Berger: Sociological Analysis
Berger explains that psychology deals primarily with the individual psyche while sociology deals with the patterns of social life. How can the difference and/or overlap between a sociological perspective and a psychological perspective be related to Gilroy's concepts of an individual identity and communal identity?

What would be some real life or media examples of this theory? What type of difference might result in this fragility?
