	Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gemeinschaft (often translated as community) is an association in which individuals are oriented to the large association as much if not more than to their own self interest.
		Furthermore, individuals in Gemeinschaft are regulated by common mores, or beliefs about the appropriate behaviour and responsibility of members of the association, to each other and to the association at large; associations marked by "unity of will" (Tönnies, 22).
		Gemeinschafts are broadly characterized by a moderate division of labour, strong personal relationships, strong families, and relatively simple social institutions.

	Ferdinand Toennies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gemeinschaft — often translated as community — refers to groupings based on a feeling of togetherness.
		Gemeinschaft may by exemplified by a family or a neighbourhood; Gesellschaft by a joint-stock company or a state.
		Whereas the membership in a Gemeinschaft is self-fulfilling, a Gesellschaft is instrumental for its members.

	Ferdinand Tonnies - Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Gemeinschaft was exemplified by the family or neighborhood; Gesellschaft, by the city or the state.
		The common town life remains within the Gemeinschaft of family and rural life; it is devoted to some agricultural pursuits but concerns itself especially with art and handicraft which evolve from these natural needs and habits.
		The village community and the town themselves can be considered as large families, the various clans and houses representing the elementary organisms of its body; guilds, corporations, and offices, the tissues and organs of the town.

	Ferdinand Tönnies on Crime and Society (Mathieu Deflem)
		While Tönnies is generally well known for his theory of Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft, his elaborate contributions to the sociological study of crime have been almost entirely neglected in the history of sociology.
		While the theory of Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft is indeed central to Tönnies’ sociology, the sheer volume of Tönnies’ writings alone indicates that his thought cannot be justifiably restricted to these two terms.
		Other scholars have argued that Tönnies’ dual perspective of Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft has to be expanded to include a third category of ‘pathology’, analogous to Max Weber’s ideal-typical distinction between the positive relationships of sociation in community and society (Vergemeinschaftung and Vergesellschaftung) and the negative relationship of conflict (Kampf) (Cahnman and Heberle 1971:xiii; Heberle 1973:66).

		Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft often have been and still are equated with the rural-urban continuum and are employed to describe the "way of life" or the "moral basis" for rural/urban living.
		In 1887 Toennies introduced the terms Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft, which have "proved to be one of the discipline's most enduring and fruitful concepts for studying social change" (Bender, 17).
		Gemeinschaft describes binding, primary interactional relationships based on sentiment; while Gesellschaft describes an interactional system characterized by selfinterest, competition, and negotiated accommodation.

	Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft
		When discussing Toennie's models of Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft it is important to keep in mind that these are only ideal models by which we can make comparison, and promote debate on the various social and political structures.
		In a perfect Gemeinschaft society this would be the end of it; but in any realistic society someone will invariably come along and try to force their beliefs on others.
		But, the democratic society can also be seen as a government that is a kind of contract with the individuals of the society, ensuring protection for their rights, and conformity for all its citizens.

	A Civilised Gemeinschaft: Ally of Civil Society in Capitalist Development (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		We have seen, over the last few decades, a new, distinctive and to a considerable extent self directed implantation and flourishing of capitalist enterprise and accumulation in a number of previously economically underdeveloped parts of the world and amongst groups that were not previously the focus of attention.
		In quite diverse cases these gemeinschafts have been drawn closer to the ambit of civil society, conceived as a sphere of voluntary association and individual choice, open to science and innovation, responsive to a cosmopolitan and multicultural world.
		Such a civilised gemeinschaft, it is argued can thus sometimes become a resource in the pursuit of such goals as development and accumulation by previously marginal or excluded groups.

	Community Characteristics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Where a community has more gemeinschaft, it can be miserable to live in when everybody knows your business, where gossip is a strong force for keeping people in order, and where there is little freedom to act or dress in eccentric ways.
		Although we sometimes use the slang term, "warm and fuzzy," to indicate the qualities of gemeinschaft, be careful to avoid thinking that it means that living in a community is necessarily soft and comfortable.
		The characteristics of gemeinschaft means that the community is small enough for most members to know each other, for social control to be based on informal methods (gossip) rather than formal laws or rules, and for division of labour and roles to be less rigid and formal.

		The distinction made by the nineteenth century German sociologist between Gemeinschaft (community) and Gesellschaft (association) is also useful in drawing distinctions between Terrian and human society, especially that represented by the Council.
		But with the onset of industrialism, the mutualism to be found in Gemeinschaft gives way to the competitiveness of Gesellschaft society in which relationships are fragmented, self-motivated and egocentric.
		The indicators of the Gemeinschaft nature of the Terrians include their telepathic consensus decision making and the fact that they cannot harm another Terrian regardless of the circumstances.

	Tönnies, Ferdinand (1855-1936) (by Mathieu Deflem)
		Known widely for his theory of Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft, his sociological oeuvre not only comprised the elaboration of an innovative theoretical approach but also included many applied and empirical studies on a wide variety of social issues.
		Suggesting a transformation from Gemeinschaft to Gesellschaft, Tönnies argues that societies of the earlier form are organized around family, village, and town.
		When Tönnies first published Gemeinschaft und Gesellschaft, the work was not widely read, while later editions of the book that appeared in the early 1900s were often appropriated by a generation of young romantics that sought to intellectually ground an utopian return to Gemeinschaft.

		Gesellschaft on the other hand describes associations in which, for the individual, the larger association never takes on more importance than individual self interest, and lack the same level of shared mores.

		It is the longing for an immediate being-together, out of the idea that we once lived in a harmonious and intimate community, but that this harmony has declined throughout history.
		The modern society, the Gesellschaft, stands for the opposite of the warm and cosy pre-modern community, the Gemeinschaft.
		According to this line of thinking, we live now in an anonymous society full of selfish individuals and the close communal ties are no more than memories.
