Abstract
The tendency of people to separate themselves into groups is well known and well studied. Social scientists of all persuasions analyze the manner by which groups are formed and the ramifications of these formations. Geographers examine these groups over the landscape, attempting to understand the spatial distribution of groups, the processes by which distributions occur, and why such group formation is significant.
