Personal behaviors are largely shaped by social pressures—this statement holds more as fact than as theory. Evidently, communities pose as a positive. Why else would they exist if they were not believed to be advantageous? Communities stand as collective forces much stronger than individual forces and additionally, communities exist as oases of social comfort helping one another express emotions and gain acceptance. These positive aspects are blatantly obvious, and there really is no need to further investigate these pros within communities. Instead, there should lie more concern around the proponents of communities that are not obvious: their deleterious effects on the individual. As great as they are, communities also strip away individuality
Every person deserves the right to experience a sense of community amongst people who share a common characteristic. A sense of fellowship amongst similar people allows a person to become more comfortable with who they are through interactions with others who are going through—or have gone through—the same triumphs or hardships. Without this feeling of belonging, one could be driven into insanity.

By definition however, community invites inimitability. Community can be defined as a group of unique individuals with shared characteristics. From that a

Many of the characters in the novel are isolated and openly discuss their feelings of loneliness and i think that most of them feel that way because the guys travel by themselves and that's one of the reasons they may feel lonely. They also might feel lonely because they don't even have a home or a place they could call their own. The reason why I think a majority of them are lonely though is because they don't have families and just having a family and spending time with them makes you feel better and since they don't have a family is probably why most of the men spend their time at susy's place. Another one of the reasons why i think that most of the men and even the people that work at the ranch are lonely is because they have almost absolutely nothing.

Community is an elusive term, known by everyone yet somewhat difficult to get a firm grasp of, its relatively vague and many different norms and values fall under the direct distinction of community. Talcott Parsons describes community a collective of which the members share a common territorial area as their base of operations for daily activities. Every individual has their own idealised version of what a community is and what is should look like. There are many theoretical definitions of what a community is and just as many glorified versions of what a community should be. Anthony P. Cohen says that we, as a society are attached to the idea of community and strive to understand it “We confront an empirical phenomenon: people’s attachment to community. We seek an understanding of it by trying to capture some sense of their
