Is it true that all social groups go through three stages?

Question

the survival, inquiry and sophistication stages?

In your search for truth how have these stages been distinguished?

Answer 1

The key word is 'all'.

Most groups never make it through the survival stage. It's the toughest hurdle, even when the group is the result of some gathering of 'like' minds[they believe before they know one another]

But similar beliefs don't necessarily equate to sympathetic personalities. Particularly when the magnet that brought the group together is one alpha personalities are drawn to.

If some of the group gets through suvival, everyone begins to feel more at ease. They begin to find other facets of the members that weren't part of the initial motive in forming the group.

Eventually, I suppose that leads to what you've labelled the sophistication stage. It's when the intitial reason for forming the group begins to actually manifest.

Just my take on things.
