Sociology as a discipline can teach an individual how to look at oneself ‘from the outside’. With which concept can this statement be associated?

Answer 1

Step 1: Separate "groups within community" from "what defines community":
Primary group, family and marriage are institutions that exist inside a community, but none of them IS the defining feature of community itself.
