Answer 1

These experiences are all characteristic of: a. Gesellschaft relationships.

Step-by-step explanation:

The term “Gesellschaft” was termed by a German sociologist Ferdinand Tonnies. This term was used to categorize the ties in the society.

Gesellschaft is a civil society in which the demands and needs of an individual are given more importance than the social association.

In the above scenario, Steve went to a grocery store and made his purchases. He noticed that his purchases were checked and bagged by two strangers. Then he moved to Wendy’s store and purchased a hamburger from another stranger. He also noticed an unknown police officer raised her hand on seeing him. On the whole he experienced Gesellschaft relationships.
