What is It

5
NegOr_Q3_CESC/HUMSS12_Module5_v2
 John Donne said it best: “No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a
piece of the continent, a part of the main.”

We cannot live independently at all-times, and this is the universal truth that
nobody exists on its own. We need someone and community care so that we can
perform well, rise to challenges, and overcome obstacles. Therefore, this lesson
acknowledges the Community Action Initiatives and Interrelationship of Self and
Community as mutually symbiotic from each other, for one grows with the help of the
other.

Community Action includes a broad range of activities and is sometimes

described as “social action” or “community engagement.” These activities can vary in
their objective, the role the community plays, the types of activities involved, their
scale and their integration within the council. What they have in common is that they
all involve greater engagement of local citizens in the planning, design and delivery
of local services. Voluntary advocacies just like giving personal time to projects in
humanitarian NGO’s or religious groups are forms of community involvement. The
engagement is generally motivated by values and ideals of social justice. Community
engagement can be volunteering at food banks, homeless shelters, emergency
assistance programs, neighbourhood clean-up programs, etc.

“The interrelationship between self and community can be seen through the
principle of common good. The needs of the people are met when the community
contribute in common good.”

Securing the common good would defend upon the existence of virtuous citizens.
By Niccolo di Bernardo dei Machiavelli

in the community, and to show concern for others and the environment?
