Street culture is a culture of containment. Most young people do not realize that it all too often leads to a “dead end”. “Street culture, ” as I am using the term, is a counterforce to movement culture.

This world view is mostly negative, because it demands constant adjustment to circumstances that are often far beyond young people’s control or understanding, such as economics, education, housing, employment, nutrition, law, and so forth.
