looks at people behaviour when they set out on a journey with unknown people
and form a community. They experience new things make bonds. They enjoy the
wilderness together and feel the nature. The meaning of the word community is
changed now a days. Due to the invention of internet the world has become a
global village. People can now connect globally from their home to any person
in the world. This has changed the concept of community. People now form online
communities in the form of groups and chat rooms. Facebook has also changed the
way people connect with each other. People like to chat with each other rather
than going out. People are more interested in how much likes and followers they
have rather than their community. This era of social media has changed people
perception of how to make connections(Anderson &
McCabe, 2012).

Going on
adventure and meeting new people has its own benefits. It broadens your mind
and you learn about other people cultures and traditions. These experiences can
only be achieved by physically going out into the world and coming out of your
comfort zone. People are now tied to their computer screens and are forgetting
the joys of socializing. Although social media has its benefits but they way
the humankind is using this technology is raising questions about its future.
Human by nature are social animals. They aren’t designed to be tied to their
homes and on virtual screens. They need to communicate with each other to
better understand each other. People are now engaging more on social media than
in person. People now make relationships online based on their common
interests. They don’t want to socialize with the person who is not their
personality type. They are looking for identical personality types. In this
article the concept of communitas represent adventure and social gathering
which now a days is getting less and less. Socializing helps people in making
deeper longer lasting connections. Social media has changed the way people
build relationships. They can now join multiple communities or online groups at
the same time. This has enabled them to make connections with people of all
cultures around the world. It also has enabled them to learn about different
cultures. But the difference is they are not experiencing the culture. For
experiencing they must travel to the place and meet with the people of that
culture to fully understand it. Modernization and internet have changed people
behaviour toward community. The commitment to their online communities is
temporary in nature. They can go and join new communities whenever they like.
