The document discusses the structural elements of communities. It explains that communities have socio-political, economic, and cultural structures that facilitate collective action and enable the community to function. The socio-political structure involves socialization and social/political processes that generate an organized way of life. The economic structure allows communities to meet goals through businesses and employment. A community's culture is shaped by its history, social interactions, activities, and beliefs.
