Answer:

Based on sociologist Ferdinand Tönnies’ perspective, most people in Gesellschaft societies are "strangers" who perceive that they have very little in common with most people.

Explanation:

German sociologist Ferdinand Tönnies introduced the concepts of Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft in 1887. The two words mean, respectively, "community" and "society". Gesellschaft refers to a type of society organized around large organizations, and industry. It is more modern, but also more impersonal. Communications don't always take place personally; relationships are characterized by formality and observance of values. They are also driven by political, economic, and self-interests.
