Types of Groups

You belong to more groups than you could list, and they are not all the same kind of thing. Sociology cuts them two ways. Charles Horton Cooley split them by how close the tie is — primary or secondary. William Graham Sumner split them by which side of a line you stand on — in-group or out-group. Sort a stack of real relationships, then watch the line move.
