Final answer:

Gardner's eight elements of community include common values, shared interests, trust, communication, mutual support and assistance, cooperation, shared history, and a sense of belonging.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gardner's eight elements of community include common values, shared interests, trust, communication, mutual support and assistance, cooperation, shared history, and a sense of belonging. In a particular community that I have been a member of, such as a school club, the elements of trust, communication, mutual support, and cooperation were especially visible. Trust was built among the members, communication was open and effective, and everyone supported and helped each other. However, the element of common values was missing in this community, as individuals had different priorities and perspectives.
