On top of that, I am so familiar with this subject, I had a real tough time getting its the core and explain it best. Marx Well kiddos, today's subject is about group membership and labels. Personally, I think we should attempt to rise above such crutches to protect those who are hurt by the side effects, but groups are so comforting and helpful that I doubt that will ever happen. Social interaction is so necessary, that individuals can go insane if left in isolation. Somewhere along the line in their search for social fulfillment, people begin to identify with social groups, or adopt their labels.
Groups serve many purposes.
They help to make life simpler by breaking the mass of humanity into categories that are easier to handle. When you are a part of a group, it helps to give you a sense of identity. Group associations or labels are vital to an individual's sense of identity. So you will generally believe that your group is good. But this belief has consequences.
