I think community is educated human aggregate because if someone were educated about a lot of things, for example learning literacy and rule, how to master the logical thought ability, and we can make friends at school, we can see what we want to do in the future. And if we increase relation of [sorera] there will be organization. That is part of society and there are rules.
I think we can have a broad knowledge of the world by recently modern subject imports different things which are international relations, thinking about environment, and skill of information technology with there has become global world quickly are start line to go to the world, but we can't do to there without knowing about local. As a result, those are connecting with each other. There are common thought in the world. For example, main community in the United States is Christianity, because its doctrine is that established revelation by God in the basics. In a word, we believe that are connect with comrade in all over the world. I think that is difference with Japan , because there are not very religion, take the university for instance, there are small to have major, and not interested in that, but different things cannot help it, because there are never same people in the world. |

I think “Community” is necessary for life. Community has many means. For example locals, religions, society and so on. Community makes me thinking about Mixi. This is a SNS (social networking service) likes MySpace. I join to Mixi. I can write diary, search for friend, up photos and movie. Moreover, we can join and make the community. For example Starbucks community. This community population is 1, 10,231. All people love Starbucks or some people who working there. We talk about “What do you like kind of flavor?” or “Have you ever tried new flavors?” and so on. Like this, we could get information, makes friend. If I would join much community, I could have many information and friends so community is become global.
Another one I join to dance club. This is community too. We like dance, do practice everyday. Also sometime, we practice with other dance club member so dance community is become global.
Community is made from people who have something share things so people join to some community without notice. My working place, PE class, club activity, and so on. In short, community made from people.

I think community is a kind of groups they are interested in and have idea about the same or near subjects. I talk you about a community that I join. I join a volunteer community called “Make A Wish of Japan”.
This community is for children who have obstinate, and started in 1980 from a 7 years old boy, was suffering from leukemia. I tell more about him, he wanted more than anything to grow up to be a policeman. As his condition got worse, a local police force decided to cheer him up making his dream come true. They gave him a ride in a police helicopter and escorted in a motorcade. He was as an honorary police officer, outfitted in a specially tailored regulation uniform, badge, helmet, and his own miniature motorbike. The delighted little boy rode up and down the side work handing out parking tickets to press. Five days later, He died but with a smile in his heart. For only a short while, he lived his dream. The people who created this dream for him realized that there must be many other children with dig dreams but very little time. Therefore, this community was made.
Their activities are spreading in all over the world for achieving the same purpose; this community can be called “Global”, while the activities done in the each country where we can grant the children their wishes, so this also can be called “Local”. In addition, this community started from the U.S. , therefore I will be able to know more the core of this while my staying.

Community means area or group has such common as custom and tradition, and two of kind follows the daily life. Community has various communities. I want to reflect about local community and global community. First, local community means society such people join up solution problems together, so local community is made of cooperation, and confidence. People go into various actions. For example, they treasure custom or tradition, crime prevention activity, disaster prevention activity, road safety campaign, and social welfare activity. Thereof, they are active together. Possibly family is include local community, so I think we need life in the bosom of one's family and we had been taught it. Second, Global community means society such world or such area as Asia and Europe . I think global community is a national commitment, because it wrestles with a refugee problem or disaster relief. I think volunteer work of UNICEF, and NPO include in the global community. Now, world is moving internationalization, so if we lose global communication, we will inconvenient to life, because we have a lot of foreign things. We can't import them. Global communication can have a major impact on country. Both deepen one's friendship or connect with people perhaps country, so I think community need communication. I think either community need to each person understand various things, but it will difficult. I felt trouble among I study abroad, but I think it is good, because I can know another culture. I think I want to cherish our country's culture, and I want to understand different things. |

In my opinion, community is a group of the same race or the people who are related by blood who have the same customs, culture and a deep history. They usually live in the same area, which is not in their native country and almost everyone in a community is made up of immigrants. Also, I think that the people, the domiciles, the history and the organization play a role looks like public office make up community. For example, in Kobe overseas Chinese community case, most of the people live Cyuou-ku, Kobe-shi which is the central part of Kobe city and they have several organizations which include Kobe overseas Chinese school and their ancestor came Kobe in1868 so they have a deep history. I visited Kobe overseas Chinese school and researched it last year. Then a student said “My school is famous as we are all good friends”. Even though they differ in grade, they seem to be good friends. In addition, I learned that they enter Kobe Chinese School for generations. The principal of Kobe Chinese School said, “If cooperation with overseas Chinese were lacking, school can't be maintained.” Also, they formed Kobe China city. I think there are special connections as overseas Chinese. Then I noticed that this connection exist of a common culture and customs, and they have a history. This connection can be call community and I saw such a community for the first time in my life. Actually, some Japanese parents hope that their children enter this school. Now, in Kobe , Kobe overseas Chinese community cannot be ignored. In conclusion, as worldwide globalization marches up, the community becomes more important.
