Paragraph 7：Third, primary groups are fundamental because they serve as
powerful instruments for social control. Their members command and dispense
many of the rewards that are so vital to us and that make our lives seem
worthwhile. Should the use of rewards fail, members can frequently win by
rejecting or threatening to ostracize those who deviate from the primary
group's norms. For instance, some social groups employ shunning (a person can
remain in the community, but others are forbidden to interact with the
person) as a device to bring into line individuals whose behavior goes beyond
that allowed by the particular group. Even more important, primary groups
define social reality for us by structuring our experiences. By providing us
with definitions of situations, they elicit from us behavior that conforms to
group-devised meanings. Primary groups, then, serve both as carriers of
social norms and as enforcers of them.
11. According to paragraph 7, why would a social group use shunning?
○ To enforce practice of the kinds of behavior acceptable to the group
○ To discourage offending individuals from remaining in the group
○ To commend and reward the behavior of the other members of the group
○ To decide which behavioral norms should be passed on to the next
generation?
