    The document discusses the concept of community from several perspectives. It defines community as a group of people with common interests, values or identity. There are three interacting processes that make up a community: social relationships, power structures, and local economies. A community has fuzzy boundaries and can exist within larger communities. The six dimensions that define a community are technological, economic, political, institutional, aesthetic values, and beliefs. Sociologists view community as small, spatially bounded groups while cultural studies sees community through a lens of shared belongingness regardless of identity. Social movements consider community as a form of political action against injustice, and globalization scholars see the rise of a global community.

    TECHNOLOGICAL
    “The technological dimension of community is its capital, its
    tools and skills, and ways of dealing with the physical
    environment. It is the interface between humanity and
    nature.”
    ECONOMIC

    “Humans use to be productive, use to consumes and


    distribute goods and commodities to build a better
    community. “
    POLITICAL

    “The political dimension of community is its various ways


    and means of allocating power, influence and decision
    making.”
    INSTITUTIONAL
    “The social or institutional dimension of community is
    composed of the ways people act, interact between each
    other, react, and expect each other to act and interact. It
    includes such institutions as marriage or friendship, roles
    such as mother or police officer, status or class, and other
    patterns of human behavior.”
    AESTHETIC VALUE
    “The aesthetic-value dimension of community is the
    structure of ideas, sometimes paradoxical, inconsistent, or
    contradictory, that people have about good and bad, about
    beautiful and ugly, and about right and wrong, which are
    the justifications that people cite to explain their actions.”
    BELIEFS CONCEPTUAL
    “The belief-conceptual dimension of community is another
    structure of ideas, also sometimes contradictory, that
    people have about the nature of the universe, the world
    around them, their role in it, cause and effect, and the
    nature of time, matter, and behavior.”
