    This document discusses how society is organized through social groups. It defines a social group as two or more people who identify with and engage with each other. Social groups are categorized as either primary groups, which are small and involve close interaction among members, or secondary groups, which are larger and more impersonal. Groups are also defined based on membership, as in-groups that one identifies with or out-groups they do not. The document also discusses reference groups that influence norms and behaviors, including normative groups one directly interacts with and comparative groups used for social comparison. Finally, it defines a social network as the relationships between individuals or groups within an organization or society.
