LESSON # 3:

HOW A SOCIETY IS ORGANIZED


PREPARED BY: GROUP 5
A social group is a collection of people
who interact with each other and share
similar characteristics and a sense of unity
Interdependence is a process of social interaction
where certain common goals are established with
other people in such a way that each person’s
results are affected by the actions of the others. In
some cases, and particularly in working groups,
interdependence involves the need to work
together to successfully accomplish a task.

Example: Individuals playing baseball are


dependent upon each other to be able to play the
game and also to play well.
A social aggregate is a collection of people who
are in the same place, but do not interact or share
the same characteristics.

Example: People who are riding in a bus.
