SUBJECT : UNDERSTANDING CULTURE, SOCIETY, AND POLITICS

TYPE OF ACTIVITY : Written Work

TITLE OF ACTIVITY : Social Groups
LEARNING TARGET/S : I can differentiate between primary groups, secondary groups,
reference groups, and how society is organized.

Social group – can be identified as a collection of people who regularly interact with one
another on the basis of shared expectations concerning behavior and who share a sense of
common identity.
Primary group - a small social group whose members share close, personal, enduring
relationships. Long-lasting intimate relationship which binds member together more than the
goal.
Secondary Group - mostly impersonal and usually short-term. Common interests bind the
members together more than their relationship.
Reference Group - group to which we compare ourselves. We used reference groups in order
to guide our behavior and attitudes and help us to identify social norms.
