Community Aesthetic

A Community Aesthetic is the beauty and pleasure we feel by being part of a community.

This form of connection feels warm and important to us. It is a form of connection that is often used in media to pull on our heart strings.

Discussion

Maybe a misnomer. Perhaps Communal Feeling is better. However, the term Aesthetic is useful because it references our general concepts of beauty and pleasure, separate from the feeling of community by itself.
