Entitavity In Social Work

Introduction: A group that I belonged to in terms of entitavity would be a group of individuals that I worked with at a Dentist office. The dentist office consisted of clericals, receptionists, billing clerks, dentists, hygienists, office manager, and orthodontists. (Entitavity) is a group of individuals that are perceived as a social group based on the combination of its features.

(Equality Norm) all group members, irrespective of their input should be given an equal share of the good. When the manager gives work to each of us she divides the work where we all get equal amount of work.

If there was any conflicts it was due to disagreeing on an issue which it was something that had to do with the tasks that each of us are working on. Due to that occurring it would result in (Substantive conflict) disagreements over issues that are relevant to the group’s recognized goals. If there were any conflicts to occur within the group I would definitely say that cooperating and communicating with another is something that can definitely help resolve the
