Environmental Clomp(cluster) Factors or Population Count Variations in Community Development Size Descriptions

Environment is one of those words I like to throw about much like a rag. 'Is that a dust rag?' you ask. 'Well...' 'a wash rag?' 'uhhm...' 'What then?!' If I use it to dust it is a dust rag, if I use it to wash it is a wash rag and if I use it to quilt then it is something else entirely. Environment is an umbrella type word that covers other smaller meanings of itself. I am sure there is a word which describes that more scientifically or technically than does umbrella but umbrella will have to do for now. Overriding through sifter? Nyehh...umbrella will have to do. Umbrella is not such a bad word--it covers us when it is raining or bright and hot, then helps us as we walk along needing something to lean on, and if a bad dog or miscreant perchance by with malice then we have a ready fender or is it fender off-er. So environment is somewhat like that in that it has various meanings and applications depending upon the perspective of the sayer of the word. Another word of the same ilk in this vein is community. I had not realized how intricate, and at the same time simple, a word community was until someone caused me to explore its definition(s). I had not considered that, as a part of community, communication can be between just two persons and at the same time must always be between at least two persons in order to be community as well as effective communication. On the other end, when population growth is unrestrained community begins to approach unmeasurable quantities, and communication largely becomes difficult to find as the majority comes across noisy and cluttered and static, rather than as comradery and fellowship and personableness. The overriding factor, though, is that even in places of excessive population, one finds that there remains the elements of community found in a subset of that larger sparsley and tersely communicating population. So quickly here, have I run into difficulty with the idea of a comprehensive community in a large scale population center that it is evident that some sort of modifier(s) must be developed to define community that is non family and non friendly though not antagonistic, but matter of fact, agnostic and self serving in its communication and facade. Is it community to merely communicate without the feeling of belonging we often associate with the phrase 'sense of community'? And yet, when the Boston Red Sox win the Series how many tens of millions feel that very illusive and fleeting sense of community we all so desire as to launch ourselves into the countryside and into diverse and even sordid activities to replace it into our lives?
