Ann M. Johns talked about all the different types of communities there are. Communities that cause conflictions, such as academic discourse, ones that rebel, connecting your identity to membership, and more. She tells us how communities almost have their own structure. Every community has its own overall views, beliefs, and structure. One can be in communities outside of their physical neighborhood. Communities can be anywhere from a physical middle-class neighborhood, or a catholic church. Each community is surrounded by people with at least one common interest or they would not be in the community. Johns tells about the levels of communities. There are always broad communities but within the communities, there are smaller communities with more things in common. Every community helps one another with advice and feedback which is why communities communicate differently. Some communicate through books, magazines, online, and others in person. Each and every community vary because each one is different. We are often born into certain communities such as religion, social communities, economic class, and tribes. Economic class plays a huge part in the communities you are born into. For example, I was born in a middle-class family in an area with lower education than some of my surrounding areas including the communities I worked in.
