Question

Can you give examples of social groups? Are big businesses an example of a social group?

Answer 1

Examples of social groups are friends that get together and socialize on a regular basis, and (as Krista hinted at) groups of people who get together on a regular basis and have a common interest in a specific activity or hobby.  I wouldn't say a big business is an example of a social group, but often within a big business there are sub-sets of co-workers who know each other and chat on a regular basis; these subsets of co-workers could be considered social groups.

Answer 2

Social groups are about a particular topic which some people find interesting. For instance, fashion, sport, pets, etc. Big bussiness is not a social concept.

Answer 3

Usually social groups are groups that have an interest in a common thing.

It's not usually business, unless your whole social life is with your business I guess.
