On your own, take about 5 minutes to think about one or two concepts that you took away from Van Hams piece. Summarize these concepts in a clear paragraph. In groups of 3 (you may leave the room for this), address the possibility that punk style is a conservative measure necessary for a societys purification. van Ham posits this idea, but you should discuss the Rabid piece as well.
