It is possible to be a part of many different communities all at the same time. You might consider yourself to be a member of the world community, a neighborhood community, and a school community. Often individuals who share common backgrounds or interests form smaller communities within a larger community. A business community or an ethnic community is a good example of this. These groups interact and are part of a larger community, but share ideas and experiences that are unique to the broader community. For example, a banker might seek out the advice of other members of a business community to solve a financial problem. A Vietnamese-American might join other members of the Vietnamese-American community to sing traditional Vietnamese folk songs. It can be said that the larger community is made up of many smaller communities that are interconnected and weave in and around each other.
