Personal Community Experiences

After thinking for a few minutes the only real experiences with a community, that has anything to do with this class, has to do with my experiences at work. I work for a major retailer, and my experiences as a part of that community has not been positive. It is very hard to share information with people at this store. I believe it has to do with the fact that I am younger than most of the people that work with me, and that there is a language barrier between about half of the people that work with me. But I can tell people there over and over again and nothing gets done as I instructed for it to get done. Also as a part of the community I sometimes try to voice concerns about how to improve the community only to be brushed off like I don't know what I'm talking about. Even though I work at a grocery store it isn't exactly rocket science. For example if I tell a boss that we keep running out of chicken I should probably be listened to, since we are out of chicken.
