In a survival situation, there is typically a set of people or one person who is in charge and makes a lot of decisions. Our class experiment was no different; the people who knew they would be saved controlled many actions. But there was also the aspect of microsociology that had to do more with the actual people in our class than their charcter's roles. Jeff, who was castes as the old woman, should have certainly been one of the first voted off and Sal's stats, that reflect macrosociological decisions, would agree. But why was Jeff one of the people saved then? Microsociology was at play since Jeff is the baskeball player who's going to be louder than everyone and try and take charge and keep himself on the boat regardless of his character's described uselessness.
You could say that an example of microsoc in my life would be they way I text different people. I'm more likely to tell my best friend something sarcastic and obnoxious than to my girlfriend. It's a simple difference in the way I act around different people. You could look at how I act in different classes as well. Say, in my math class I'm louder and more talkative, I know that in my geometry class sophomore year, people viewed as "that obnoxious smart kid" b/c I talked so much instead of truly paying attention. But if you compare that to who I am in English class, much more quiet and more of a listener, you can see microsoc at work.
