Critical thinking

Respond to each of the following questions with well-developed responses. Demonstrate your comprehension of the material.
How has technology changed your primary groups and secondary groups? Do you have more (and separate) primary groups due to online connectivity? Do you believe that someone, like Levy, can have a true primary group made up of people she has never met? Why, or why not? (Minimum 350 words.)
Compare and contrast two different political groups or organizations, such as the Occupy and Tea Party movements, or one of the Arab Spring uprisings. How do the groups differ in terms of leadership, membership, and activities? How do the groups goals influence participants? Are any of them in-groups (and have they created out-groups)? Explain your answer. (Minimum 350 words.)
The concept of hate crimes has been linked to in-groups and out-groups. Can you think of an example where people have been excluded or tormented due to this kind of group dynamic? (Minimum 250 words.)
