Intro draft<\/h2>\n

When asked to identify one’s identity in a community space, the first word that probably comes to mind is “nebulous”. To wit, were you to ask X number of individuals to define a community, you’d be likely as not to receive X number of disparate responses. Now ask that same group to identity themselves, and the results are certain to be similar.<\/p>\n

So then, if any sample of definitions cannot find cohesion, how then can any working analysis between the two come to pass? I believe the answer to this question is actually somewhat self evident. We do not simply decide to carry a specific identity of self, nor make checklists and settle into like minded communities. Identities are not named, they are created. Calling yourself a soccer player, mother, teacher, leader, role player, or any niche vernacular does not make it so, nor does actively joining a named group. Playing soccer, taking care of others, leading, following – these are how one gains an identity, and multiple identities make the person. To say another way, the culmination of our various actions and small decisions ultimately place us into ever shifting and multifaceted but still somewhat definable roles. These roles can then be divided or combined as needed to define a community.<\/p>\n

In regards to the concept above, I am loathe to tell you what I think my identity is. Not only would I likely be mistaken, even a correct identity would be a singular pigeon holing definition that that is fair to no one, me included. Instead, I will describe to you some of the daily actions I take, and let them form the identity.<\/p>\n

Outline<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. First point will consist of a general listing of personal activities hobbies and occupation.<\/li>\n
  2. Point two will be a description of grouping and environments, how these inadvertently form and function as communities.<\/li>\n
  3. Discussion of influence and scope.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Conclusion: Community identity cannot be defined. It is created each and every day. Tie individual traits, groupings and scope – how each is ever changing.<\/p>\n

    Resources<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. Time lapse video of a pyrographed (wood wand burning) chess board – as the board is formed, all the points will tie to chess being a theoretically solved game, but one in which after the first move is made there are 10^(10^(50)) <\/span>possible games and maybe more – well beyond measurement by available technology for the foreseeable future. I will produce the resource myself.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
