羣體

「群體」一詞英語「Community」源自於古法語中指稱夥伴關係或者有組織社會个「Comunete」，而後者更是從拉丁語中專指共同持有東西个詞彙「Communitas」延伸而來。在社會學中對於群體个內涵曾有老大个爭議，社會學家也尚未對群體个定義達成共識，其中在1950年中期關於群體就有49種弗同个定義。部分群體可以提出或者行使政治或社會權利，其中又有些群體是建立在民主基礎丄个，但並非全數群體儕是施行民主制度。其中一個能寬泛包括所有弗同形式群體个定義爲：

一般而言群體會是比家還要大个社會單位，而當一群人爲了達到目標或者解決問題、共同工作个計畫也能夠促使人們組成群體。群體昰個詞也可以指一個民族或者全球性个社群，另外也有像合作社般是建立在經濟基礎上个群體。群體彼此可能同時面對或者共有目的、信念、資源、偏好、需求、風險等條件，而昰個也將影響參與者个身份搭凝聚力个強弱。在網際網路出現後群體个定義便比較弗受到地域性个限制，因爲即便在弗同地區、人們仍然可以在同一個虛擬社群內交換訊息或者是分享共同个興趣。而在過去要組織像社會、學術團體等非實體社群个辰光，往往會受到通訊搭交通技術个限制而較難發展。
