COMMUNITY

A community is a social group that share many of the same characteristics. A community might be under a single government. They may practice similar religions. They are all on the same technological level. In more general terms, it's just a group of people who share the same ideas, interests or beliefs. They all are working towards the same goal or place. Everyone shares resources and ideas, which can lead to new advances or ideas among others in the same community. All of these ideas and beliefs are different compared to everyone outside of their community; those aspects are mostly only in the community, but not necessarily the larger society which the community exists within. Online, community can be brought up or organized through many sites such as Facebook. Groups are created and easily found. Material and other content, like on YouTube or Twitter, can be tagged so people can search an interest and find relevant material. Online communities are not necessarily like in-person communities that focus on government or religion, although they can be; they usually focus on a similar hobby or interest. If you use a search engine looking for an interest, you might come across blogs or other user-content that is relevant and interesting.
