Understanding Communities

The video tutorial from Kids Academy introduces the concept of communities, explaining three common types: urban, suburban, and rural. Urban communities are densely populated with tall buildings and busy streets, exemplified by New York City. Suburban communities are less populated, located near cities, and often involve commuting, with spacious homes and amenities. Rural communities are sparsely populated, characterized by farmland and natural scenery. The video concludes with a review of these community types, encouraging viewers to reflect on their own community.
