Proposition 008 – Groups and social circles

A group without a circle civilisation is not a social circle.

• Explanation. A group is a collection of individuals designated collectively for a particu­lar description, such as pupils, pensioners, recipients of a state pension, people waiting at a barrier, or the audience at a performance. Such a group does not automatically con­stitute a social circle. A social circle exists only when sufficient shared civilisation ele­ments are operative among the individuals concerned to constitute a circle civilisation.
