As we moved through childhood into adulthood, most of us were part of a social group outside of our families; many of us continue to be part of one. Members of a social group typically share interests, core values, and beliefs that help to bond them together emotionally.
Provide a personal experience of a social group to which you have belonged in the past or to which you now belong, or of one for which you have an interest or affinity.
How did/does/would belonging to that group make you feel?
What is the emotional glue that connects members?
How do these social bonds differ from those you experienced with family?
While the rewards of being part of a social group are many, do you see any downsides or pitfalls? (If you prefer not to share your personal experiences, pick a social group that you consider an interesting subject for discussion.)
