volunteerism, and community service are similar since they offer help with the needs of the environment to society or communities. While working on those needs, we get to learn and gain not only knowledge, but a formation of moral and civic values. By performing service learning, volunteerism, or a community service, we have the opportunity to interact with people who failed to get a job that month, people who do not have sufficient resources, and with members of communities that are not legal…

The Forest Acres community offers a number of opportunities to those who live in the area. As a city that has increased from two square miles to approximately five square miles in the area size, and from 375 to around 10, 500 in population size, it is understandable why this community appears to be becoming more upscale when compared to other local communities. After visiting different areas of this community, Forest Acres appears to be a community that is populated mostly by upper middle class…

mutual community in which people interact in. Communities allow friendships and even family to grow and strengthen over time, such communities can be seen in life and even in stories such as Cathedral by. Raymond Carver. By having a group of people to interact with and grow alongside to allows a community to form and become a life that is centered around those people and activities that will ensue in that community.

(Huxley 3). This quote’s description of the building and label represents the setting of the book. A place that took place where the director taught the students about Bokanovsky’s process. “….Community, Identity, Stability” (Huxley 3). These three words show the slogan for the society, the society’s motto. Community meaning that they work all together as team and raise the happiness of the society. Identity meaning that even though you have different social castes individuals has to have…

For example, I would rather live in a neighborhood that had lots of places for my child to play and make friends than live in a neighborhood that had nothing to offer for my child. In addition, having these areas could open up opportunities for community service. Neighborhood leaders could host groups to help clean up the parks and playgrounds. Investing in pools, parks and playgrounds open opportunities for neighborhood sports teams. For instance, adding a pool to the neighborhood could then…

Sometimes living at a certain community doesn’t make you a part of it. Part of the reason can be that one can be so isolated from it, it feels like one lives somewhere else. For example, I live in Riverdale, a quiet community in the Bronx. Not that I don't like the community, I feel like I live in a safe area, but nothing even remotely interesting seems to occur in the Dale. When I leave my apartment to catch the bus that takes me to college, I walk by a couple of newspaper racks and never even…

Introduction Many people often think that there is only one real world that has many forms of culture, which is the one that we live in everyday. Tom Boellstorff, the author of Coming to Age in Second Life, is not one of those people. In this ethnography, Boellstorff challenges that there is more than one real world and that virtual worlds have culture just as places in the real world do. The topic of virtual worlds or virtual reality is becoming more and more prominent in this age of…

Community is important to me. I grew up in a small town where you knew your neighbors, and chances were that you lived down the street from at least one of your teachers. Where every summer Saturday, the entire block would meet in somebody’s backyard- a fire would be lit, and all of us kids would roast marshmallows and hotdogs, and play on the wooden swing-set, playing out stories and adventures. My community wasn’t just a place where I lived and went to school- it was a family. I want to join…

The Anime discourse community is made up of people who are fans of Japanese animated productions and Manga who are sometimes referred to as “otaku”. Not all members would identify with that term because of its derogatory connotations in Japan. People involved in the community come from a wide demographic, from many walks of life, and a wide range of ages. The discourse community allows them to come together to share their love of Japanese animation and Manga. A love and enthusiasm that some…
