Answer 3

Aggregate: people who happen to be in same place at same time but NO connection between the people

• Example: people at a resturant -> they are all in the same place at same time but dont know eachother/probably never be in same place ever again
• Group: people that interact with eachother over time + identity/beloning + norms that outgroup members DONT have
• Example: class consists of 2+ ppl who meet several times a week, identity themselves based on the classes they are taking
