Answer 1

The subcultures refer to the cultures different from the cultures of the majority people. The subculture journalism includes the customs, habits, superstitions, prejudices etc of a particular community. Their specialty is focused on the journalism.

In the Aboriginals there are some cultures of smoking and taking alcohol. These matters are their culture. In marriage ceremony and other religious ceremonies they take alcohol together. It is the type of their celebration.

Some notable subcultures are Jazz, Hip Hop etc. These subcultures are directly related to the use of Cannabis. In the journalism such cultures are spread with exaggeration. But the use of canna is is not made known to the people directly. But the appearance and manners of the voncerned persons show that they are drug addicted.

Witchcraft is an important subculture and mainly in the backward community we find the use of witchcraft. But those who are related to the witchcraft are drug addicted. They also take alcohol for witchcraft. In the media we find the harmful aspects of witchcraft. Without drug addiction such deviation and abnormality are not possible.
