Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

According to functionalists, people form groups to meet instrumental and expressive

needs. Groups help members do jobs that are impossible to do alone or that would be

very difficult and time-consuming at best. In addition, groups help people meet their

expressive, or emotional, needs, especially those involving self-expression and support

from family, friends, and peers. Conflict theorists suggest that groups also involve a

series of power relationships whereby the needs of individual members may not be

equally served.
