  3. Group and Category • Group: “the essence of group is that individuals making it up have both rights and obligations to behave in specified ways.” (Pit Corder, p.166) • Category: “collection of individuals considered by their fellows to have something in common.” (Pit Corder, 1975: p.166)

  4. Members of a group have rights & obligations to behave in specified ways. • Groups example: • members of one family • Church community • Political party

  5. “in our society, men and women are expected to behave in different ways according to their sex, but this does not imply that they have characteristics of a group as defined earlier.” (Pit Corder, p. 166)
