It takes a village to raise a child and I certainly believe that. Many children in Africa are raised in villages.
Villages also signify togetherness, a group of people living as one- sharing beliefs and moral standards, etc.

Village is a concept that can survive mass suburbanization, provided we can isolate our neighborhoods into discrete units … or “villages” in a sense. I think that by fostering that sense of tribalism, village-ism, neighborhood-ism (whatever one wants to call it) we can claw back some of the lost personableness and civility that seems to be fading with each successive generation.

A little town full of people that often know each other very well. Known in culture from “The Village People” wich was a group.

“Let’s go!” shouted Allyson, tugging my hand as she raced down the beaten cobblestones, the path that ran through the center of the village.
I had no idea where she wanted to take me. We getting farther and farther from our homes, the tattered thatched roofs becoming more sparse.
Angela
I once lived in a village. It was the most interesting place that I have ever seen. Not because of the buildings or the sights to see but because it was a simple village. Free of high towers and busy bodies.
Diana Luu
It takes one, but what kind of village is it if all that abide within are not centered on a singular purpose? More like a bazaar than a village really, in terms of practicality.
angela
the place one finds often when one visits to India… they are like a trademark of the country….

I remember I was back at my village just about a month ago. And indeed it was a relieving experience, not being there there for over ten years now, damn! It really does feel good to get back in touch with ur roots.

I’ve been to Bethel
A village in Alaska

Smoke came out of one of the houses down in the valley. We climbed down but nobody was there, we haven’t seen a single one. I called Peter on his mobile, no answer. Then, we got closer to one of the houses.

if you live in a village, you might carry water in a jug on the top of your head. little villages in mexico. there are donkeys and sheep and goats. Everyone meets at the water hole to talk about the day and gossip.
Mandy
IT TAKES A VILLAGE…TO DO WHAT? TO RAISE A CHILD, TO OFFER COMMUNITY, TO GIVE US A SENSE OF BELONGING AND PLACE. TO ALLOW US TO CONTINUE OUR SPECIES AND TO EXPERIENCE THE THINGS WHICH MAKE US HUMAN AND OFFER CONTENTMENT.
skipsy
the young people love it there. It is home to them although they did never live there. I don’t love it. It is my home. I want to get away to the city and see everything. The village has nothing for me.
Carrie Gray
it takes a village was written by stupid feminist idiot. yes it does take a village to raise a child,ut the feminist manifesto is trying to take kids away from their [arents and put them in the hands of the state. I will leave the oountry before someone takes my kids.
Sam
When it burned down to the ground the people who had called it home undertook a mass exodus to a new land. Mothers carried babies on their backs, fathers pulled the donkeys. There was no hope in their eyes, but they walked on. They could have rebuilt the village, but the land was cursed. The elders said it was time to start somewhere new.
Who Knows?
the village was waking up from a deep slumber. Everyone was sleeping. It was not a remote village in the desert. Yet what had happened in last one week was sufficient to make it.
The year was 1945 and the people were tired and were sleeping over after the war.
nishant
a small place where people live together in a close knitted community where there are all necessary amenities in close proximity. a place removed from the vices and bad things of big ciuties and the modern world. a place where people will feel safer and a nice place to relax and feel closer to nature and the outdooors unaltered by pollution.
silvia
the village is a great movie where all the plot is solved until the end, very recomendable, incredible colors, incredible plot, incredible music, its a huge leap in the cinema standards. I love the part when they take the hands together
Irving
A village
A oil tank spillage
A small collection of huts
A place where there is no if and but

