The Social Group

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

A social group is two or more people who interact with one another, share expectations, and recognize themselves as belonging together.

Show

A book club is a group; the people waiting at one bus stop are not, though both are gatherings.

Watch for

Shared presence is not membership — recognition of belonging is what makes the group.
