What's a Community

A community is a family, group, possible geographical location, friends, a housing development, really just a select group of people or families that are connected by their activities, beliefs, and bonds created throughout knowing one another. For instance a community of mine would be the wrestling community. As a team we grew together, trained and worked hard together, and became true friends. The community taught me integrity, responsibility, and strength of mind. Communities can be large or small, a whole small town, or a large suburban housing development. They can be a school even. The student population as a community, the staff as another, and then both combined to form another larger community. Many things are passed down and taught in communities, like languages, habits, passions, and lifestyles. In a community people give in so that the community and give out in return. However there can be bad things regarding communities as seen by some. In example a homeowners association. To some it can be a place of peace, order, and cleanliness. To others it requires too many rules and leaves them unable to do the things they want to.
