Document Summary

The common"s was a popular part of the social economy. The common"s refers what what we share as a community. It happens when the people decide to share their resources collectively and take as much as they would need. They would not be greedy and take as much as they would want. The common"s can be a simply as a tree. Where people use the tree to pick fruit, or a place of social gathering. People would gather around the tree and tell one another stories. I feel like, the common"s, people trusted each other more easily, because of the social ties they had with one another. Where people come and use their resources, together people would grasp social ties with one another. But, we do not maintain the park, the local city hires people to maintain it for us. They go with a group of people they already know, sometimes they are not interested in meeting new people.
