maybe i think too much but i was thinking over the ways internet and real life communities compare... what are the differences, what are the similarities?

in real life communities we have a group of people who come together sharing common goals such as providing ourselves with safe and comfortable surroundings (similar to internet communities)

in real life communities members are asked to maintain responsible behaviors for the benefit of the community (as in internet communities)

in real life communities we have groups of people whose specific duties are to assist in maintaining the peace and good welfare of others (police, social workers, doctors, lawyers, firefighters, utility workers, etc..)

in internet communities we have a group of fellow members whose task it is to monitor the actions and behaviors of others in such a way that we all feel safe and cared for (our mods )

in real life communities we experience fear and concern whenever there is an event that disturbs the good of the whole (as in internet communities)

in real life communities and cyber communities we have agreements, disagreements, decision and choices

in real life and cyber communities we asked for tolerance and understanding of our neighbors peace and well being

in real life communities we need places like grocery stores and laundromats to fill in the gaps where some have less advantage than others (not really needed in a cyber community lol)

in real life communities personal responsibility and self discipline are major contributors to the safety of the environment (something cyber communities also need in order to remain friendly, kind and loving)

in real life communities we have people from diverse backgrounds coming together and pooling talents in such a way as to provide for individual needs and in so doing contribute comforts and necessities for the members

in cyber communities we have individuals with individual motives and self needs like in a real life community...

what is each individuals personal responsibility to create and maintain a safe environment for members in either cyber or real life communities?

how many ways can we think of that cyber communities and real life communities are the same/not the same?

thanks to all for your input and may each of you have a blessed and wonderful day
