A Sociological Basis for Cyber-Communities
A long time ago Robert A. Nisbet
A conservative sociologist
Established the need for community as a balance to rampant society
Community was face to face intensely educational developmental
Society was impersonal and reifying turning us into commodities
Others of Nisbet's time warned against ego-bolstering by society
Today society can be equated with corporate and ego-bolstering is the very marrow of TV
That and a sort of bullying subtext
We are being fashioned by this force into compliant social beings
This is the sociological reason why cyber-communities are
an apposite answer to the untrammeled advance of society -
gesselschaft
I wish folk like Chris Hedges and Cornel West would get their minds around this
A cyber-community is walkable
A cyber-community is face to face
A cyber-community places all elements of a city within a mile walk
Schools work entertainment commerce residence
Scaled to a population of no more than 10,000
A cyber-community requires the involvement of the corporate sphere
It requires fruits of mass production and high tech
But it also requires that corporations be responsive to
the democratic initiatives of those who form the community
It is a synthesis beyond the failed dialectics of the present binary discussion
