Secondary Groups

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

State

Secondary groups are larger, more impersonal, and organized around a shared goal or activity rather than around the relationships themselves.

Show

A committee, a class, and a work team each exist to accomplish something and dissolve when it ends.

Watch for

Secondary groups can generate primary ties inside them, and often do.
