This lesson focuses on types of communities and its differences. It allows us to support one another, interact, share experiences and our modern life struggles. Having this open bond with others is what builds valuable relationships, and gives us a deeper sense of belonging.
Communities are also rich in resources. Your strengths may be someone else’s weaknesses and vice versa. With the diversity of skills, common goals can be achieved that much faster.
A formal group is formed when people come together to accomplish specific goals and objectives. An official group has particular structures and roles where responsibilities of members of the group are defined.
Activities carried by a formal group have specific guidelines, which members of the group are supposed to adhere to and follow to ensure good coordination. Some of the common formal groups that exist within the organization or community include schools, church, hospitals, government, and civic organizations.
An informal group is formed when two or more people come together to accomplish a specific task which is mainly socially geared. The main idea behind the establishment of the informal group is the satisfaction of both personal and psychological needs.
Informal groups are not subjected to any rules and regulations in the company, and the members of this group willingly belong to this group. There are no explicit guidelines that govern the operations of an informal group.
The people residing in such area, are engaged in trade, commerce or services. In this settlement, there is high scale industrialization that results in better employment opportunities. The urban settlement is not confined to the cities only, but towns and suburbs (suburban areas) are also included in it.
There are many advantages of life in urban areas like easy access to various amenities, better transportation facilities, entertainment and education options, health facilities. Although it suffers certain drawbacks like pollution, caused due to large scale industrialization and means of transportation like buses, trains, cars and so on, leading to increasing in health problems in the people living in that area.
An urban area is the region surrounding a city. An area with high density of population. Urban community is something which an individual thought as, an area with high density of population, an area with the availability of basic requirements, an area of good resources, the area has lots of opportunity of employment and such an area which can be considered as life-giving for luxurious desires of human or individual.
Urban life and personality are affected by the physical and social conditions of urban living—anonymity, social distance, speed and tension, regimentation, impersonal social interaction, mobility and transiency etc. These conditions produce impersonality, insecurity and segmentation of personality, which appear to be universal characteristics of urbanisation (or urban community) all over the world.
Urban mode of life is quite contrary to traditional rural life, though it has affected rural life which is also in the process of change. Its characteristics are represented by the terms ‘urbanism’ and the process of its expansion is called ‘urbanisation’.
It refers to a small settlement, which is outside the boundaries of a city, commercial or industrial area. It may include, countryside areas, villages or hamlets, where there are natural vegetation and open spaces. There is a low density of population in such area. The primary source of income of the residents is agriculture and animal husbandry. Cottage Industries also form a chief source of income here.
A rural area is an open swath of land that has few homes or other buildings, and not very many people. A rural area’s population density is very low.
Based on the density of population, development, amenities, employment opportunities, education, etc. human settlement is majorly divided into two categories i.e. Urban and Rural. Urban refers to a human settlement where the rate of urbanization and industrialization is high. On the other hand, in a rural settlement, is one where the rate of urbanization is quite slow.
Another important difference between the two human settlements is that while urban areas are highly populated, rural areas have comparatively less population than the urban ones. Take a read of this article, in which we’ve compiled the important point to distinguish the two.

A global community are the people or nations of the world, considered as being closely connected by modern telecommunications and as being economically, socially, and politically interdependent. The quality of global governance is reflected in each local community worldwide. The global community will show leadership by creating a global civil ethic within the global community.
The global constitution describes all values needed for good global governance: mutual respect, tolerance, respect for life, justice for all everywhere, integrity, and caring. The Scale of Human and Earth Rights has become an inner truth and the benchmark of the millennium in how everyone sees all values.
