Community

What is a community? A group of people interacting and probably living close to eachother. The group usually shares common values within the shared geographical location. The group could share common beliefs and value raised through the experience within the community. For instance, I would say that most students in UAlbany have done some form of community service within in their undergraduate years, even if it is one hour. Almost all of us could relate stressing during finals or midterms.

The video shown in class demonstrate that sometimes people have to change in order to fit into a community. For instance the speaker stated that he had to change his personality in order to increase the volume of subscribers to his channel. he realized that most of the people that he was trying to reach out to wanted something that was funny and sarcastic to listen to. He made the changes to his channel in order to achieve a higher volume and he did. once he started making fun of a artist, using vulgar language, and being sarcastic. He ensures that he switches the location of his video so that he could relate more to real people. Not having a set a specific location shows that he is personally speaking to us.
