Sosiologi Kelas XI: Pembentukan Kelompok Sosial

You must have heard the word "group" a lot, right? At school, there are usually groups of people who work in groups. There are junior science groups, and there are also extracurricular groups. And maybe you also like to play with a friend of a gang when you take a break or go home, right? Well, that can also be called a group. Why do we like to be in groups? Is it to be a socialite of the past?

Can we say that A-type gangs are social groups? Well, instead of being curious, let's discuss it together! We are really happy to be a group because we are social beings. Since we were born, basically we have had the basic needs for life, namely to be one with other humans around us, such as our father, mother, sister, and brother, and also to be one with the environment.

For example, we want to eat and live. Surely, we will be in this natural environment together with others, right?

Well, because of those two things, we are encouraged to form a group in society. And this is what we call a social group. Then, are groups and social groups the same or different? Well, it's different. From the word, there is an addition of social, so it's different.

If the social group is a group of people who have the same awareness of membership and interact with each other,

So, the important element in a social group is the presence of relationships and interactions. For example, if we gather in a place like that, like a group of people waiting for the bus at the stop, we can only say that it is a group and not a social group. Why? Because the people there have no relationship and they tend to be busy with their own activities without interacting with each other.

Well, because there is no relationship and interaction in that group, so we can't say that this group is a social group. The requirements and characteristics of social groups are several according to experts. The first, according to Robert Cammerton, a sociologist from America, there are three criteria for social groups. The first, they have an interaction pattern. The second,

The interacting party admits that they are a member of the group. So the individual in this group realizes that they are part of the group. Lastly, the interacting party is admitted by the other party as a member of the group. So this group admits that the individual is part of the group. And the other party also knows that they are part of the group.

According to Suriano Sukanto, an Indonesian sociologist, a human group can only be called a group if it has 5 conditions. The first one, the member of the group realizes that he is part of the group that is involved. So he realizes that if he enters the GPU, eh, not oil, but the Pahamify gang,

And second, there is a reverse relationship between one member and another member of the group. So, there is an interaction between one person and another person. Like, for example, learning together. Then, there are bond factors that are shared. So they have the same goal. For example, the goal is to succeed in UTBK and enter the dream campus. Then, continue again.

there must be a structure or a pattern and a pattern of behavior that is the same. For example, there is a gang leader. He will set when the study schedule is, when the discussion is, and when to ask the mentor to do the consultation. Lastly, there is a system and process.

So, for example, you want to join the Pahamify Uhoi gang that was there. Well, you have to register first, then you can be a member. Okay, from the explanations earlier, I want to ask you, which social group is it? Here, there is a BTS Korean idol group that is ranking on the stage. Then there is a KOSIDAHAN group that is showing up.

There are also groups of people who are participating in the discount for Hits shoes. Then there is also a group and a club of Arsenal football. Which one do you think? Which one is included in the group and the social group? I'm waiting.

Well, the group that is included is the group of people who followed the sale of the Hitz shoes. They are not included in the social group because they just happened to gather to look for discounts. There is no connection and no interaction between them. These people only have the same purpose, namely to buy Hitz shoes. They don't know each other.

But if they suddenly start to talk and make a community of lovers of hits shoes, have goals together, have events together, well, they can turn into a social group. For BTS, the KOSIDA group, the White Eyed and Club Arsenal group,

This includes social groups, because they have relationships, they interact with each other, and they realize that they are part of their group and the group also admits that they are their members. This social group should have at least two members. Yes, because if you're alone, your name is "Jomblo".

Well, if the social group consists of only two members who interact and influence each other, this is called a diet. Because it's only two people, the interaction is more intense, more intimate, and focused on both members. For example, like this wedding couple, both of them, right?

Then besides diat, there are also groups that have three members, which are called triad. For example, these three best friends forever, or BFF, right? Usually you call it. Well, they also have close internal relationships, although not as close as diat. Now, diat and triad are a small group, but they have different movements or dynamics.

Because the diet is only two people, if one of the members decides to separate and leave the group, the diet will be ruined. Almost. But in triad, because they are three, when one person leaves this group, the other two can continue to walk. Well, they can change to the diet earlier.

From here, we can see that if there are more members in a group, then the possibility of the relationship will increase. But the more members there are, the less close and intimate the members will be. Because there are so many members.

Usually, groups with more than three members tend to be more formal, like political parties. In this political party, they have a relationship, they interact, but the relationship tends to be formal, right? Even until there is a hierarchy, like there is a chairman, there is a deputy, there is a head of the department, and so on.

Speaking of politics, political parties are formed into a social group because they have the same purpose. They have the same interests to voice the voice of the people, for example. Well, this same interest is one of the factors that form a social group. Then, another factor that forms a social group is the existence of blood ties or descendants. For example, the Javanese descendants.

Minang family and Manado family. They are in a group because they have a blood relationship or a relationship. In addition, there are also people who are in a group based on the same region and area. This region and area can be a factor in forming a social group because the members have a sense of community because they live in the same environment. Like for example this.

If you, for example, have received a degree abroad, right? Hmm, amen, right? Well, you're there, right? You're alone, far from your family, and instead of being lost on weekends, you'd better join the Indonesian Student Union in that area, right? So you have an activity to get rid of your longing for Indonesia and feel like there are siblings in the land of the fight.

Okay, guys, in this video we have learned about the formation of social groups. Starting from understanding groups and social groups. So, a group is a group of people in a place. While this social group is a group of people who have the same awareness about members and interact with each other. Then,

There are several conditions and characteristics of social groups according to experts. And we have also learned about the examples of social groups, how the process of forming a social group is, and what are the factors that form a social group. So there are the same interests, there are blood ties or descendants, and there are also the same areas or regions.
