For this assignment, the group of people observed are college students pursuing different courses. A keen analysis of the behaviors of these individuals reveals that their behaviors are specifically social. When people are in certain social environments, they tend to show different degrees of bonding and aggression, based on the level of comfort that they feel towards those around them. It, therefore, becomes apparent that the feelings, behaviors, and thoughts of these college students were shaped by the implied, actual, and even imagined presence of their peers (Jiang, 2016).
