Q. 1] Are you member of any group?

Q. 2] Do you practice groupism? 

How many of you nodded for 1 and negated for 2?

Group and Groupism

‘Group’ carries positive vibes.

A slice of humanity held together by free will and voluntary minds. A hobby, a favorite filmstar, a sport, a belief, a profession can unite us.

It is a survival tactic. We are social animals. We love to cluster, co-operate and collaborate in herds aka groups.

‘Groupism’ , on the other hand, carries negative connotations. It is a method to isolate and alienate.  

Us vs Them.

What happens when we are kicked out? Snubbed? Ostracized by society?
