COUNTERCULTURE
       
        A counterculture is a subculture whose values and norms of behavior deviate from those of mainstream society, often in opposition to mainstream cultural mores. deviant behavior in which many people find this behavior in a variety of places they visit. some people consider it taboo to some people but again maybe this is normal. aberrant behaviors such as same-sex lover or have a "relationship" between men and more men and women with women anymore. Such behavior may be a lot we meet but in our country Indonesia is still very taboo, unlike Americans who have permits "same-sex relationships".

3. What are the differences between ethnocentrisms and assimilation ?

         Ethnocentric is the tendency to see the world through their own cultural filters. The term is often viewed negatively, which is defined as the inability to see others in a way outside of your own cultural background. A related definition of ethnocentrism has a tendency to judge people from the group, community, or other lifestyle according to the standards of a group or culture itself, often see other groups as inferior (lower) (Healey, 1998; Noel, 1968).
        
         Assimilation is the blending of two cultures which are accompanied by characteristic loss of indigenous culture to form a new culture. The process of assimilation was marked by the development of the same attitudes which, while sometimes emotional, aiming to achieve unity, or at least to achieve integration in the organization and action.

so, can I conclude from differences ethnocentrism and assimilation is ethnocentrism not affected by the new culture because according to their culture that their culture is the top or the best so ,according to that culture or no culture better person than them. different cultural assimilation or if there are moving people or their culture will be affected but still does not eliminate their culture.
