introduction

Greetings everyone it's a very great pleasure to be able to write once again in this wonderful community and a very big thank you to @udylicious for this wonderful class on group behavior.
Every community or society is made up of different groups which each and everyone of us is part of and we should know the certain behaviours which our various groups should not engage in for the welfare of the people at large.
Today having learnt alot from this class i would also like to air my own views and also attempt the assignment given through the knowledge I gathered from the class.

question no1

Define a group in your words.

what is a group?

A group can simply be defined /referred to as a number of people or persons who have similar ideas,visions,goals,etc and have agreed to come together and work towards achieving their specified goal be it religious, political,etc.
Before I go on I would also like to define the word 'behaviour'

what is behavior?

This simply means the way in which someone/something acts.
With all these above,I would now proceed to defining the term 'group behavior'

question no2

What is group behaviour?

Source
Group behavior can be seen as the laid down strategy/methods,which a certain number of people known as a group have mapped out for the achievement of their desired goals.

question no3

Mention and explain the two types of group behavior
The two types of group behaviours include:

1. positive group behavior
2. Negative group behavior

positive group behavior

Source
Positive group behavior also known as constructive group behavior refers to the actions taken or better still the behaviours of a group of people which is aimed at achieving their desired goals in a peaceful manner that wouldn't have to endanger the peaceful life of the masses.

Negative group behavior

Source
Simply refers to those antisocial behaviours carried out by a group of people which is generally unacceptable by the society and it poses a threat to the wellbeing of the people and as such is against the expectations and norms of the people.

question no5

List and explain five characteristics of group behavior that you know

Characteristics of group behaviour includes:
1)size - size is a major characteristic of a group as it requires two or more people to form a group.

2)Goals- No group can ever be formed without a goal. Before anyone/people think it coming together as one body to form a group, there must be something that they have agreed on as their goal that the want to achieve which brought about the formation of that group.

3)Norms - Every group has its own norms. This is to guide them on the dos and donuts of the groups. This norms guide the group members on their interaction with each other.

4)structure - as everything on earth has its structure,a group is not an exemption as it also has roles and positions held and handled by different members.This makes up the structure of that particular group.

5)Roles - Every group has different roles which are assigned to different members by the group leader and they ought to be carried out effectively.

With all this said I think I have exhausted what I have for today on this particular topic and I hope I have been able to provide relevant answers to the assignment questions.
Thanks and God bless as you read.
