I’m sure everybody reading this is part of a community, but how do you determine whether a community is successful or if it requires additional work to reach its potential? Should a community celebrate that fact that they are a community. For example community A celebrates with parades, organized group events, community BBQ’s and they are extremely open with each other which they believe creates a better, stronger more attractive community than community B, which consist of home dwellers or a community that’s makeup consists of a more relax and not so“in your face” mentality. The only time Community B talks to other members are when the rainy season is upon them and the grass grows as high as the wheat fields and they are forced to cart the rusty old manual mower to cut down the grassy deviation, bandaging the rocky agreement of reciprocity and comradery between neighbours. Community A and community B have the same rate of crime, same level of satisfaction, and same middle range housing. Which community would you want to live in?
This is interesting because the decision distinctly represents your personality, if you are an out-going, extroverted people person you will most likely pick community A but if you are more of an introverted person you will pick community B and if you fall in the middle chances are the community itself will almost mould your personality into that of the community you live in. Kind of a scary thought, but if you live in a community dominated by gang violence and crime you are more likely to commit a crime than somebody that lives in community A. If community reflects individual personality, and individual personality reflects community, one could almost treat a community as a individual living entity.
