Abstract
How does accessing the world via the Internet change the way we teach and think about the community we live in? This working committee of seven focused on the notion of "Community and Democracy." The topic, by nature, is grounded in a philosophical discourse over one of pragmatics and functionalism.
Concepts concerning democracy have been debated since the enlightenment with no grand agreement or narrative concerning the rights and responsibility of individuals and communities to and for each other. The members of this committee were no different. We could not come to terms with the "idea" of community, its boundaries and limitations. In defining the notion of community, we were forced not only to define what we included but also what we excluded.
