Some are searching for identity in this belonging. Others are developing, expanding, generating their identity by increasing the variety and quality of their participation in communities. These latter have gone beyond belonging issues. Corporations generally provide little in the way of satisfaction for what is sought in community. Communities allow for expression and varying degrees of active membership in other communities.
Communities are in and of life - the whole of life.
While a corporation can be seen this way as well, most will also exhibit significant barriers to such natural flows. This alone will inhibit the experience of belonging and of community. Corporations, besides their inhibitory practices and structures, fail to provide practices and structures of community. These are not merely a list but an integrated, interacting set of language, communication, justice, respect, common interest, relationship, and similar phenomena.
