Welcome Scholars!

In this lesson you will learn the difference between being part of a community, and being part of a group. When we are finished you will also be able to explain the differences between three types of communities- Urban, Suburban, and Rural.

Lets get started!

What is a community? What is a group? Whats the difference?

Communities are groups of people that share common interests, backgrounds, or purpose. For example, a community may share the common purpose of finding food to feed their families. They may be of the same culture or be from the same place.  A community may be made of people with similar interests such as safety or religion.

A group is simply a collection of people.
