What Makes a Community?


There are many ways to define communities. Communities could be a group of people living in the same area. It could mean a group of people with the same likes or dislikes, also a group of people with the same political interest.   Demographics could help create a community. A group of wealthy people could be considered a community. Same with a group of middle class people. People in poverty could also be considered a community.

The area I live in is considered a community. If I hung out with a group of people that have the same interest as me could be considered a community. Group projects could be considered a temporary community. 
There are even online communities. Online communities are considered social networks.  Facebook is a social network that could be considered a social network.  Myspace could also be considered a community.  Any social network could be considered as an online community. We can define communities in many different ways.

If the world had no rules or laws, there would be no communities because people would not live where they are now.  They would be living where they want to live and doing what they want to do because there is nobody stopping them.
