Our social life is transient; friends, family members, relatives, co- workers, and now everyone spinning fast on different orbits seeking identity, to prove concept of individuality.

Community is a cohesive collective in true spirit of democracy. Any civilized society being based on hierarchy cannot be democratic. Whereas, Global Village is misnomer, an illusion projected by profiteers and power mongers.
