The Intergroup System

The Intergroup System is a framework that organizes social groups based on shared characteristics such as ethnicity, race, religion, or nationality. It helps explain how groups form identities, interact, and sometimes experience conflicts or cooperation within a broader society. By analyzing these groupings, the system sheds light on social dynamics, power relationships, and issues of inclusion or exclusion. Essentially, it provides a structured way to understand how people relate to each other based on group memberships, influencing social cohesion and societal structures.
