Document Summary
A group of people who have common characteristics: used to be tied to location, but now there are many more broad elements. Don"t need to know about differences between community organizing vs. community building. Feel like you belong to this community o. Mutual influence members influence one another: we can influence one another, we matter to one each other and so do our opinions. Shared emotional connection member share common history, experiences, and mutual support: we feel connected because we have some sense of common history, current realities, support we give one another, etc. that drives us to feel connected to one another. Most of us belong to multiple communities simultaneously: membership to one community does not restrict you from others, different memberships to different communities can create tensions as well. Term community organization coined by u. s. social workers in 1880s to describe efforts to coordinate services for new immigrants and the poor.
