This is cause for concern to some sociologists because individuals who identify themselves through personal characteristics might care less about the common good.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Sociologists deal with the study of social interaction, human behavior and culture. The personal characteristics of the person can be defined through their personal qualities. Behavior, emotions, dependability are some of the factors that help in determining the personality of the person.

Sociologist Duncan Watts says that the individuals changes their minds about their decisions based on the opinions of friends and acquaintances. This is also known as peer pressure in which ideas of individuals in a group are influenced by other members in the group.
