Online research community

The community I chose to research was Chowhound, which is an online community for foodies. The foodie community subjects range from Bars and Restaurants (715,297 posts) to Not About Food (6,376 posts) and several more.

People will even have some little disagreements within their conversations which sometimes are full-length posts back and forth. However, some people post recipes and ask questions on how to make certain meals for certain people such as kids or for a large party. They will post advice, questions where many people…

Community is a concept that has a variety of meanings, in which sociological theorists have debated its true definition for years. However, out of all the definitions given, each one is related to a common set of ideas that a community, based on thousands of years of history and human interactions, is made up of unified groups of people in a specific area that that often share common interests and interactions with one another. Therefore, this is what constitutes a community in a generalized…

Physical and built environment Menec et al. (2011) describe the built environment as comprising the outdoor spaces (e.g. green spaces, parks, walking trails), buildings and natural environment of a community, such as its air and water quality. The physical and built environment are important factors in age-friendly community…

Regardless if a community is a sports team, a religious group, or American society, communities give their members some set of perks. These are opportunities the members would not ordinarily receive on their own. Although some opportunities are for the benefit of their members, some opportunities extend outside their population into other communities. Not only are there potential opportunities to gain knowledge and experience when two or more communities begin to intertwine, there is also a…

Throughout this class, I have learned so much about the aspects of the community health, agencies, drug abuse, health rates, and disease types and control. These were all topics that were greatly interesting to me and I feel like the class improved my understanding of the way in which many communities operate. It also…

The Negotiation As expected the hospital team initially saw the needs of the community as a problem the CCC itself should handle through government programs or by approaching a hospital in another area, West Point Hospital. They expressed frustration with the community and reminded the CCC that the hospital is run on private money from donors and not government funded. It was obvious that the hospital did not feel any responsibility to the community itself, they were concerned with business…
