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).
