Introduction to Sociology C273 (Unit 3, Modules 8-11) Complete Final Exam Quiz and Answers Study Guide social organizations and deviance - Answer Poet John Donne once wrote, "No man is an island." Given human beings' constant need to socially engage with others, nowhere is this sentiment more apparent than when one studies the sociological concept of groups. Groups, even in their most basic forms, are one of the building blocks of any society. A group is a number of people sharing a social relationship. Many people claim not to be members of any particular group. In almost every experience, this is simply not true. We are nearly all members of groups, regardless of how great or how seemingly insignificant the group may be. Take the example of a family. Most of us are members of some kind of family. A family will always consist of more than one individual. Additionally, a family also satisfies the required additional criteria of a sociological group. The members of a family will most certainly interact in some way, be it verbal communication, telecommunication, or even through body language. Family members also share a sense of belonging, have something in common, and possess norms that govern behavior. We learn how to behave from the groups around us, like families. Families teach us what counts as "normal" behavior, and it's often surprising to children (and adults!) to visit other families and discover the very different ways family members talk to one another, behave at the dinner table, or assume who will do what work within the household. Each group creates and reinforces its own norms.
