Adrian and Santiago were once part of a student event committee, which was also a secondary group because the focus was organizing events, not personal bonding. Valeria worked at a part-time job where the status of each employee (e.g., manager vs. cashier) clearly shaped their role and responsibilities. These experiences showed us how group structure and leadership style affect the outcome and harmony of any organization.

In-group:

In The Republic, the three of us—Adrián, Santiago, and Valeria—form an in-group because we share a strong sense of identity and purpose. We work closely together to run the café, make decisions as a team, and rely on each other to keep things going. Our shared experiences and goals create a bond that separates us from others.

Out-group:

Students who visit the café or hang around nearby but aren’t part of our team are part of the out-group. They may be friendly or supportive, but they don’t participate in the behind-the-scenes work, like planning the menu, managing supplies, or dealing with customer service. They don’t share our responsibilities, decision-making power, or team identity, which makes their role very different from ours.
