What will be an ideal response?
An in-group represents a special class of membership group characterized by a potent internal cohesiveness among its members and a sometimes intense hostility toward out-groups.
An out-group, on the other hand, is a group whose attributes are dissimilar from those of the in-group, or that opposes the accomplishment of the in-group’s goals. In order to be classified as an out-group, the group must be perceived as threatening in some way to the in-group and be relatively stable, impenetrable, and dissimilar. Persons can be perceived as in-group members in one context and out-group members in another.
