These sub-points are essential in understanding how individuals form social groups and how these

groups function and evolve. Here's how each contributes:

1. Economic Systems for Allocating Scarce Resources

Role: Economic systems determine how resources are distributed, which directly influences social
structures and group formation. For instance, people often group based on economic status, with
common economic interests fostering group cohesion.

Example: Workers in a capitalist economy might form labour unions to advocate for fair resource
distribution.

2. 4 Economic Systems (Slavery, Feudalism, Capitalism, Communism)

Role: Each economic system has distinct social hierarchies and power dynamics that shape group
identities. These systems influence who has access to resources and opportunities, affecting how social
groups form and interact.

Example: In a feudal system, social groups are often defined by land ownership, with nobles and serfs
occupying distinct social positions.

3. Equality and Equity

Role: The pursuit of equality and equity influences social cohesion and group identity. Groups often form
around shared goals of achieving fairness in society, which can drive social movements and policy
changes.

Example: Civil rights movements are social groups formed to promote equality and equity across
different racial, gender, or socioeconomic lines.

4. The Future of the Workplace and Automation

Role: Changes in the workplace, especially due to automation, can lead to the formation of new social
groups. These changes may disrupt traditional job markets, leading individuals to form groups based on
new economic realities and skills…………………………………….

Example: Workers displaced by automation may form support or advocacy groups to seek new
employment opportunities or push for policy changes.

5. Norms and Values

Role: Shared norms and values are the foundation of social groups. They provide a sense of identity and
belonging, guiding behavior and expectations within the group.

Example: Religious groups often form around shared values and norms, reinforcing the group's identity
and social cohesion.

6. Culture
Role: Culture shapes the practices, beliefs, and behaviors of social groups. It influences how individuals
see themselves and others, fostering group identity and continuity over time.

Example: Ethnic communities maintain distinct cultural traditions that strengthen their social bonds and
group identity.

7. Cultural Diffusion

Role: Cultural diffusion involves the spread of cultural elements from one group to another, which can
lead to the blending of cultures or the formation of new social groups.

Example: Immigrant communities often blend their cultural practices with those of their new
environment, creating hybrid social groups.

8. Role of Social Media in Shaping Society

Role: Social media platforms facilitate the formation of virtual social groups, enabling individuals to
connect based on shared interests, values, or causes, regardless of geographical boundaries.

Example: Online communities, such as those formed around social justice issues, can mobilize real-world
actions and shape societal norms.

societal and environmental performance provides pathways on what works and what does not.

effectiveness contributes to improving characteristic and usage by users.
