A community is a group of vertices which probably share common properties and/or play similar roles within the graph [10]. Communities are also called clusters or modules. Community detection in Online Social Networks (OSNs) is based on analyzing the structure of the network and finding individuals that correlate more with each other than with other users [20]. Clustering an individual in a particular way can help to further make an estimation regarding the individual such as the activities, products, and services, an individual might be interested in. Communities can be used for recommending information, understanding the structure of the given network and visualizing a large network [19]. Identifying high order structures within networks yields insights into their functional organization, which in turn contributes more knowledge while offering many possible actions, including marketing plans, recommendations and user interface

Most people make the assumption that a community is made up of people who live near them when really it could be made up of people from all over the world. The word “community” can mean many things to different people and everyone has their own opinion on what it means to them. To me community means a group of people who all share the same interest, likes, and who are willing to come together and help one another in times of need. That is why I strongly believe that even if you are on the opposite sides of the world from one another you could still come together and be apart of a strong healthy community.

Society is fooled into believing in the applied connection among people. Benedict Anderson’s idea of imagined communities emphasizes that, “… the members of even the smallest nation will never know most of their fellow-members, meet them, or even hear of them, yet in the minds of each lives the image of their communion” (5). Members of neighborhoods, cities, states, or countries feel a sense of unity with other members for living in the same place or maybe having the same basic values, but true unity comes from understanding the similarities among each other, considering the impact a person can have on another, and caring about lives. Recognizing the importance of lives being socially intertwined is necessary to sustain a considerate society.

By contrast, a neighborhood is an area that can be defined on a city map. It is a collection of individuals that live in geographic proximity and often depend upon the same resources.
