I’m trying to compare processes and premises that are equivalent between macro sociology and micro sociology level. Especially majority against minority and how majorities can force ideas upon the minority. Be it a work team or in society. Any ideas on where to find relevant info? Should I read about power?

I'm not sure what you mean by processes and premises that are equivalent between macro and micro. When you are thinking about majority versus minority at the micro level many examples come to mind including groupthink (Janis) and the Solomon Ash experiments. In both cases, the minority felt compelled to agree with what they perceived to be the majority's perception even when they knew that the majority was incorrect or when they doubted the majority's position. Perhaps something similar was experienced by some of the participants in the January 6 insurrection activities whereby individual participants may not have agreed with the collective action of the violent mob but felt compelled to continue on with the majority in spite of the mayhem that ensued once they were in the middle of it; that would be more of a macro level event. It is also interesting that you mentioned power because the sociological definition of a minority group does not necessarily refer to smaller numbers. Instead, the minority is smaller in power. In these cases, the majority might be more plainly called the dominant group. For example, women in the United States are the numeric majority, that is there are more women than men, but they have historically been a minority with regard to power and wealth, and prestige. Another example: in the nation of South Africa during apartheid, Blacks were the numeric majority representing around 90% of the population but whites representing only 10% of the population were the majority in terms of wealth, power, and prestige. In the classic sense, if the group or groups that are the numeric majority have more power as a result of their numbers, they can certainly control the lives of groups that are a minority in number by creating social definitions, laws, and other norms to which the minority must acquiesce or suffer sanctions.

@@DavidStrickland-collegesuccess Good point regarding dominance and power structures. What I mean by premises and processes is, that there must be some stuff that are equal in both in terms of majority controlling the minority. The democratic dialog for instance. If a country experiences few people who have different ideas, they will be shut down. If in a working environment 1 employee out of 10 means something different, that person will be shut down and has to follow the rest. The same principle just two different scales. I need to be able to connect that these are pretty much the same and is just a matter of the general amount of people. Millions or 10-20. Majority control. There must be someone out there who have put this into words at sometime.

Hi. I find the definition of role strain here to be confusing. Being a working mother consists of two different status and roles. So what you described was role conflict. So maybe Role Strain with the example of the status of mother might have been the role expectation of home making and home schooling.

The second example (at 3:33 min) of role conflict with the statuses of "student" and "brother" and of role strain with the single status of "student" is a better fit than the working mother example.
