V WHAT IS IT
3
The three modalities of Community Action are Community Engagement,
Solidarity and Citizenship.
Community Engagement
Each member of the community has a role to do and only when those roles
are performed that community functions harmoniously and effectively. Being a
responsible member of the community helps to sustain community's growth and
development. Taking part of serving on committees that focuses on community-
building activities or resolving problems are essential in community action.
The goals of every community vary as communities have different needs.
These needs flow from factors such as the population, accessible resources
available and the environment where the community is based. One common method
towards being updated of the people's concerns is through research. Members of the
community must get involve in interviews, group discussions and surveys. In this
way, community leaders can assess of a possible program to take and/or plot a
solution of observed problems.
Proposals of programs and solutions of issues can only be done by the
members of the community. It is the people that can see and observe what is
happening in their community and it is also them who could get things done. Without
active involvement, problems can never be dealt with and development is stagnant.
To engage means to connect. It is through connecting and networking that we
can voice out beautiful ideas that can be used by all. One must not limit himself or
herself to help and one must not be limited to participate. Everybody must have the
sense of community wherein they feel that they are the ones responsible in making
things works, for them and for their neighbors. "When people share a strong sense
of community they are motivated and empowered to change problems they face, and
are better able to mediate the negative effects over things which they have no
control." (Chavis, D. & Wandersman, A. 2002) This is the true image of community
engagement.
Solidarity
It is easier to relate to people when we strip off our titles, positions, and
possessions. People get intimidated when faced by someone who is famous, genius
or rich. They tend to look up to them and see others or themselves as inferior. When
that happens, treatment to each other are not the same anymore. In community
building, everybody must be given the chance to contribute and be heard.
Solidarity must defy boundaries. Race, gender, wealth and other factors that
could create segregation must be eradicated. Community members must work as
one. Everybody must be given equal opportunity to experience what their community
could offer. Sense of community must be present. What one thinks is bad for their
neighbors must think that it is bad for themselves. And what one thinks is enjoyable
for them must be shared to their neighbors.
Unity is needed for survival. It is a key for success and without it, failure is
inevitable. A united community means a safer community. When people can see that

their rights and welfare are protected, they will make sure to sustain the programs
that brings forth such safety and assurance. They, themselves, will help maintain it
and strive to connect with people through communication.
Citizenship
"A citizen is a member of a political community who enjoys the rights and
assumes the duties of membership." (SEP 2006) It is the people that the community
serves and it is also the people who makes a community as one. The heart of
existence of a community is the people. They are the agents that brought relevant
changes to our political economic system.
To enjoy rights set for a person, one must also follow laws set for people's
welfare. There are ten (10) qualities of a good citizen according to Quizlet.com:
1. Respects the rights and properties of others
2. Respects and obeys the laws of the land
3. Take part in and improve life in his community
4. Take an active part in the government
5. A responsible family member
6. Loyal to his country and proud of his accomplishments
7. Uses natural resources wisely
8. Believes in equal opportunities for all people
9. Well informed on important issues and is willing to take a stand on these issues
when conscience demands it
10. Respects individual differences, point of view, and acknowledges that ways of life
are different from his own
Man's freedom will always have an equivalent responsibility. This
responsibility will honor his rights as a citizen of the country and in the community he
or she belongs.
