Briefly discuss the following.

1. What is a cooperative?
✓ it is an organization run by its members who work together for the
common goal. And also, it doesn't mean that cooperation must only be
with members but actually also for the member of a society although
they're not part of us in a cooperative, but as part of a society and we
build cooperative to have a better future, don’t we?

2. Which one of the cooperative principles is the most important? Least important?
Why?
✓ every member need education and training. because we know that
most cooperatives are farmers. so, they need to have knowledge and
training so that they know what they are doing and when it comes to
jobs they are not left behind. Training and information help the member
to incorporate the latest pricing, new varieties, and technology.

3. What do the universally accepted principles of cooperatives say about

cooperative membership?
✓ For me, I’ll choose number 7. Which is concern for community, which
states cooperative work for the sustainable development of their
communities through policies approved by their members, for me, it
really is the best way to help other people as a member. And logically,
it will make other people understand and see how beautiful being a
member is and hopefully they will likely participate and be among with
us.

4. Is cooperative important? Explain

✓ Yes. because it helps people a lot. They help the poorest people in the
community, offering basic needs. You can borrow money from them.
there are many opportunities for them to help the community and
reduce poverty. if you belong to a cooperative you will not have
difficulty, not all the time but, most of it. You are always updated with
new products new innovation e.t.s.
