Statement: A community of solution is based on its location.
Answer: False
Explanation: A community of solution is not defined by geography but rather by a
common concern or issue that brings people together to address it. The members
may come from various locations but are united by a shared problem or goal.
Statement: Populations and communities are terms that can be used
interchangeably.
Answer: False
Explanation: A population refers to all individuals of a specific group (e.g., all
people over 65) in a defined area, regardless of social connection. A community
includes people who share common values, interests, or geographic location and
often interact socially. They are related but not the same.
Populations and communities are two different terms. A population differs from a
community in that the individuals of the population do not necessarily interact with
one another and do not necessarily share a sense of belonging to that group.
Communities involve people who chose to interact with one another because of
common interests, characteristics, or goals.
