"We all hold different statuses among society. Within these statuses we have certain social roles that are expected of us. We form groups to assist our social interactions. These groups can be small and intimate like the primary groups. On the other hand, these groups can be formal and large like the secondary groups. Regardless of the situation, these elements of the social structure guide us through our social interactions and determine how successful we are in society".
