Groups also differ in duration, ranging from short-lived ones such as committees to long-lasting religious groups. Some groups are highly organized, such as the army or police, while others, like spectators at a match, are informally organized. Individuals can belong to different types of groups, including primary and secondary groups, formal and informal groups, and ingroups and outgroups.
