Presentation Module 01 Teapot

This document discusses different types of social groups. It defines primary groups as small, intimate groups like families and close friends whose members share personal relationships and support. Secondary groups are larger and less intimate, established for a shared purpose like school or work. In-groups are social categories one strongly identifies with, while out-groups are those one does not identify with, which can lead to favoritism of the in-group or aggression towards the out-group. Reference groups are those used as a standard to evaluate oneself and one's behaviors. Finally, it discusses social networks as relationships between individuals, groups, or societies that can be analyzed at the micro, meso, and macro levels.

GROUPS WITHIN
SOCIETY
• Primary Group
A primary group is a small social group whose members share personal and lasting
relationships. Members of this group spend a great deal of time together and show real
concern for one another. It plays a significant role in individual’s development and their
relationships formed are often long-lasting and goals in themselves. They also are often
psychologically comforting to the individuals involved and provide a source of support.
1. Family - Families spend a significant amount of time together, allowingnthe
members to support, comfort, and encourage one another. Families are connected for a
lifetime and are significant to each member’s personal growth.
2. Friends – They often spend a lot of time experiencing different adventures
together, chatting about personal stories and simply enjoying each other’s company.
3. Love Relationships – A couple in a love relationship is first brought together

• Secondary Group
Are large clusters of people who have a mutually shared purpose, often
aiming to conplete tasks. They are much less likely to be an influence to an
individual’s identity. It sometimes involves weal emotional and interpersonal ties
compared to the primary group.
People in this group interact on a less personal level and their relationships
are temporary. They established to perform functions; people’s roles are more
interchangeable compared to the primary group and based on interests and
activities. This groups are groups in which one exchanges explicit commodities,
such as labour for wages, services for payments, etc.
1. School/Class – A classroom consists of students and a teacher, oin
which the teacher is in charge of creating a structure and environment that help
the students learn. Much less of being emotional with each other.
2. Workplaxce or Place of Employment – The goal of the structured
environment in the workplace is to fulfill a predetermined assignment.
• In-groups and Out-groups
An in-group is a group wherein people feel that they are part of the social
group. It is a social category which you identify strongly. An out-group is the opposite
of in-group. It is a social group with whoch an individual does not identify to be a part
of.
Factors that creates the identification of an individual if it is in the in-group or
out-group:
✴ Race: Asian vs. Caucasians
✴ Culture: Filipino vs. Chinese
✴Gender: Males vs. Females
✴ Age: Teenagers vs. Senior Citizens
✴ Religion: Muslims vs. Infidels

Phenomenas when these two groups clash:


In-group favoritism refers to the fact that under certain conditions people will
preference and have affinity for one’s in-group over the out-group.
Ex. In a job, managers trust people who are from their same race compared to
other races.
Intergroup Aggression wherein in-groups try to harm another person because
they feel that they are part of the out group.
Ex. When sports fans try to shout at people who are not fans of their team.
Out-group Derogation a phenomenon in which an out-group is perceived as
being threatining to the members of an in-group.
Ex. Gang wars in America. Groups consider the other group as threat to them.
• Reference Group
Is a group to which we compare ourselves. It serves as a standard to which
we measure our behaviors and attitudes and help us to identify social norms.
Sociologists call any group that individuals use as a standard for evaluating
themselves and their own behavior a reference group.
Reference group acts as a frame of reference of an individual wants to be
part of the norms of the group.

• Networks
A social network is a theoretical construct useful in the social sciences to
study relstionships between individuals, groups, organizations, or even entire
socities. It is a social structure exists between actors (individuals and
organizations).
Social networks are divided into three levels of analysis:
1. Micro – smallest level of analysis of social networks. It explains that a social
network typically starts with an individual. The micro level is divided into four (4)
levels.
• Dyadic Level – social relationship starts with two individuals
• Triadic Level – social relationship starts with three individuals
• Actor Level – the smallest unit of analysis in a social network is an
individual in their social setting
• Subset Level – may focus on distance and reachabiloty, cliques, cohesive
subgroups, or other group actions or behavior.
2. Meso - this level of analysis begins with a population size that falls between
the micro and macro levels. Examples of meso level of analysis are;
• Organizations – group of people that had distributive tasks for a collective
goal.
• Scale Free Networks – a network whose drgree, distribution follows a
power law, at least asympotically
3. Macro – generally traces the outcomes of intersctions, such as econimic or
other resource transfer interactions over a large population.
