“社区”是一个很好的温暖的词，经常被公民，社会工作者和政治家引用。相比之下，“社会”则更加矛盾，它唤起了某种精英主义和排他性的东西，比如“上流社会”。“个人”或“个人主义”这个词，往往意味着自私，并与社会联系在一起，在我们这个时代甚至更令人怀疑。我恳求恢复这三个术语之间的平衡和尊重，作为获得对人类状况和潜力的更全面理解的必要步骤。
“Community” is a good warm word frequently invoked by citizens, social workers, and politicians. “Society,” by contrast, is more ambivalent, invoking something elitist and exclusive, as in the expression “high society.” The word “individual,” or “individualism,” often connoting selfishness and bracketed with society, is even more suspect in our time. I plead for a restoration of balance and esteem among the three terms as a necessary step toward acquiring a fuller understanding of the human condition and potential.
