Walking with the wind

From the perspective of John Lewis, society is like "little children, rocked again and again by the winds of one storm or another." He claimed that at the height of the civil rights movement, America might burst at the seams because of "tension" and "storms." He relates community to the people in the house that never ran away from the storm; they stayed and did the best they could. He uses his story as an analogy, saying that America is like children holding hands, walking with the wind. He says it is an endless struggle to respond with decency, dignity, and a sense of brotherhood to all the challenges that face us as a nation, and as a whole. I would add a lot to this, community is a group of people living together in one place, practicing common ownership. I believe community is the people we are surrounded by everyday, people that help us, and that we help in return.

Community and service relate without a doubt. If there was no service in a community, then the people in that community would suffer. People that volunteer for functions such as blood drives, food drives, or any kind of charity, do it for the love of their community. People serve because they want to do good in their community, if no one served then we wouldn't have the kind of world that we live in today.
