Question:
Which type of group is joined by an individual by choice?
Options:
Primary group
Secondary group
Both 1 and 2
None of the above
Correct Answer:
Secondary group
Explanation:
Secondary groups are formed through individual choices. Unlike primary groups, which are pre-existing formations, individuals willingly join secondary groups. Political parties, professional organizations, and social clubs are examples of secondary groups. In secondary groups, relationships among members are more impersonal and less frequent compared to primary groups.
