Blog #1: Community

A community is created through unity. A community is a group of like minded individuals brought together who share a common goal or passion. The literal definition of a community is a group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common, but I believe it is much more than that. It is your safety net, your backing that reminds you that there are other like minded individuals like yourself are out there living through the same passion and struggles that you face in your daily life. A community gives you direction, feedback, and supports you through whatever obstacles you may presented in front of you. In some circumstances, a community is the people who love you or matter the most in your life.  In that perspective, community is just another word for family.


A community is related to writing the same way a class could be related to school. It's one element in part of a bigger establishment. In a community, communication is key, and writing is the backing force behind communication skills.  Writing is the glue that holds a community together, because without it, a community loses its support, feedback, and direction that the individuals within a community so desperately strive for.  Writing takes the ideas a community, vocalizes them, then spreads them throughout, excelling and evolving ideas shared, advancing the group as a whole.
