Hi Svayamm! Looking over the In-group favoritism article, I think it would be neat to see a section on the extreme cultural/societal dangers that can arise from in-group behavior and attitudes. There are some pretty radical groups from history (and many that sadly live on today) that really highlight negative consequences that can occur from this mindset. Anything from bullying in schools to the KKK illustrate how people view the world from an in-group perspective. I think choosing one or two examples of this and connecting them to the social psychology concepts could really show how these concepts can play out in the real world. I hope this helps!

Hi! I thought the article was pretty good overall. Here's a list of a few things that could be improved: -First sentence should define in/out-groups briefly -Could the first section become a subsection of the second section? -Try to avoid language like 'not surprisingly' since it might show bias/informal speech -Might be helpful to include real-world examples (ex. Nazism) that have been academically studied Nilabanerjee (talk) 02:45, 27 November 2016 (UTC)Nila.Reply
