Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Suzanne and her group of friends at the gym share a common interest in bodybuilding, which sets them apart from the general population, making them a subculture. They also have a sense of belonging and involvement in social activities, which are typical traits of a subculture. A triad is a group of three people, and a secondary group refers to a group that is larger and less personal than a primary group. A counterculture is a group whose values and beliefs go against the dominant culture, which does not apply in this scenario.
