	Social Context
		I think the key social stressor here isn't so much manifest between arbitrary member of functioning game group A and arbitrary member of functioning game group B, but between a member of a functioning game group and an otherwise self-identified gamer who, for whatever reason, is groupless.
		The social fabric of gaming is warped by the inhabitants' constant need for a new fix, and I'd go so far as to say, personal insecurities causing them to interpret the absence of the near term possibility of gaming together as an esteem-damaging message that the other person doesn't like them.
		Socializing outside of game is more common, but conversation tends towards the game when their are no non-gaming-group members present; not because we have nothing else to talk about, but because the game holds a lot of our interest.

	MANY FACES: Chap. 7 Social Psychology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Social psychology cannot hope to provide all the answers to problems that have strong historical and economic roots, but it has a part to play in helping us understand and shape our world, especially where issues of self, identity, and social interaction play a major role.
		Social psychological research has been traditionally divided into three general topic areas, based on whether the emphasis is on the factors internal to the individual or broader social processes.
		Social identity is conceptualized as that part of the person's self definition relating to their membership of a social group (or groups), along with the value and emotional significance that entails (Tajfel, 1978).

		It is a grave social problem that threatens the safety, equality and bodily integrity of every woman.
		The social stigma and silence that has historically surrounded the physical, sexual and mental abuse of women is an effective tool in trapping women in a violent relationship.
		At one level we "disapprove" of the idea of violence within the family, but "disapproval" is far removed from condemnation and the imposition of social and criminal sanctions on the man for his behaviour, or offering the woman options to leave.

	New Technology: Social context (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		To be able to estimate the role of new technology in non-formal adult education there has to be a view of some social changes which influence both the new technology and the organisations for adult education and their public.

		Great emphasis is laid on the topic of social cohesion and the positive and negative consequences of an increased use of information and communication technology on long-term unemployment and deprived social groups.

		Some commentators have referred to a crisis of values and lack of social consensus that was reinforced by mistrust of official structures and institutions and reflected in intergenerational tensions.

	G.W.F. Hegel -- Social and Political Thought [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		There are important connections between the metaphysical or speculative articulation of these ideas and their application to social and political reality, and one could say that the full meaning of these ideas can be grasped only with a comprehension of their social and historical embodiment.

	Many-to-Many: Network Influence Matters
		This coexistence of opinions within a social network is in agreement with the often observed locality effect, in which an opinion or a fad is localized to given groups without infecting the whole society.
		This also explains the fragility phenomenon, whereby an opinion that seems to be held by a rather large group of people can become nearly extinct in a very short time, a mechanism that is at the heart of fads.
		When I think of social network interaction I think of multiple feedback loops - for instance, perhaps people with status help determine what the markers of status will be in the near future.
