What do you mean by social group?

1.	What do you mean by social group?
Answer» \tSociety is formed by human interaction. Humans interact, communicate and construct social collectivities. These collectivities are referred to as social groups and exist in every society.\tWe have something in common with others in the same group, we identify with the group, and the group can create a sense of belonging for us. However, the types of groups that exist may differ from society to society.\tThus, social group refers to a collection of continuously interacting persons who share common interest, culture, values and norms within a given society.\tAccording to Horton and Hunt “Social groups are aggregates or categories of people who have a consciousness of membership and of interaction”.\tA group is also different from a category. If you are in the same category as a person, you may share similar characteristics—like age, height, or you both wear glasses, but you may not interact or feel the sense of belonging.
