Episode 7: What Does it Mean to Be Part of a Community?
For our final episode, we asked nearly 100 people the same
question: What does it mean to be part of a community? As you might expect, we
received a wide array of answers. People shared what their community means to
them, and what they view as their obligation to their community. Throughout
this series, we’ve talked about building stronger and more inclusive
communities. In this episode, we’ll discuss why community matters, and offer
suggestions of what we might do to repair the social bonds that have been
deteriorating for decades.
