A '''collective''' is a group of people who share or are motivated by at least one common issue or interest, or work together on a specific project(s) to achieve a common objective. Collectives are also characterised by attempts to share and exercise [[political power|political]] and [[power (sociology)|social]] power and to make decisions on a [[consensus]]-driven and [[egalitarianism|egalitarian]] basis. Collectives differ from [[cooperative]]s in that they are not necessarily focused upon an economic benefit or saving (but can be that as well).
A [[Commune (intentional community)|commune]] or [[intentional community]], which may also be known as a "collective household", is a group of people who live together in some kind of dwelling or residence, or in some other arrangement (eg. sharing land). Collective households may be organized for a specific purpose (eg. relating to business, [[parenting]], or some other shared interest).
[[Collective consciousness]] is a term created by [[France|French]] social theorist [[Émile Durkheim]] that describes how an entire [[community]] comes together to share similar values.
The term collective is sometimes used to describe a species as a whole, for example the ''[[human collective]]''.
