There are many problems right now in our community. Some of these problems can be easily
solved or can be impossible to solve depending on how bad it is. Many people think these
problems should be solved by the governments since they are in charge. But we can also solve
these problems if we get together. Not all the problems, but some that can be solved. We
interviewed five persons and ask them what problem they observed in our community. They
observed that the problem in our community today is throwing garbage in the street, lack of a job,
drug addict, early pregnancy, and a riot.

As we look around the streets of Phase 1E what we are most likely to see are the piles of trash
on every corner of the street. People have gotten used to disposing of their trash the “easy way”,
which is throwing them wherever they want to throw them. In solution to the community's
environmental problem is to motivate people and to promote the importance of going green.
Second problem, scarcity of job opportunities and, in some cases, lack of job openings remains
to be the biggest issue that confronts in our community. The solution for lack of job
opportunities, of course, to create new job for them and to improve their skills constantly.

Third, drug addiction has always been common in our community but we can prevent it by
decide to make a change and find support for addiction recovery. Fourth, teen pregnancy is one
of the problems in our community for several reasons. For example, there are health risks for the
baby and children born to teenage mothers are more likely to suffer health, social, and emotional
problems. I think that if there were a closer bond in family communication, the rate of teenage
pregnancy would be reduced. If teenagers knew that they could go to their parents and talk about
sex without getting the "third degree," they would probably be more aware of their options.
Lastly, riots in our community especially at night that makes our neighbors started to take a
move because it was a big disturbant to them. In all, government needs assessment to identify the
strengths and resources available in the community to meet the needs of children, youth, and
families.
