It frames community as essential to belonging and contrasts older local stability with contemporary social fragmentation. The editorial discusses scholarly observations on human solidarity, dehumanized work and home life, and social disorders like delinquency and mental instability. It also outlines psychological symptoms such as alienation and a loss of belonging.","人LINnwWO  \n33u  \nS96  N人1N⁹1INI  \nINTEGRITY,January 1955,Vol.9,No.4  \nEDITORIAL  \n1  \n# GROUP ACTION VERSUS INDIVIDUALISMby Ed Willock\n\n2  \nWORKSHOP IN LoVEby Sister Mariel,S.S.S.  \nR.C.Hessler452 E.Shadbolt St.Lake Orion,Michu  \n9  \n# SILENCE,DoUBLE TALK OR BETTER\n\nUNDERSTANDING  \nby Rolf Lynton14  \nA SITE FOR A VILLAGEby Niall Brennan19  \nCREDIT UNIONS &THE COMMUNITY.by Mary Jean McGrath26  \n# CoMMUNISM,COMMUNITY &CHRIST\n\nby Alan Keenan,O.F.M.32  \nBoOK REVIEWS39  \nIntegrity is published by lay Catholics and devotedto the integration of religion and life for our times.  \nPublished monthly by Integrity Publishing Co.,Inc.,157 East 38thStreet,New York 16,N.Y.,MU-5-8125.Edited by Dorothy.Dohen.Re-entered as Second Class Matter May 11,1950 at thePost Office in New York,N.Y.under the Act of March 3,1879.All single copies 25c each;yearly subscription:Domestic $3.00,Canadian $3.50,Foreign $4.00.  \n×FREE  \nTwo ladies on the bus were talking;the one telling glowinglyall about her daughter's moving into a new suburban develop-ment.\"And best of all everyone's so friendly.Not like our oldneighborhood where you could drop dead and no one would notice.Why there if you need any help at night you switch your outdoorlight on and everyone comes running.”  \nIt was a simple conversation but it was to me a reminder thatwhen we paint in dark shades the modern lack of community,weshould remember that here and there for the contemporary scenewe can use lighter,brighter hues.Young people whose parentswere rugged individualists are discovering new values in co-opera-tion.Where the previous generation chose the glamor andanonymity of big city life,some of the younger generation arerecognizing the importance of living in a place where one isknown.  \nThis sense of belonging is of the essence of community.Yetan exact definition of community is hard to come by.We recog-nize community when it is present;we know when it is absent;but what exactly community is is difficult to say.  \nIn his recent perspicacious analysis of the American charac-ter,People of Plenty,David Potter points to the fact that the much-vaunted American freedom to improve our lot in life has back-fired.People who rejoiced that they could get ahead in the world,now sense dejectedly that they have no place in the world—thatis,no special status,no sense of function.The humble craftsmanof a former era who felt at home in his community,who wasaware of his role there(even though it remained a static one)hada contentment denied the modern American who pays the priceof \"chance for advancement\"in psychological insecurity.Theintangible goods of community have only too often been sacri-ficed to material prosperity  \n×  \nThe contributors to this issue all look at the idea of cwm-munity from different angles.It is a complex subject and theycannot cover it exhaustively.We hope to devote future issues tothe parish as a community,and to the problem technology posesto the development of a sense of community in work life.Weinvite our readers'comments.X  \n1  \n人  \nx  \nGroup Action Versus Individualism  \nby ED WILLOCK  \nWhy isn't there a sense of  \ncommunity in American life?。Are Catholics too individualistic?
