    How Society Is Organized: Module 5 - Ucsp

    Uploaded by

    The document discusses how society is organized into social groups. It defines social groups as collections of people who interact regularly and share a sense of identity. There are two main types of social groups: primary groups which are small and intimate, like families, and secondary groups which are larger and formed for a purpose, like work colleagues. Social groups can also be defined by self-identification - in-groups that one identifies with versus out-groups they see as different. The module provides learning objectives around distinguishing group types and an activity where students choose which members of society to save during a global catastrophe.
