An in group is a group that you strongly identify with while an outgroup on the other hand, is a group in which you do not. I found it interesting how specific the dichotomy is between groups that creates the “us and them” as stated on page 142. Small cultural differences like the way they dress, what they eat, or even hobbies can create different ingroups. Is it possible for an individual to be a part of multiple ingroups if their characteristics fit into the basis of those ingroups?<\/p>\n
It is interesting how intergroup boundaries are also specific. For example, the way cultures view each others eating habits and how they use utensils creates an intergroup boundary. Another boundary I found interesting is for example, when Americans who know Japanese try to converse with Japanese in their language to make them feel more comfortable when in reality, it is intolerable. Overall, I think that this article dives into many examples of ingroups and classifications within ingroups that were interesting but also contains a lot of information that makes it difficult to digest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
