Social collectivity

Look up collectivity in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.

Sociologists have defined a collectivity as a social system, as an aggregate of organisms, or as a definable social order wherein the members have a sense of membership. Collectivities comprise a central element of much modern sociological theory.

In terms of sociological categories, a community can seem like a sub-set of a social collectivity. In developmental views, a community can emerge out of a collectivity.
