6-8 School introduces us to a class with a leader . 19-22 College is the first ecosystem that we are aware we are in because we interact with so many different community services, community leaders, communities of interest and social communities. Most likely there are many different community purposes and each community is employing every tool it available.

Knowledge capital is the on-line brain trust representing a highly varied accumulation of expertise.
Communion is making connections with people you may not have known without the community. Together, these provide what Marc Smith calls collective goods. Every cooperative group of people exists in the face of a competitive world because that group of people recognizes there is something valuable that they can gain only by banding together. Looking for a group's collective goods is a way of looking for the elements that bind isolated individuals into a community . In that respect, the collective good makes the community compelling.
