The Essence Of Community Building

By Elinor Tran


Humanity thrives in a culture where joy, sorrow or emotions permeate between friends, family and neighbors. People share such feelings liberally. Invariably, such sense of attachment gives rise to communities where each person belongs. The presence of online connectivity across the borders has significantly contributed to community building.

A society refers to a group of people living in the same geographical location. Members of such communities follow some social norms and values. It follows therefore that there are so many communities in the world separated by cultures, languages, or geographical locations. Today, the internet has revolutionized the world and has brought societies together into one global culture.

The peace and progress of any civilization depends on the sense of community that is in every heart of its members. The relationships of the members of the society, their collaboration and division of work are key factors that generate peaceful coexistence. Such a society is united, harmonized and in accord. Nationalism and worldwide integration is nurtured from these strong feelings of the public as a whole.

A feeling of closeness lies in every heart of every person. This springs from the care and dependency factor among people. Since childhood, we have lived in an environment where taking care of others is prominent be it family members, relatives or friends. This creates a need of closeness that helps in community building. The social media over the internet has profusely achieved this on global scale.

The emergency of the internet has made it possible to share information, ideas and knowledge on any subject on a worldwide scope. However, specialization is necessary for any rational and functional public. In the current economies, societies specialize in doing what they are best at performing. This division and sharing of work creates dependency and interaction among communities at various levels. Such network creates a civilization without which life would prove very challenging.

The principle of cooperation forms the basis of community building. The idea of support that is at first taught to us at the cradle later develops into state or global cooperation. This cooperation originates from a strong a feeling for one another. The basis of building a civilization that is progressive and lively is through association. Association is the lifeblood of any civilization.
