is concerned with primary relationships and other conceptions of whole human beings, whereby gessellschaft emphasizes impersonality.

while notions of Gemeinshaft have characteristicallty dwelt on primary relationships and other conceptions of whole human beings, Gesellschaft with its emphasis on impersonality may with time have become increasingly a blurred composite of secondary, tertiary, and quaternary relationships' (Hannerz 1996:96).
