Photo credits to phistar.com Photo credits to abscbn.news.com Photo credits to dreamstime.com The images above show different realities in many communities in the urban areas like Pasig City. Are they common in your community too? What are the reasons behind the differences in the activities each individual play in the community? Every community presents multi-faceted and very complicated social realities but each community is unique. DEFINITION OF TERMS: 1. Community. A dynamic social grouping whose members settle in a specific geographical space, submit to a common political institution, engage in socio-economic activities and share common cultural views.

In general view there are three types of communities namely: a. Geographical community – as stated earlier it is basically a group of people occupying a definite physical space within which the people do their social activities and functions. b. Community of identity – representing various kinds of differentiations such as gender, ethnicity or physical abilities. c. Community of interests – composed of people sharing common interests like artists, pet lovers, sports enthusiasts, musicians among others. However, in this module we will be focusing more on the geographic community since it play hosts to the other communities. 2. Community Dynamics – consist of the structures that function and interact with each other creating a process that bring changes to the community as manifested in the ways of life of the people. The interactions may also cause changes in the structures themselves. Education which fall under the cultural structure is an effective agent of change in any communities (source: economist.com) Illustration 1: Showing how the interactions of the different community structure affect the people of the community (photo credit to manilachannel.com) 3. Community Action – includes various activities aimed at empowering people towards becoming active contributors to the community building process. Community actions may come in different modalities. Illustration 2: Different community action modalities contributing to the community development process. POWER UP YOUR MIND. READ!!! The Philippines has undergone rapid urbanization which continues to this day. From 2000- 2010 the urban population increased at an annual average of 3.3%, making it one of the fastest urbanizing countries in the Asia-Pacific. In the last 50 years the urban population has increased by over 50 million, and in 2050 102 million people (over 65% of the total population) will reside in cities (World Bank 2017a). In 2010, 41.9 million of the Philippines’ population of 92.3 million lived in urban areas (Philippines Statistics Authority 2013)1 , cities accounted for over 70% of GDP, and the seven largest urban areas hosted 54% of formal jobs (World Bank 2017a).

Applied Social Sciences – are disciplines or occupations that utilize perspectives and theories developed by experts in various fields of social sciences for application to different situations in the daily lives of an individual or a community. Considered under this category are professions in social work, counseling, journalism, economics, political science and psychology. Social workers determine who are qualified to receive cash assistance from the government, based on the information collected from the people (source: Philippine News Agency) Let’s talk about COMMUNITY DYNAMICS Community is a group of people who, since they share common physical space, are bound to establish patterns of interactions, beliefs and practices which lead to the formation of socio-cultural, political and economic structures that influenced the everyday life of the people. There are communities in which the absence of common social characteristics is very evident in the way of life of the residents and they are often located in urban areas. Economic opportunities in urban communities encouraged migration of people from different provinces, although there are also others who came from nearby localities or barangays. These people bring with them different norms that further complicate the already diverse social environment. Migrations make it difficult for a community to progress into one cohesive social organization. Migration – refers to the movement of a person from one geographical location to another. It can be internal in which change of residence happen within the country or external in which a person migrates to another country. Every community manifests a need to have one institution that will establish and maintain order within all forms of social interactions and relations. Conflicting views about almost everything, which is just normal in a community of human beings, could cause problems to the inhabitants if there are no set of standards for behavior. There is no guarantee that everyone will perfectly abide by those standards which is why communities tend to complement their rules with corresponding sanctions for defiant behaviors. Interactions within the community take different forms. These interactions are relative to socio-economic status, gender, age, blood relationships, political and religious views among others. And they are responsible to the many changes that occur in the community. Different kinds of interactions are taking place in the picture. Can you cite some of them? (Photo source: restreets.org) ACTIVITY Direction: Review all important words discussed or mentioned in Lesson 1 and take on the challenge with this crossword puzzle. WRAP-UP That’s a very productive start up to this subject. Before you proceed to the next module give yourself a little time to assess how much you’ve gone in the first module. What makes your community different from the community of identity and community of interest? How did the different social interactions contribute to the development of you community? VALUING After completing this module I hope you can find time to reflect on how much you know about your community. Being a member makes you responsible to the community development process. More so with your situation as a senior high school student and already positioning yourself for a college degree or an employment. How do you see yourself after 10 years? Are you still in your present community? Or are you an active contributor to the community building process? I hope you can share your answers to your parents or any members of your household.
