Primary Groups

Captions available

The idea

Primary groups are small, long-lasting, and emotionally close, valued for the relationships themselves rather than for anything they accomplish.

In practice

A family or a lifelong friendship persists for decades without any task ever requiring it to continue.

Where people slip

Primary means foundational to the self, not merely first in time.
