Answer to Question 1

A social group is a collection of two or more people who interact

frequently with one another, share a sense of belonging, and have a

feeling of interdependence. An aggregate is a collection of people who

happen to be in the same place at the same time but share little else in

common (such as several people waiting for a traffic light to change). A

category is a number of people who may never have met one another but

share a similar characteristic (such as education level, age, race, or

gender).
