collectivities

Bodies of members

Collectivities is the plural of collectivity—groups of people considered as unified wholes rather than as individuals.

The term appears in sociology and political theory: The rights of collectivities sometimes conflict with individual rights.

A collectivity might be a nation, community, corporation, or any group acting with shared identity or purpose.
