Community
What do Citizens need from their Community?
Personal Freedom & Liberty
Equality & Equity Balance
Fellowship & Friendship

What does a Community need from its Citizens?
Honesty
Loyalty
Commitment
No relationship can survive without honesty. Together with open & clear communication, it is the cornerstone of trust. Without trust, any relationship has a very limited future.
Sororities and Fraternities expect loyalty from their members because there is strength in one unified voice. Without loyalty, any community crumbles.
A community whose members have no commitment to the common goals of the group will struggle to achieve meaningful results where its citizens don't contribute.

Top Down
Bottom Up

The HUGE benefit of Bottom Up control is that the citizens always remain in total control and decisions are made that benefit everyone.
Bottom Up Self Rule is a Critical Part of Our "Vision for Humanity"
Let's continue our discussion of Community basics...
We will look at the rôle of the Human Brain in decision making and how our mental focus affects community outcomes, as well as the success or failure of our relationships with other citizens.
We will see how the Delta Star design mimics the growth of "Bottom Up" community cell structures.
