Popular/Unpopular (*condensed version*): It usually only important in small groups of people, cliques in middle school (groups of 3 or more) and among closed communities whose admission requirements are up to the whim of the members and subject to judgement by the group. Attempting to ''be popular'' in a particular closed community can be a tricky manuver, because the rest of the group is always asking, ''Is she coming in? or is he on his way out?''. Few cliques survive middle/high school and most people abandon the model, although among isolated communities it can still be consider important.
