+ Family & Community

As our unit on Energy winds down (check back soon for a few more concepts), our next theme is Family & Community. Here's how Wikipedia defines community:

A community is a social group of organisms sharing an environment, normally with shared interests. In human communities, intent, belief, resources, preferences, needs, risks and a number of other conditions may be present and common, affecting the identity of the participants and their degree of cohesiveness.

We define community as a group of people sharing a particular space and common interests. A family is a fundamental form of a community.

We'll be learning about how communities have been affected by technology, urbanism and sprawl, education, and more. Based on our interviews, we'll create concepts every Friday that strive to solve some the problems of today's communities.
