According to Marshall Singer (1998), the term identity group refers to groups that have cultures or in other words, a group of people who perceive some aspects of the world in a similar way, which makes the individuals in a specific group culturally unique. Provide your own answers to the following questions.

How many different identity groups do you belong to? List three groups which you think are especially important for you.
Choose the one group that you feel is most influential on your attitudes and behavior and then discuss this group using the following points:
basic social and/or cultural values
social structure
communication style
rules for social interaction
Describe your role in this group as well as why your role is important in your own life and to others in this group.
