Compare and contrast common-bond groups and common-identity groups and give an example of each

What will be an ideal response?


Both common-bond groups and common-identity groups share the fact that they involve people who believe themselves to part of a coherent unit that they see as different from another group. However, they differ in important ways. Common-bond groups tend to involve face-to-face interaction among members, and the individuals in the group are bonded to each other. An example of a common-bond group would be the players on a sports team. Common-identity groups, on the other hand, contain members who are linked via the category as a whole rather than to each other, and face-to-face interaction is often absent. An example of a common-identity group would be all people who claim a particular country as their birthplace.
