Biography of subcultures
How do people in the subculture live in order to die? How are the ideas of death realized, embodied and intertwined in the everyday life of members of subcultures? It is logical that among the speakers were representatives of the biker subculture-the University of Tartu, the American expert in McKinsey and Ukrainian Academics O. Maltsev and M., who were submitted for discussion, sounded as follows: PROF drawing.
Can we consider the subculture a single machine that forms a person’s personality? Ershaim has been exploring organizations for more than 30 years, writes about them and advises them. Edershaim is the author of the books “Marvin Bauer, founder of McKinsey” and “The uncompromising Drucker: calls for leaders of tomorrow are the last advice from the father of modern management”.
The nurse in the city hospital saw that the dose of medicine was not the same, but did not talk about this to the doctor, because he spoke with contempt about her qualifications. The patient is dead. The young pilot, being in a critical maneuver, thought that the officer appreciated the moment incorrectly, and acted in his own way. Thanks to this, passengers managed to save. Knowing that a large order for a billion dollars may break, a person from the Amazon team was faced to argue with the chief manager, and the company still lost profits.
Here are three different examples that 1 voice matters. Why is this happening? No one wakes up in the morning and does not go to work to look like ignorant, incompetent, annoying or negative. A person does not ask questions so as not to seem ignorant, he is afraid to ask for help so that he is not considered incompetent, does not put forward proposals, so as not to be annoying, and is afraid to criticize the status quo, so that God forbid him does not take him for the carrier of “negativity”.
Organizations were once designed with such rules to maintain stability. But for us this is no longer the case: to succeed, everyone should be part. This is achievable in the only way: to create a culture that gives psychological safety to a person. It is also necessary that every person in the company understands: this is not only about money and information: we are an organization primarily people, and we have a balance of all factors.
We, scientists, must draw healthy guides for the world, otherwise it will not survive. Sometimes we can warn, not correct mistakes - but only if we understand where the world changes. What Marvin Bauer would say: the most important is the institutional values. But if you do not change them, you are old -fashioned, if you change too fast, this is chaos. Each manager must check his company for the employees to have an answer to the question: “Can you influence the value of the organization?
Oleg Maltsev Ukraine is a scientist, writer, researcher, criminologist, psychologist, academician of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences and the European Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, founder and head of the Institute of Memory, head of the expeditionary corps, chairman of the Odessa photographic scientific society. The author of numerous books in areas such as applied history, sociology, deep psychology, philosophy, forensics, criminology.
Maltsev is the editor of several interdisciplinary reviewed magazines. I became interested in subcultures 28 years ago. The reason for the study of this kind of phenomena was a striking of the existence of these organizations for me. I have always been interested in the issues of management and security of business circles. What leads the companies to bankruptcy, why do certain phenomena happen in the life of society?
I looked at all this and asked myself many questions. As a person who divides all the information into “information” and “disinformation”, I soon realized that the world in which we live consists of one misinformation. People studied at universities, received recognition, but in an instant-their companies fell apart, someone was injured, nothing happens, and many subcultures both existed and continue to exist, and many of them have exceeded for years!
It turns out that people who were taught at universities were not able to teach and who did not study, but are simply members of the subculture, flourish! Even the time of the existence of these subcultures did not bother me much; It was important for me to understand how they exist! When I studied some of them, I saw that they exist very well, and certain three mafia, camorra and ndranget are so beautiful, the best in the world!
Moreover, these are criminal subcultures: people rejected by society. This society rejected them so much, which placed them in the very center of Europe. When I asked the appropriate structures how 3 the strongest criminal subcultures exist in the very center of Europe, they did not know what to answer. And all that we came to - that "everything is not so simple." By that time, I was already engaged in the study of subcultures about 20 years and without them understood that everything was not so simple.
The world in which we live is absurd.Imagine that some kind of flu can put all of Europe at home, close along the compartments and not allow to go out into the street. When you look at this from the side, it seems to you that this is some kind of fantastic novel. Adults do not understand elementary things: if there is a disease, it must be treated, it makes no sense to hide from it.
This is understandable to any scientist, but this is not clear to the heads of European states who are used to looking for a pill in life. Please note that subcultures in this situation feel great. When we had a round table in the pandemic at the Academy, all experts, as one, said that crime feels best. All people in Europe are bad, and this is very good.
So, probably, do not study what is taught at the university, but it is necessary - the experience of other organizations. I say to all businessmen at my lectures: make criminology to your hobby. Otherwise, you will finish very badly: what you were taught, does not work and will never work. And in order to understand how these systems work and why they are so tenacious and effective, we need analysis methods.
The drawing of Friedrich Lawrence is one of the methods of analysis of these organizations. Reasoning with a pen in the hand on the basis of an inverted tree gives a huge number of ideas and allows, from my point of view, to start the study correctly. That is, go to the roots and understand where it all came from, why it works so efficiently. Once, one of the university professors told me that I am incorrectly approaching the question that "it does not work." And then I asked him what he came to the university.
He said that he had come. I do not know how true my gaze is, but it is definitely effective. And methods such as Laurence tree allow the study to be visible. I think that when you later collect this, a slide with a tree will be a clear manual for you so that people will quickly understand what you want to convey to them. Therefore, from my point of view, the contribution of Lawrence to the study is very interesting and significant - especially for young scientists who are just starting to engage in this activity.
Since we have such an open panel, then I will tell you what I was not going to. My first object of the study was Mackenzie. At that time, there was no connection with the Western world in the Soviet Union, but due to the specifics of my work, I had the opportunity to read any materials in a foreign language. I was not going to study Mackenzie at all, I was looking for a business that I would like to do.
I was very far from business, a military man. Business was not for me. And in one of the articles I met a person. It was just Marvin Bauer. This man, as it seemed to me, did what I wanted.
And then I began to think about how to become a strategic consultant - and then in the Soviet Union there was not even a word. And this is probably one of the things that reassured me, why I should be a scientist. Because I did not want to be scientists either. Marvin Bauer's personality as a star was shining for me, but I did not consider McCenzie the standard of the organization: this company was simply an example for me that this can be done.
And I got on the way, how to do it. When the union fell apart and we became an open society and a business appeared, I became the first managerial and strategic consultant. When I said who I am, people asked: “What? I must say that it was the study of Mackenzie that later pushed me to study subcultures. Since it was my first work and it was quite weak, since I did not know how to work then, she taught me a lot - forced me to read all books and literature, everything that was in the library of the US Congress and other serious meetings.
Later, all this was my colleagues to read, 10 years after me - by that time I was already an expert. Since I started alone, I did not have partners, I liked this business that you can do it alone, that I do not need no one to work. Later I realized that still I need to create a structure for this. When I already became a famous scientist, everyone was surprised that I was traveling on a motorcycle.
It was a closed part of my personality, even good friends were surprised. I started driving in the army: it was a 3-wheeled military motorcycle with a stroller, we used it to go to the store. I drove for a long time and did not understand what I was doing. And if it were not for Nick Ainich, who showed me a different level of discipline, I only realized with him that to sit on 2 wheels, you need to actually have a rod inside.
A person who without discipline sits on a motorcycle, he just likes to spend his life. And so we approach the idea of death in subcultures. The fact is that the idea of death is based on any subculture. Although even members of the subculture may not know about this. At one time, when I was very young, I spoke with an authoritative person in science, and he asked me how I relate to death.
I asked why he asks this question.And he answered this: “It is the answer to this question that determines your attitude to life”: the attitude to death determines the attitude to life, when I was in the last two scientific expeditions, in Croatia, began to write books about how the subculture forms a personality.
