B. ABSTRACTION
Sociological Perspective of Society
Social groups are fundamental parts of human life. They are a multitude of people who see each other often and
think of themselves as part of a group. There appears to be groups of people everywhere. We could be a member
of a church group, college class, workplace, sports team, club, and others. The discipline of Sociology focuses
primarily on the study of social groups in a society.

Social Groups
are formed as an assemblage of people who often interact with each other on the basis of a common outlook
concerning behavior and a sense of common identity. A social group may consist of two or more individuals who do
things together with a common goal and interest.
Examples:
family
relatives
couples
friends
church mate
schoolmate
co-workers
business
neighborhood
organization
team mate
clubs
Group
- - is any collection of people who interact on the basis of shared expectations regarding one another’s behavior
( Kornblum, 2003). - is consist of two or more people who are bound together in relatively stable patterns of social
interaction and who share a feeling of unity ( Hughes and Kroeler, 2009) - is comprised of two or more persons who
are in social interaction, who are guided by similar norms, values and expectations, and who maintain a stable
pattern of relationship over a period of time. - Is a specified number of individuals where each recognizes members

CLASSIFICATION OF GROUPS

GROUP BOUNDARIES
A. IN- GROUP
- group with which the individual identifies and which gives him sense of belonging, solidarity, camaraderie, esprit de corps,
and a protective attitude toward the other members.
- The members are loyal to each other and share common norms, activities, goals and background.
B. OUT-GROUP
- viewed as outsiders by the in-group;
- Any member of the in-group has insufficient contact with the members of the
out-group
- Members of the in-group have feelings of strangeness, dislikes, avoidance, antagonism, indifference and even hatred
toward the out-group
C. REFERENCE GROUP
- Group that is significant to us as models even though we ourselves may not be a part of the group.
- Is one which an individual does not only have a high regard for but one after
which he or she patterns his/her life
- Its central aspect is self-identification rather than actual membership
TYPES OF GROUP BOUNDARIES
A. FORMAL GROUP BOUNDARIES
- groups in which duties and privileges are clearly defined and expectations are prescribed, independent of the person who
happens to occupy a given position
- Individual roles are explicitly designed as president, v-president, secretary, and treasurer
- With constitution or set of by-laws
B. INFORMAL GROUP BOUNDARIES
- Arises spontaneously out of the interactions of two or more people
- They are unplanned, have no explicit rules for membership, and do not have
specific objectives to be attained
- The members exchange confidences, share a feeling of intimacy and acquire a sense of belongingness.
CONSEQUENCES OF GROUP BOUNDARIES
a. people gain a clearer sense of their diversity
b. ethnocentrism may grow
c. serious personal and social problems may arises
FUNCTIONS OF SOCIAL GROUPS
We typically belong to a certain type of social group, with each group having its own functions. The primary group
plays a vital part in the socialization process. It forms the social nature and ideals of individuals especially in shaping the
culture and personality where a person learns social norms, beliefs, morals, and values. On the other hand, secondary
group members tend to relate to others only in specific roles and for practical reasons. This group helps in fulfilling various
types of human needs and brings about social awareness and social change. Also, this group helps fulfill various special
interests in such fields as sports, dance, music, and others. An in-group may form within our secondary group such as our
workmates, group mates, or assembly which functions as a group of people who can connect with each other because of
their sense of identity and belongingness while out group functions as a competitor or rival group that an individual is
opposed to. Reference group provides a standard of measurement. This group has a strong impact on how a person thinks
and acts as it may serve as guide to a member’s behavior and social norms. Thus, networks function as a social media
influencer. Social networks are influential in a wide range of online platforms used for building social relationships with other
people including sharing of political opinions, likes and dislikes, and can even show trending societal issues or personalities.
