Sociology

A social group is made up of two or more persons who interact on a regular basis based on shared expectations and who share a similar identity. We all belong to a variety of social groups, as illustrated by this definition: our families, our multiple friendship groups, our sociology classes and other courses, the clubs and organisations to which we belong, and so on.
