Question

Cody is a member of the L.A. Crips. The other gangs in his territory are the Bloods and Satan's Slaves. Cody feels very antagonistic towards the Bloods and the Slaves. For Cody, what type of group do these two rival gangs represent?

Answer 1

Out-groups

Step-by-step explanation:

• An outgroup is defined as a social group in which a person cannot identify him/herself.
• Due to the inability of a person to identify with a certain outgroup, a person usually has a negative and derogatory opinion towards the outgroup.
• In the given situation, Cody is a member of L.A. crips and is thus able to identify himself with the given group, however, he is antagonistic towards the Bloods and the Slaves and this antagonistic behavior shows that these two represent the outgroups.
