Task 2.

Learning Activity 3.1

Instruction: Share your ideas following the five-paragraph essay, how is it important for you
to know the different circumstances under which groups can come into existence? Explain
your answers through examples.

Five-paragraph essay contains the following parts;

1. Introduction

2. First part of the body

5. Conclusion consists of summarization and findings with the topic being studied.

According to Hughes & Kroehler in 2009 that one of the most essential topics of
sociological research is the idea of group. Entering groups fulfills our desire to belong, allows
us to obtain information and understanding via social comparison, and defines our sense of
self and social identity which allows us to attain goals that we may not be able to reach if we
worked alone. In this case, I will discuss my insights in regards to the term to where groups
come into a circumstance.

Right now, there is a rapid progress of development in the world and to how they
encounter it. The reason for the growth of the majority in the world is to how the group
interacts to it; Governments, Peer groups, Schools, Law firms and such. Through their
contributions to the society, there may have been differences to how they contribute but we
can interpret to how they provide information, help the individuals and the restructure of the
world. An example for this is the situation that the Philippine has experienced today; the
election.

The election has been the highlight news in the Philippines nowadays as it can greatly
affect the whole nation. It became an important factor for Filipinos to be updated on politics
in order for them to make a change for themselves that the politics does have the capability
to do so. Another example would be the influence from the society. In terms of society,
majority would be peer friends and families that greatly affect your perspective in life.
Although clubs and other group gatherings can be included but to take note that it is based
on the person’s majority of time to spend with.

We also need to take note of the culture’s influence to us. Actually, cultures are
related to the society but it is quite a narrow from my discussion earlier so we will need to
factor again as it has one of the greatest influence that a person can have. Groups have their
own culture based on the information, beliefs, traditions, and behaviors that its members
share. Members develop trust, cohesiveness, and a sense of safety as they become more
aware of their common culture, which promotes collaboration. Therefore, we should
comprehend that information on culture can help us understand to how we interact and
adjust to the situation given.

Overall, group is very important to us as we can improve our outputs and results as
individual or as a group for which it can greatly affect the attitudes, behaviors, objectives and
roles that we have obtained from different groups. Not only is limited of the possibility of the
group changing the present, but also to the future.

Instruction: Answer the following questions to the best of your ability.

1. Explain the major characteristics and functions of primary groups and secondary
groups.
Primary groups, based from the word primary where a group of people that
makes it as an important part of the individual’s social life. Mostly it is where the
majority of one’s life has been involved to. We can determine the characteristics of
primary groups as long as they are in; personal relationship, deeper communication
especially face to face, stability in communication, sense of loyalty, mostly small in
size, informal structure, their approach to decision-making (non-rational). Primary
groups also have a common sense of goals and values that their relationships to each
other were unconditional.
Secondary groups are by disparity of having formal, large groups that has a
limited purpose due to its either defined or structured principle. There were most
likely formed to attain the specific objective as they can have aloof relationship at
times. Indirect communication, temporary duration, weak group, rational decision-
making and formal structure is important to take note for the characteristics of the
secondary group.
2. What is the difference between an in-group and an out-group? Formal and informal
boundaries? Cite examples of these differences.

The difference between an in-group and an out group is likely to be related to

the formal and informal boundaries. Each of these groups has their own specific
boundaries that made them belong to a specific group with same interest, objectives
and such. An in-group would be defined to the relationship of the individual where
he/she feel belongs and to who identifies with. They tend to view these things positive
and view other parties, especially to opposite interest of theirs to negative light.
Meanwhile, out-group is where the individual feel that they do not belong to that
specific group. An example would be a member of basketball club does not feel
belonged to soccer club and different political parties have set a rivalry towards the
other.
Lastly, formal boundaries were mostly setting a form of agendas through formal
intentions such as rules and agreements to comply to. Whereas, the informal group
were based on psychological factor to how they understand with each other (mostly on
positive feeling) that makes them establish a specific boundaries. An example would
be families and business; the families, friends or loved ones were sharing a specific
interest and approach while businesses needed rules to sign for in order for them to
build a relationship (workers to their boss) to reach a specific agreement.
