Crowd

A primary group is a small social group whose members share personal and lasting relationships. Primary groups are characterized by close, intimate, long-term relationships and strong emotional ties.

1. Family is considered a primary group as it consists of close relatives who maintain long-lasting relationships and provide emotional support.

2. Peer Group is also a primary group as it consists of individuals of similar age, social status, or interests, who build close friendships and influence each other's behaviors and beliefs.

3. Neighbourhood can be considered a primary group since it consists of people living in close proximity who may develop close relationships and share a sense of community.

4. Crowd, however, is not a primary group. A crowd is a large, temporary, and loosely organized group of people who come together for a specific purpose or event. The relationships in a crowd are usually short-term and superficial, lacking the strong emotional ties and lasting bonds that characterize primary groups.
