Answer to Question 1

A social circle describes the network of connections an individual develops through the people they regularly interact with. Two examples of social circles are the family and Facebook friends. Social distance describes how strong or weak our connections to others are in our social circles. In the case of the family connections should be strong, resulting in close social distance. Facebook friends would likely have weaker connections and as a result have greater social distance. Simmel uses these ideas to explain the power of social relationships over the individual.
