What a community means to me

      For me,  a community is a group of person sharing a common interest, caracteristic or activity. A community can be formed in order to simply ge together with people you feel a sense of  belonging as can be seen with the neighborhoods that bear the names of certain ethnic groups. It also can be a way to affirm its identity in a religious, ethnical or sexual way. Even though a community mostly has a positive significance, it can also be misused. In other words, it doesn't only get people together, it  also facilitates the exclusion and isolation and can lead to discrimination and racism. A community should be a "world" of self improvement, of support and not a way to exclude people.
