Testing Cultural Inversion

Individualism and Community

Inversion- Turning culture upside down.

When I think of the word community I think of the towns and villages with people working together in a shared environment and helping each other. Community is a group who share similar ideas or have passion for the same thing, such as their town. However, community could be seen as belonging to a group, and everyone wants to feel a sense of belonging from somewhere.

The online community is a different community to what people would think. It is a virtual community which evolves from members joining online. They become a form of contact with people you already know but also people you don't know. These people could become closer to you than the people you know in real life.
