Assignment 2: The Neighborhood Pt.1, April 15nd

In thinking about what “the Collective” means, we will first examine our own neighbourhood situations. Please take either your current or home situation. What makes your neighbourhood a neighbourhood or not? What are the qualities it exhibits that make it a neighbourhood? Are these qualities good/bad/neutral? What are other qualities (tangible/intangible) that create neighbourhoods?

Some questions to think about:
- is a neighborhood necessary?
- how are neighborhoods different in urban and rural settings?
- what is the ideal neighborhood (please bring some pictures of ideal neighborhoods)?

Also, please read the Communist Manifesto in preparation for our discussion.
