Life in Groups

In high school, my basketball team was one of my secondary groups. It's a team organized around a specific activity. Each of us aimed for the completion of one task - a championship.



 Someone's best friends can be an example of a primary group because they often spend a lot of time with one another. If it wasn't for these two, my high school years would've been disastrous!

 Facebook is a popular example of a social network that connects people from all around the world. Most of the time, we add people we hardly know on social networking websites because we might've seen them once or twice at a party or another social event.

  A neighborhood is an aggregate because it is a specific physical location shared by a group of people, but this specific group of people might not have a special relation or connection with one another.

 Drive-thru services are an example of McDonaldization. The widespread amount of drive thru fast food chains shows the bureaucratic rationalization along with deteriorating humanization.
