Document Summary

Group a collection of two or more people who interact with each other and are interdependent, in the sense that their needs and goals cause them to rely on each other. Groups can include school teams, family, campus groups, community groups, temporary groups (classmates in a school project) etc. Group membership also plays an important role in motivating people to become involved in social change. A group cannot be known as a group if it involved many people. For example a college or university you attend is not a social group, because you are unlikely to meet and interact with every student there. Another important feature of groups is that the members tend to be alike in age, sex, beliefs, and opinions. Social roles shared expectations by group members about how particular people in the group are suppose to behave.
