5 What Is Community.docVIP

What Is Community? 什么是社区 Communities are natural human associations based on ties of relationship and shared experiences in which we mutually meaning in our lives, meet needs, and accomplish the persons we were meant to become, discover meaning, generate ethical values, and develop a culture a culture which would be impossible for single, isolated individuals to accomplish alone. 社区是基于各种相互联系和共同经历而形成的自然的人类组织.在社区里,我们的生活互相影响,包括如何满足需要,如何成为我们理想中的人,意义的发现,伦理价值的产生,以及开创一种文化.这种文化对于单独的,孤立的个体来说是不可能创造的.
