DEFINITION (2): “A group consists of two or more people who are bound together in relatively stable patterns of social interaction and who share a feeling of unity. Groups are not tangible things; rather, they are products of social definitions - sets of shared ideas. As such they constitute constructed realities. In other words, we make groups real by treating them as if they are real […] We fabricate groups in the course of our social interaction as we cluster people together in social units: families, teams, cliques, nationalities, races, labor unions, fraternities, clubs, corporations, and the like. In turn we act on the basis of these shared mental fabrications, creating an existence beyond the individuals who are involved.” (Hughes and Kroehler 2009: 97-98).
