Summary
The community is usually defined socially as a group of human beings whose life together is made possible by respecting a certain number of rules that define the rights and obligations of each of them. According to this definition, the members of the community are women and men. However, a gradual evolution of this concept has led us to consider that groups of human beings, for example, companies, and associations, can also have rights and obligations and, therefore, can also be considered members of the community.
