1. Explain how communication creates and maintains a group through the process of
structuration.
Structuration entails coming up with rules, norms and regulations to maintain the group
structure. Communication in the group is essential since members can formulate tasks and
procedures through a mutual decision making. Through communication, members tend to
think the same and can mutually agree since they influence each other. Groupthink also set
in, and members conform to group roles. Through communication, members bring and share
their experiences from the outside groups they were before joining the current one. Most of
them leave their old group's norms and conform to the new rules. Through communication,
changes are seen in the group since new rules keep recreating the group again (pg 86).
