Sitting at lunch I realized the impact sociology had on my thinking, and later became more aware. I looked around to every lunch table and noticed the many groups that existed in commons. The people surrounding my sitting at my specific lunch table exemplified my primary group that I share close bonds with. the remaining people that were content eating lunch, were secondary groups. My In-group were the people that I was conversing with, the ones that I felt loyal towards. Looking at my phone, although I shouldn't have, my cousin appeared as the sender; she takes part of my Kinship group. My primary group has many roles, such as, comforting me when I'm down, listening to me talk, and ultimately providing a support system.
Before writing this post, I navigated towards my Facebook page. This page provides many secondary groups, people who friend request me for no certain reason. In addition, Facebook is my social network to connect with many friends and family members. Facebook provides groups, such as the Blackhawk fan-page, whom many hockey fans like and become a member. This serves as an interest group, members have common interests. Finally facebook is a prime contributor towards the Reference group. Many members are constantly compared to others.
