In this weeks reading, Schaefer (2019, p. 79)
defines a group as people with similar norms,
values, and expectations who interact with one
another on a regular basis. Groups may be formal
or informal, and the individuals who
self-identify as part of a group often have
statuses and roles related to membership in that
group. Additionally, a person often belongs to
many groups simultaneously. As a result, each of
us has multiple dimensions of identity related
to the diverse collection of statuses and roles
that shape our daily interactions with others.
Respond to the following in a minimum of 175
words
Think about groups you consider yourself part of
or affiliated with either by an ascribed status
or through achieving membership.
8
What primary and secondary groups do you belong
to? How did you become associated with these
groups? How do those groups affect how you
behave? What differences exist among the groups
in which you belong and other groups in your

differences?

Sociologists define social institutions as

social institutions family, religion,
government, the education system, and the
economic system. From the functionalist
perspective, social institutions provide customs
and ideas to meet societys needs to replace its
members, teach its members cultural norms,
values, knowledge, and skills, provision it
members with goods and services, maintain social
control and order, and provide and maintain a
sense of purpose (Schaefer 2019, p. 207). From a
conflict perspective social institutions preserve
the social status quo of roles, statuses,
privileges.

Congratulations, you made it to Week 5! In this
final week of class, we investigate social
change. Particularly, we will look at how social
change occurs and why there can be so much
resistance to it. We also investigate the growth
of communities from prehistory through the
present, as well as the relationship between
peoples health, their geographic distribution,
and the social groups to which they belong.
19
Respond to the following in a minimum of 175
words Describe the health of the people in
your community. Do you think it is better than
average, average, or worse than average? Is
access to healthcare something you feel requires
a change at a societal level? If so, how can you
leverage what you have learned over the last five
weeks to enact that type of change? If not, how
can you leverage what you have learned over the
last five weeks to explain why the change is
unnecessary?
