Groups or organizations are an important part of some people’s lives. Why are groups or organizations important to people? Use specific reasons and examples to explain your answer.
--------------------------------------------
A group is defined as a collection of people, who share certain traits, interact with one another, accept expectations and obligations as members of the group, and share a common identity and work for one or more common goals. According to this definition, society appears as a large organization comprising of various groups.
Primary groups’ constitute of small groups with intimate, kith-kin based relationships: families, for example. They commonly last for years. They are small and display face to face interaction. Those who participate in or for study groups focus on adequately functioning their groups with larger organizations, or with the decisions made in these organizations.
Conversely secondary groups are bigger groups where relationships are formal and institutional. Some groups may last for years but some may dissolve after a short time. The primary groups are formed within the secondary group. Individuals almost universally have a bond toward what are known as "Reference Groups". These are the groups to which an individual conceptually relates oneself, and from there, one adopts goals and values as a part of their own self identity. If one brings a small collection of strangers together in a restricted space and environment, provide a common goal, and maybe a few ground rules, a predictable flow of behavior will follow. Interaction between individuals is the basic requirement.
In conclusion, group working is like a team work, where all work for a common goal. Members of a group work in cooperation and it is worth remembering here that nothing can be achieved remaining in isolation. Schools, Colleges and Universities also have Group Discussion as a part of academia. It is evident that how important are the groups and finally a “Group Organization”. Hence group working is most important and highly beneficial.