what ever happened to the village people? did they all die of AIDs? god, what a long time ago they were. before the apocalypse of aids, back when it was daring and strange to admit publicly that you were gay; i remember my mother’s shock when she realized that they were more than just cute boys dressing up in funny costumes.
janet
The word village reminds me of the site travian.com and it’s other site for the UK travian.co.uk. The word village also makes me think about medieval times here in England.
Jasmine
has a name and is not on a mountain people live there they are starving they want your help they need you to come to them. they eat mangoes when they can but otherwise have none. life hurts for them they are sticks and skin. they want milk they want your milk they want your life. they want your help they are like culture zombies. life for them is empty they used to live happily until the big boom boom took everything away it is too hard for them to survive. but they are happy sometimes they dance and they sing but only out of desperation. maybe if they sing louder the big boom boom will give everything back.
hannah
When i was growing up there were these tall mango trees. Tall as my little eyes could see. Every morning when I was seven I would sneak out of my bed and walk down to watch the morning sun bounce off of the sea and play with the mango trees.
Cecil Baird
I associate villages with a close community. We often use the phrase “it takes a village” meaning a number of people with a common purpose of doing something. A village would not be such a bad place to live in my opinion. Well, it depends on which village . . .
Justin
very distant
place, far from the madenning crowd and the hustle bustle of the city…….pristine nature at its best, one place were one can unwind the most……truly amazing experience
shantanu
i really wish i could have grown up in a village. living in the suburbs is great and all but i would have much rather grown up in a small village or township. i went to england one summer and spent nine days in a township and i can’t explain how gorgeous it was. so peaceful. villages are very quaint and make you realize that life is special
ashley
The people weep at the town center. Their most beloved children were taken from them the night before. The strangers were disguised in the cloak of darkness. No one had to time to react.
Holly Rae
it takes a village to bury a woman. no one knows her, no one understands her. yet we show up to bring comfort to her children, say words that somehow show her life was important, in spite of the chaos that surrounded her.
we are glad for the gift of her children.

village….ok it’s a shyamalan movie…and i hate it.their are too many villages in india…and it sucks.
av1152
was a terrible movie. reminded me of the giver but the end was surprisingly bad! i think joaquin phoenix was in it. i don’t know that i’ve ever been to a village or what distinguishes it from a town or city?
ileana
I am glad that I don’t live in one. that would require something like an apple stand or farmers market. Today – those sound so dumb. tomorrow – it may sound quaint.
I am in a bad mood today. I am waiting on a good mood. Maybe I should move to a village.
risktakker
there is a village by the sea. there live an old man who smoke a’lot of cigars, the sea near the village is full of sea creature, the creature is life big fish, bigger than elephant, the sea creature dont like the old man because the old man doesnt like the sea either, he wish the sea creature will go away and don’t bug him anymore. but a wish is still a wish the sea creature wont go away. So the old man gather all the people in the village to help him, make the sea creature go away.

Beneath the shadow of Dark Mountain was the village full of sleepy little hamlets, the fishing pier at the cove, and the caves across the corn fields and sugar cane. The caves were long and stretched for miles, and legends surrounded them. The undead supposedly ventured forth from the caves into daylight, into darkness, into the village.
John Miller
it takes a village to raise a child. parents can’t do it all on their own. grandparents aren’t around, even both parents aren’t. they work hard and long hours. caretakers are impersonal and transient. i live in a small town, my village are my friends who are immigrants like me.
hannah
ah yes, the village, the place where people go and never come bac,
the hilary clinton idea that it takes a viallage to raise a child
the place where my village gals were, i love to hear the chiming of my native vialllge bells
i hear them soft and low, come sweeping o’er the plain, with feeling once twas heaven to know, and bliss to feel again, for low I felt wehre music all, the soul with rapture swells. in quiet may we pass our days, with thee my village bells
darrell
The fuckin’ village people were crazy about the fact that they thought that things went horribly wrong with them… They thought bad luck was making a habit of visiting them… Felipe, the spoke to the village people… “Free us from the LOLcats!”
Nick Schlesinger
I really liked the movie “The Village.” A lot of my friends hated it. I don’t know, maybe I’m simple-minded when it comes to movies. But I do know that I liked it better than “The Happening.” That movie scared the heck outta me.
Kate
There are a lot of villages in Alaska. I feel for the villagers because there really isn’t much out there. I hear the suicide rate is astronomical. I guess it’s lame to feel bad for them though, I’m sure they’re proud of what they do, it’s like a rich person feeling bad for a homeless guy, Just kind of lame…doesn’t help anything…I don’t know, I’d never want to live out there.
Travis Evans
The village is movie made by m night shyamlan. quite disappointing, compared to his earlier movies. very stereotype. A village on the other hand brings to my mind images of dried cow dung, livestock running around
Dhiraj
the village at the bottom of my ass is a bit too big to be there and also the inhabitants in it are very irritating, as they keep popping out their heads and scratching my butt. it is a pretty good feeling to have a village of your own to fall back upon.
