The bonds that unite: speaking of we (cid:1) Our lives intersect could be long lasting or temperate. Interact with each other on some level of frequency. An individual is able to identify with what groups they belong too. People put memberships of their groups as a part of their identity. Primary the ones you spend most time with. Agreement with what the expectations are i. e. you know what your mom expects of you. Rules are not written down passed on orally and through practice. Range of interaction is on a much more narrow field of activity. Can start in a secondary group and become a primary group: i. e. making a friend from sociology class and hang outside of class. In-groups: in the group, members of the social group. In some social groups, the boundary between in-group and out-group is very strict. I. e. in order to be an engineer you have to have high credentials.
