A community is a group of people living in close proximity who often share common values, interests or characteristics. Communities can be defined geographically (like neighborhoods) or socially (like online communities).
Imagine community as a sports team. Each player has their own role but they work together towards achieving common goals. They support each other through wins and losses - that’s what makes them not just teammates but also a community.
Society: A group of individuals involved in persistent social interaction within defined territorial boundaries.
Culture: The shared beliefs, customs, arts etc., of a particular group or society that distinguish it from others.
Subculture: A cultural subgroup differentiated by status, ethnic background, residence etc., from the larger society which it is part of.
