Social collectivity

Overview

Sociologists have defined a collectivity as a social system, as an aggregate of organisms,

or as a definable social order wherein the members have a sense of membership.

Collectivities comprise a central element of much modern sociological theory.

In terms of sociological categories, a community can seem like a sub-set of a social collectivity.

In developmental views, a community can emerge out of a collectivity.
