To me that is two ways in which distinction manifests.Katrina Clokiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13817473142273516519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844510344016016899.post-18900792489474721812015-02-18T15:08:18.101+13:002015-02-18T15:08:18.101+13:00I think there are couple more:

To answer your last 2 questio...Nice KC, as always.<br /><br />To answer your last 2 questions I'd really need to know what you mean by community...<br /><br />1. a social group of any size whose members reside in a specific locality, share government, and often have a common cultural and historical heritage.<br />2. a locality inhabited by such a group.<br />3. a social, religious, occupational, or other group sharing common characteristics or interests and perceived or perceiving itself as distinct in some respect from the larger society within which it exists (usually preceded by the):<br />the business community; the community of scholars.<br />4. a group of associated nations sharing common interests or a common heritage:<br />the community of Western Europe.<br />5. Ecclesiastical. a group of men or women leading a common life according to a rule.<br />6. Ecology. an assemblage of interacting populations occupying a given area.<br />7. joint possession, enjoyment, liability, etc.:<br />community of property.<br /><br />Note - The above is taken directly from an online dictionary (you know me... lazy ;). Number 3 seems to point towards the type of community you're referring to.<br /><br />Because I 'think' I know what you mean by community I'm pretty happy with your 4 steps from the post. But perhaps you could expand on what you mean by community specifically in relation to the points in your post. You appear to be talking about a couple of different, although very similar, communities.<br /><br />Also, if number 3 above is closely aligned with your meaning, perhaps some thoughts on this part... "perceived or perceiving itself as distinct in some respect from the larger society within which it exists."<br /><br />DGDavid Greenleeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15082414404844873957noreply@blogger.com
