This is my group of friends. Sociology considers us a group because we interact with eachother all the time and have the same interests. We all like kittens and music. We share those attributes, as well as many others. We're friends because we all know what it's like to have people be jealous of us (-Cher Horowitz, Clueless).
The girls and I were stuck at this traffic light for what felt like hours. Us and the people in the cars around us make up an aggregate. We are all stopped at the light, sharing a physical location, but nothing person. Once the light turned green, we left that spot and and all the people in the other cars behind.
This is a picture of a crowd. My friends and I were at this location with all of these people for the same reason: Coachella. We talked so some of them. However, after Coachella ended, we never even thought of them. They were just in the same place.
When I was in high school, this was my secondary group. We all knew each other and saw each other on a daily basis, but for the sole purpose of education. Secondary groups are groups that individuals are in that are less intimate and are centered around the accomplishment of a task.
Breejette, David, and I make up a triad. A triad is a group with three members. Usually, the members of a triad are close. A triad is more stable than a dyad because the third member plays mediator if the other two members quarrel. Also, if one member leaves, the group still exists.
