Consider a crowd of people waiting in line to buy a ticket to a concert.Explain what kind of social group they represent in sociological terms.

The crowd of people waiting in line to buy a ticket to a concert represents a temporary or situational social group in sociological terms. This type of social group is formed based on a specific situation or context, in this case, the shared goal of purchasing tickets for the concert. The individuals in this group may not have any prior or ongoing social relationships with each other, but they come together temporarily to achieve a common objective. Once the purpose is fulfilled, the group dissolves and the individuals go back to their regular social circles. Temporary social groups like this are common in various social settings, such as lines at a store, waiting rooms, or other situations where people come together for a specific purpose.
