440  4 The classic collection 
500    In this programme Willis talks about how his interest in 
       culture and counter culture and its reproduction from the 
       inside.  He discusses his ethnographic research methods, 
       how he chose his subjects and his relationship with the 
       notorious "lads".  In contrast to the conventional 
       sociological view of the time that saw the education 
       system "failing" working class youth, Willis argued that 
       the lads he observed were deliberately failing themselves 
       in recognition of the inevitable manual working future 
       than awaited them.  In the final section Paul Willis talks
       about the persistence of counter school cultures in 
       contemporaty societies in spite of the drying up of manual
       labouring jobs.  He also tells us what happened to the 
       "lads".  This programme will be relevant to those studying
       education, stratification, culture and research methods.
