In this era of social networks a majority comes in touch on daily basis with people originating from around the globe, but only a handful of us truly know our immediate door neighbors. This shows a definite lack of community cohesion and interpersonal contact with beings we frequently see. Existence could be better-off and safer, if at all we had personal and constant relations with the people in close familiarity to us. Deficiency of communications maybe attributed to number of hours typical one spends at work and later at home in front screens. This leaves no time at all to interact with the neighbors. Hostility towards such an effort would also be a hindrance. In trying to initiate contact there exist a challenge in how actually to kick-off the strategy. This because most people would merely ignore any requested approach for interaction. If and incase efforts like drafting questionnaires showing the intent to create contact were made, people would respond harshly and with little information. Others wouldn’t respond to them at all.

  • Analysis Of Sense Of Community By Dr. Jay Grossman

    The media continues to surround us with various advertisement to persuade us one way or another. Although they might be plain and simple to see, they always have an underlying message behind them. In particular, a great example that displays this is the advertisement “Sense of Community” with Dr. Jay Grossman. “Sense of Community” presents us with a poorly made picture of Dr. Jay Grossman in a dentist office treating a “homeless” patient. Some may assume that this advertisement’s purpose is to exhibit the noble deeds and great qualities that he has as a dentist, however, this is incorrect. In my opinion, according to some evidence that are made visible by the author, what he truly wants the audience to believe is how great being in the

    With interactions with individuals such as family, friends, classmates, teachers, and others we meet daily we can have a sense of belonging if communication is used correctly. For an example, when we effectively communicate with professors we can lower levels of stress and anxiety. When there is an open channel of communication between yourself and a professor you are then creating a relationship between the two where you might indicate problems you might be having in the classroom and/or at home. If you never address an issue you are dealing with this can cause confusion and frustration between the two parties where one might stigmatize the other from past

    The complexities in the discovery of past and present communities led analysts to realize that the term community, often demonstrated in a neighborhood, is not confined to neighborhoods. By 1970s, analysts had expanded the definition of community beyond the boundaries of neighborhood and kinship solidarity and argued that the ‘essence of community was its social structure and not its spatial structure. They then began to treat “community” as “personal community” and defined as a network of significant, informal community ties. The transmutation of community into social network has helped the persistence of communities even when the neighborhood traces are faint.

Communities are groups of people that help an individual to learn and develop new ideas. A society is where people’s relations with each other are direct and personal and where a complex web of ties link people in mutual bonds of emotion and obligation. The idea of community has provided a model to contrast to the emergence of more modern less personal societies where cultural, economic and technological transformations have uprooted tradition and where complexity has created a less personal and more rationalized and goal directed social life.
