Gemeinschaftsgefül (social feeling)

Gemeinschaftsgefühl, or social feeling, is a concept from sociology introduced by Alfred Adler. It refers to a sense of belonging, connection, and empathy within a community or social group. It involves caring for others, cooperating, and working toward the common good. This feeling fosters social bonds and promotes harmony, helping individuals feel valued and responsible for the well-being of their community. In essence, Gemeinschaftsgefühl is the emotional investment in fostering positive and cooperative relationships that strengthen social cohesion and mutual understanding.
