"Individuals living and working in a particular spatial and temporal location are challenged by dominant images "
The student body at Purdue is only here temporarily. Many of us leave after graduation, some leave earlier, and others stay a while longer. During our time at Purdue we live here. We also work together in many different classes, teams, organizations, and groups. There are many dominant images at Purdue, also known as our professors and TAs. they challenge us daily with homework and class projects. So according to Downy's definition of "culture," there is a separate culture at Purdue.
The culture at Purdue is one of thousands of students here for the purpose of receiving a nationally recognized degree. We all have similar working habits, ethics, and interests. We are friendly and nice people. We are a culture of Boilermakers.
From this I get that there are cultures within cultures here at Purdue. If this is the correct assumption I am making from this post, then I completely agree. Not everybody shares the same interests but that’s what college is for, experiencing different activities. Cultures can and they do arise from different activities. But also, there is a common background interest that you mentioned that creates a “Purdue” culture. (engr103)
