Answer to Question 1

Groups outside the family exert similar pressures to conform throughout an individual's life. One way they achieve this power is through positive affirmationsor claimsthat groups use to establish boundaries. There are an infinite variety of markings, behaviors, and attributes that are possible, from wearing special clothes or uniforms, wearing tattoos with certain designs, body piercings, flash mobbing, and the like to using a specific language and code of behavior. Such positive affirmations signal who is in the group and who is out. But merely being a compliant member in good standing of a group is not the whole story; the negative affirmations of group membershipwhat we aren't allowed to do if we are to retain membershipconstitut e the other side of group influence. Both are important.
