The community shapes the meaning of our individual lives. It shapes our lives into the cars we want, clothes we wear, and the personalities of those living in the community. Our society today is based on what the media tells us is "in" and "out".
We are all one when it comes to community. For example, here at Defiance College. As a whole community we are one group of Yellow Jackets. Also, we identify with everyone on this campus as a student here on campus.
The answer to "Who am I?" conflicts with the answers to "Who are we?" because as a whole a group can be similar. When you single out a specific person they can be very different form the group. There will be some similarities, but over all they will be very different from the group.
You did a very good job in explaining every concept, from how the community shapes us to how we are as individuals.
