Ingroups and Outgroups

This week in class we talked about ingroups and outgroups.  Ingroups are the groups that you are a part of and outgroups are the groups that you aren't a part of.  In the movie "A Bronx Tale" C is a part of many different ingroups.  He is a part of the gang, his family, the other italians and also his friends from when he was little.  One outgroup that C isn't a part of is the black people from the other neighborhood.  These different groups clash because they don't have any common ground.  The father of C didn't like his gang ingroup.  In my life I have many different ingroups.  I am part of a soccer team, a basketball team, a family, a church and a group of friends.  Ingroups and outgroups are an important part of who you are because they help to shape you based on the influence they have over you.  I think that "A Bronx Tale" was a great movie to watch in order to learn about ingroups and outgroups.
