As a class Nigel got us thinking about defining the term 'community', because there is not just one explaination of it. We looked at aspects of what makes a community, the impact of language in including and excluding people from a community, locations, online presence, signs, symbols and representations etc.
To sum up generally, 'community' could be defined as:
'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.'
