By coming together, they slowly move into an “in-group” rather than an “out-group” like they were before.

An example of this is when Regina isolates the members and states they can only talk to similar in-group members that she approves.

Why has Joan’s group become a part of the out-group of the organization while Tom’s group is a part of the in-group? In-groups and out-groups are based on how well the subordinates work with the leader and how well the leader works with the subordinates. Along with this, there is a social aspect to decide which group you will become a part of. Like, if you have more in common with the leader personality wise there is a much greater chance that you will be a part of the in-group. Also, the more the subordinate is involved in the organization and how willing they are to dedicating more time to the leaders goals, the subordinate is more likely to become a part of the in-group.
The film “The Breakfast Club” exemplifies group dynamic because at the start of the movie they don’t know each other and they think that the personalities are the same as the stereotype linked to their social group, but when they get to know each other the stereotypes go away and they realized that they are very similar. B y the end of the film everyone in the group figures out that they aren't that much different and they are all struggling with being misunderstood, so they realize that they were judging the other people in detention when they weren’t so different.

In S.E. Hinton’s story, The Outsiders, group identity is so important that sometimes people overshadow their own identity. In our generation it is kind of the same way to some people, for instance people sometimes act and dress differently around the popular kids to fit in. While at home they do their normal routine and stay true to themselves. This is so important to the story for many reasons. It is also really important to kids this age in 2017.
Kurt Lewin’s major contribution lies in the field of Group Dynamics, Field Theory and Action Research. He modelled the social change process in organisational, particularly, industrial setups. 1. Group Dynamics: - Lewin’s definition of a group is widely accepted. Here the basic line of argument is that groups come into being in a psychological sense ‘not because their members necessarily are similar to one another (although they may be); rather, a group exists when people in it realize their fate depends on the fate of the group as a whole’
