A group of people who share collective values, norms, beliefs and goals constitutes a community. The goal of which is to live in harmony and stability.

People, family, cultures, demography, values and belives,context and background,sharing something in common,(goals and experince) constitute a community

2026-02-20 11:30:20 UTC

Formal and informal , centralized and decentralized

2026-02-20 11:31:44 UTC

People with shared idea,identity,social interaction,mutual dependence, common norms and values.

A feeling of belonging and acceptance. A community shares values, interests and attitudes through interaction.

2026-02-20 11:32:52 UTC

2026-02-20 11:34:42 UTC

Not necessarily, can criticised

A community is a group of people who share something meaningful in common and interact with one another in an ongoing way.

2026-02-20 11:34:47 UTC

Not everytime , its depend on desires, goals and context

2026-02-20 11:35:29 UTC

2026-02-20 11:35:38 UTC

The community has common interests. It needs to reach a consensus.

2026-02-20 11:35:44 UTC

Through mutual recognition (which can be formal or informal).

Combination of rules, power and participation.

2026-02-20 11:35:58 UTC

Consensus might not be entirely necessary for a community but it would help ensuring a collective way of making important decisions.

2026-02-20 11:36:05 UTC

Members in a community are there either by choice or unintentionally. A community can either accept or exclude a member.

2026-02-20 11:37:03 UTC

A community doesn’t mean everyone has to think equally (opinions can be differ but values and rules should be respected).

2026-02-20 11:37:30 UTC

Not always - some communities share extreme values that are intentionally exclusive

2026-02-20 11:38:21 UTC

Community only represent the interests of the majority of people.

No, as it may excludes people having differences, limit individual freedom, enforce unfair

2026-02-20 11:38:29 UTC

2026-02-20 11:39:12 UTC

It depends on the collective goals and rules that the community has. For example, radicalised or extremist communities would not have anything positive to bring to the world. So it wouldn't always be intrinsically positive.

2026-02-20 11:39:34 UTC

Not always positive because of exclusion, power and pressure to conform, power and inequality. On the other side, it provides support, identity and a sense belonging.

2026-02-20 11:40:27 UTC

Community always conflicts with individualisam, both has pros and cons. Conflicts between uniformity and diversity.

2026-02-20 11:40:55 UTC

Cultural differences

2026-02-20 11:42:22 UTC

The purpose of communities can evolve, positively and negatively and there’s a pressure to conform or risk segregation

2026-02-20 11:43:35 UTC

If the community share same ideas , compensate , having tolerance ,they will definitely be a contributing society and will progress while working together . So according to us , harmony , tolerance is prerequisite to creat a community

Yes — a community generally needs some level of consensus, but not total agreement on everything.

What is consensus?

Consensus means a shared understanding or general agreement among members about:

Values
Goals
Rules
Decisions

It does not mean everyone agrees 100%.

Membership in a community (or organisation) is usually operated through a structured system that defines who can join, what rights they have, and how they participate
