Kinship and marriage operate as organizing principles in all cultures. There are other principles of social organization that need to be considered. In this chapter, we look at grouping by gender, class, age, race, and common-interest associations, as well as the principles of social, ethnic, and gender classification. Social organization based on kinship and marriage has received an extraordinary amount. Grouping by gender: all human societies have had a division of labour, huron of the iroquois first nations, industrial nations and moves toward equality. Age grouping: universal factor in determining social position. Common-interest associations: social groupings based on factors other than age, kinship, marriage, or territory, probably arose in first villages, examples: church groups, street gangs, political associations, and sports clubs.
