cultural shift

I feel that the word community has changed alot over the years, even in my lifetime. The word comunity reminds me of a family in a way. However I feel that participation in the community and volunteering has greatly decreased, especially from the time my parents were my age. I feel that the increased technology has also had some kind of effect on this. In today's society you do not see as much involvement in the community such as volunteering. Everyone always seems to have busy schedules also.
