What to Focus On

  • Sociology needs specialised terms because social life is familiar and therefore hard to see clearly.
  • Concepts are tools for understanding society.
  • Different sociological thinkers focus on different ideas.

  • An aggregate is not automatically a social group.
  • Quasi groups lack structure and organisation.
  • Primary groups are intimate and face-to-face.

  • Reference groups are admired and imitated.
  • A person identifies with a reference group without belonging to it.
  • Peer groups are a kind of primary group.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Any gathering of people is a social group.

Quasi groups are completely separate from social groups and can never become social groups.

Primary groups and secondary groups are just informal and formal names for the same thing.
