'No Man is an Island'
In the midst of a great pandemic from the covid-19, most everyone has been
isolated from others, told not to go to work or work from home or to stay at home. We
are far from each other physically but not socially. Though we may not be able to see
our loved ones often because of this pandemic, but still we communicate to them
through different technologies and of course, social media.
Social group may be defined as a group of individuals who often act with
each other on the premise of shared expectations regarding behaviour and who
share a common identity.
Categories of Groups
Primary group is a typical small social group whose members share close,
personal, intimate, and face to face association and cooperation and have strong
emotional ties. The members have a feeling of togetherness and belongingness, and
sympathetic with one another. Examples include families, friendship groups, play
groups, peers, neighbours, etc.
Secondary group can be small or large who do not interact much; mostly
impersonal; interactions among members are casual and usually short-term; typically
2
found at work and school. Examples include the group for a school project, members
of the committee, superior-subordinate, seller-buyer, etc.
Out-group is a social group that an individual does not identify with; viewed
as outsiders of the in-group. Any member of the in-group has a feeling of
strangeness, avoidance, antagonism, etc. towards the members of the out-group.
Example could be a sports team opponent.
What’s More

life.
