Which of the following is a characteristic of a group within a society?

  1. Have common goals and norms
  2. Possess a feeling of being a “we”
  3. Interact with one another
  4. All of the above
Explanation

Answer: D - A group’s members interact with one another, have common goals and norms, and share a feeling of “we.” A group must possess all three characteristics to truly be a group. For example, the workers in a hospital are a group, but healthcare workers in general are not considered a group, but rather a category.
