Document Summary
Social group: collection of 2 more individuals who interact frequently with one another and share a sense of belonging and have a feeling of interdependence. Aggregate: collection of people who happen to be in the same place at the same time but have little else in common ie. shoppers at a store or passengers on airplane. They share a common purpose such as arriving at a destination or buying things but don"t generally interact with one another. Category : a number of people who may never have met one another but who share a similar characteristic such as age or education level ie. first year students. They are not social groups bc they people in them usually do not create a social structure or have anything else in common other than a particular trait. Sometimes those in categories or aggregates form social groups. Sometimes people under the category of student become aggregates at a orientation.
