Community!

There are many things that make up a community in both, the real world and the virtual world. Some of the things that make a community are people, security, relationships, location, interactions, economy, currency, reproduction, identity, rules/enforcement, and accessibility. All of thost thing I have listed, people will argue that those all can happen as a community as well as in the real world. I did not really believe that, but after hearing some of the arguments that were made in class, I understand were they are comming from and I do believe you can have a community in the virtual world. A location is the first thing you need; if you can imagine it, visualize it, remember it, or go to it physically then it is a real location. All communitys require security, every one wants to feel safe. Communitys every where, live and die and may or may not raise back up again.
So the big question, Can there be a real community on line? My answer to that after having taking this class, is yes. I have not done anything like that on line, but there are people every were that have and are a part of a community on line; just like there are people that have claimed to get married and divorced on line.
