Hello, I'm Sam Smith.

This podcast covers sociological groups.

I'm going to go over quite a few different topics within groups.

And this is going to include talking about the different types of sociological groups.

I'm going to talk about organizations and a little bit about bureaucracy.

I will talk about interactions between groups.

I'll answer some questions like, you know, what makes a group stable? What is the free rider effect? And how does that apply to medicine? And then I'll talk about groups applied to culture.

And I'll give you guys a lot of different examples of when I bring up a term and define it.

I hope that helps these concepts stick with you after you listen.

And this material will show up on one of the sections, and that is the psych-soc section of the MCAT.

And inside the psych-soc, this is probably one of the highest yield subjects, if not the highest yield subject.

So enjoy, and I hope it helps.
