In this day and age, can't we replace physical communities with virtual communities? Are virtual communities all bad? Are physical communities still relevant?
Hello and welcome to Gen Z Meets World podcast! In this episode, we discuss communities, the sense of communities and the two types of communities (physical and virtual).
They say that a community is made up of a group of people who share a common characteristic or trait. However, we also believe that a community is built out of the sense of community harboured by its members. Thus, if either one of these aspects is taken away, is the community still a community? These are some of the concepts and ideas we are exploring in this episode. We also thought about how prevalent virtual communities and communications are these days and whether or not they can substitute or replace physical communities. At the same time, we also pondered on how neighbourhoods are breaking apart and how it chips away the strength of a nation.
So come and bring a mug of coffee or tea (or anything really) and join our discourse in the Gen Z meets World podcast! Together, let's create a safe space for us to have engaging discussions on anything and everything young minds and life!
