I did a huge research paper where I took a group of western culture participants (average Americans) and compared them to people who attend the rainbow family gatherings (only group of people I could think of to get people who display an alternative lifestyle or being), thanks to SE for the rbf people that I used for my survey/research.
Anyways, I promised SE I'd post the results. The paper was for a class I took in college last semester. Overall the paper went pretty well. The best part is the charts because they display a clear distinction between the ways of life between Western & Alternative cultures- almost every question of the survey I gave differed in answers between the two groups, which is pretty amazing. I only threw out 2 out of th 26 questions I gave.
Here's just the presentation I made for it, rather than the long 15 page paper: Western vs Alternative
