My first thoughts on the causes of the lack of community was of course TV and the programming. But then remember how parents are afraid to allow their kids to roam and play outside freely. Both parents working outside the home and the kids going to day care or home alone after school playing video games for hours. The reasons are many many today to choose from could go on and on.
Then I remember two events that united this nation and it's people if even for a brief few minutes. They were the assassination of JFK and 911. So I now believe it takes a common suffering or a threat of danger to bring a sense of community. Divisions and selflessness seems silly when the whole of society is effected. So as long as the masses are somewhat comfortable in their lives things will only get worse.
