Turner: Communitas-Nick Thompson

In the book Image and Pilgrimage Turner uses a very general definition for the word communitas. That definition is a commonness of feeling. I think that communitas does exist in this world almost everywhere. In different places all over people feel a sense of closeness in their own community and feel that they need to help protect each other. Which is what I think Turner means by commonness of feeling.
