Online vs offline group; Social media group

  • In Chapter Two, Lindgren argues that the social is distinguished by systems of rules and resources that are
    constantly reproduced, negotiated and shifting. Choose a group on a social media site (Facebook group,
    Instagram hashtag, WeChat group, Twitter hashtag, Discord server, YouTube channel etc) and compare this
    social group with a similar, related offline social group (university club, church group, sports team, etc.). What
    rules and resources are in play in these groups? How are online and offline different, and how are they
    related? Are traditional (offline) rules of social group formation at work in online social networks too?
