Aside from the common misconception that culture is directly linked to race or ethnicity, it is quite evident that culture can stem from any existing group.

I will journey throughout the culture uncovering issues concerning the corporate view that is pushed through mainstream networks, as well as the underground scene where “truth” takes on new meaning.
