This week in Sociology class we did an activity involving Group Identity Molecule. Doing so in this activity, we were told to write our names in the middle of the page on the blank. After we were supposed to put what groups we were involved in or part of. Some popular groups that students put down were family, friends, sports teams, etc. Also, in this activity we were told to put a master status meaning what people see you as. Most students in the class put a master status of "Friend" or "Teammate" if they were on a sports team. Many people put friend because they are close within that group and associate with that set of people very often. In my case, I like to associate with my groups of friends to play sports with, hang out together, maybe go out to dinner, and just all around hang out with. Many of the people's groups treat eachother the same way, whether it's kind or selfish. These groups can also stereotype others easily and can continue to a chain reaction to other groups. Therefore, after this week in Sociology it has really brought my attention and the real world toward me and what this society has come to. This week in sociology really defined the social structure of our behaviors in life.
