There are many contrasting visions for how a community can
be a "successful" community --- with contrasting elements.

For  the  sake  of simplicity in  presentation,   the  two
columns of "elements"  below suggest just two  contrasting
visions.    Other contrasting visions might be  presented,
but  are  not  presented here.    Presenting just  two  is
complicated enough!      But, there are many alternatives!

Even   within  the  above  two  styles   of   communities;
significant  differences  can exist  depending  upon   the
kinds of leaders who play central roles within communities
of  each  style.    Leaders  can  differ  as  to   diverse
leadership backgrounds focused upon: Cultures,  Religions,
Narrow-Specialization, Integrations, Arts, Music, Science,
Mathematics,   Poetry,  Theology,  Dance,   Entertainment,
Politics,  Military, Exploration, Sculptury,  Photography,
Images, Athletics,  Contests,  Cooperation, Socialization,
Intimacy,     Conflicts,    Alienation,    Reconciliation,
Diplomacy, etc.
