Siting in the school cafeteria you notice the different groups of students sitting together. Which group would you think might be characterized as a clique?
One group that might be characterized as a clique is a group of students who all share similar interests, fashion styles, or social statuses. They may be exclusive and only allow certain individuals to join their group, creating a sense of elitism. They may also engage in gossip or rumors about others outside of their group.
