Please I need comment for the post bellow.

I will use the structure of the Army as a situation in describing  the in-group/out-group concept.  In the Army, it is broken down from Divisions all the way down fire teams.  I will be using examples of the fire team level up to the battalion level.

A fire team is a 4 Soldier unit that is 1 of 2 within a squad.  A squad is 1 of 4 9 Soldier units within a Platoon.  A platoon is 1 of 4 40 Soldier unit within a Company.  A Company is a 140ish Soldier unit within a Battalion. 

In my 17 year experience I have seen rivalries form from all levels and usually simultaneously.  The two fire teams within a squad, though all part of the same squad, will identify and keep separate from each other, especially when competitions and/or disciplinary topics arise.  At the same time, the 4 squads within a platoon will separate themselves from each other mentally and when possible physically and each squad feels they are better than the other three and will make sure they let the other squads know it.  Then, at the same time, the Platoon (same Soldiers who are competing within the platoon against each other and identifying separately, will in Unisom identify as the better Platoon than the other 3 within a company.  And thus is the same for Companies within the battalion.  Thus one Soldier can be part of at least 4 in-groups and also suffer being in at least 4 out-groups during his time with a particular unit. 

I have always found this very interesting and you see this everywhere.  In schools, in-groups form within itself.  Sports vs. academics, football vs. soccer students, nerds, vs. jocks, freshman vs. sophomores, ETC.  But what is interesting is that they will all unify in their belief that they, as a school are better than the school 10 miles down the road.  Business, religion, geography all have the same in-group/out-group concepts.  I guess it is human nature to self-associate yourself within social groups throughout your entire life.
