Community and writing

I define a community as people caring for one another with similar beliefs and values. I feel that a community could vary anywhere from a small hometown to a university or workplace. Within a community people look out for one another and are in similar situations, such as college students attending a university. A community shapes and helps to form a person's beliefs; therefore, within a community many of the people will feel the same or similar on particular topics. Literature and writing is seen everywhere in the world, in many different forms. Writing can be something as insignificant as a billboard advertisement or as important as an award winning novel or a college textbook. Each community will encounter a large number of various forms of literature and writing. Writing will help to shape the minds of the people within the community and it will have an affect on the people's views on certain topics. Literature has a enormous affect on how people feel about different topics. Textbooks in a class will help to mold how those students view that particular topic. Writing and communities are related because different forms of writing will have a large impact on the community by helping members of the community to form opinions on social, political, personal, and other issues. Literature is related to everything in everyone's everyday lives, no one can go a day without reading or writing something, therefore writing would influence a community by either changing some members of the community's views or reinforcing them. Writing has an enormous impact on members of communities by helping to shape and form people's opinions and feelings.
