Answer and Explanation:

A primary group to which I belong is the Christian community in my neighborhood. We can be considered a primary group, because all members have direct contact with each other, possessing a high degree of intimacy. This group has status that must be achieved through greater participation in the activities of the congregation. I do not have this status because I am recently participating in the events promoted by this group. I do not have a specific role in the group and I maintain print management, stimulating the knowledge of members before making decisions about them.

The secondary group to which I belong is the group of residents of my condominium. We are a secondary group because we have little contact with each other, in addition, this contact does not present intimacies and is made in a very shallow and formal way. I have no status in that group, which must be achieved. I also have no function. It was already possible to witness the tension and conflict of roles in this group, in condominium meetings. The role tension is related to the difficulty in fulfilling the role that an individual is responsible, within the group. Whereas role conflict occurs when the roles that a person has contradict and clash.

My family and childhood friends are two in-groups to which I belong. My neighborhood and political groups in my city are examples of out-groups to which I participate. They stimulate my view of belonging, showing what are the subjects and activities that make me comfortable and happy to participate. It makes me know myself better and understand what I can do well and what I can't.

The media encourages the roles and participation of each member of the groups to which I participate. This is because all these groups must adapt to the changes that are happening in the world and that are related to changes in the lives of all members and social interactions.

I believe that primary groups can be formed by people who do not know each other if the bond that unites them is tightened and if they develop strong contact and intimidation with each other.
