Abstract from DBPedia	In the social sciences, a social group can be defined as two or more people who interact with one another, share similar characteristics, and collectively have a sense of unity. Regardless, social groups come in a myriad of sizes and varieties. For example, a society can be viewed as a large social group. The system of behaviors and psychological processes occurring within a social group or between social groups is known as group dynamics. 社会集団（しゃかいしゅうだん、英: social group、独: Soziale Gruppe）は、人間において、相互行為や相互関係に規則性と持続性が見られる集団を指す。血縁関係に基づく家族、同一言語の使用に基づく民族がこれに当たる。また、公衆・群衆などのもこれに含まれる。拉致問題や離散家族の問題を持ち出す以前にも、家族の紐帯は日常的に考えても固いが、東ドイツが社会主義を放棄した途端、ドイツ統一が実現するなど、民族の紐帯も固い。人類だけでなく、チンパンジーにもかかわらずおなじ家族・民族に相当する社会集団が存在することが確認されている。 (Source: http://dbpedia.org/resource/Social_group)
