ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS AS A GUIDE IN YOUR PRESENTATION IN

DEPICTING A COMMUNITY YOU.

ENVISION. USE THE FORMAT PROVIDED. (20-MINUTE ACTIVITY)

1. WHAT MAKES AN IDEAL COMMUNITY?

A PERFECT SOCIETY IS ONE IN WHICH EVERYONE IS WELCOME. AN IDEAL SOCIETY IS

DEFINED BY A SAFE HAVEN FOR ITS CITIZENS AND A TRUSTWORTHY SOCIAL

STRUCTURE. PROJECTS IN THE COMMUNITY TO MAKE IT MORE LIVABLE,

ENJOYABLE, AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY. IT'S A PLACE WHERE RACE,

SEXUAL ORIENTATION, AND ETHNICITY ARE IRRELEVANT. EVERYONE IS WELCOME

TO COME TO RELIGIOUS SERVICES, EDUCATIONAL EVENTS, AND RECREATIONAL

ACTIVITIES. A COMMUNITY WHERE GENERATIONS OF FAMILIES ARE PROUD OF

THEIR HOMETOWN, CHERISH THE ENVIRONMENT, AND VOLUNTEER IN THE

COMMUNITY.

A COMMUNITY IS DEFINED AS A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO ENJOY THEIR

SURROUNDINGS AND WORK TO ENHANCE THEM. IN THIS ARRANGEMENT, PEOPLE OF

VARIED MOBILITY LEVELS CAN GET ALL THEY NEED. A PERFECT COMMUNITY IS

MADE UP OF PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE SAME AREA YET HAVE DIVERSE SKILLS AND

ABILITIES.
2. WHAT IS THE ROLE OF EACH INSTITUTION/ COMMUNITY PARTICIPANTS IN THE

ESTABLISHMENT OF PEACEFUL AND ORDERLY COMMUNITY?

THE SUCCESS OF COMMUNITY POLICING DEPENDS ON THE MAINTENANCE OF A

PEACEFUL AND ORDERLY ENVIRONMENT. PARTICIPANTS IN COMMUNITY POLICING,

FOR EXAMPLE, ARE EXPECTED TO WORK CLOSELY WITH LOCAL COPS. EACH

NEIGHBORHOOD HAS ITS OWN SET OF BYLAWS, AS DOES EACH MUNICIPALITY. A

GROUP OF ESTABLISHMENTS OF ONE'S OWN. CONSTITUTIONS, UNWRITTEN LAWS,

AND CODES OF CONDUCT EXIST, AS DO CULTURES, BELIEFS, EXPECTATIONS, AIMS,

HIERARCHIES, GOALS, AND POLICIES, BOTH FORMAL AND INFORMAL. INSTITUTIONS

THAT BRING COMMUNITY MEMBERS TOGETHER EACH INSTITUTION/PARTICIPATION

SERVES AS THE FOUNDATION FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A PEACEFUL AND

HARMONIOUS COMMUNITY.

3. HOW DO YOU RELATE EACH COMMUNITY PARTICIPANT WITH THE

ATTAINMENT OF THE COMMON VISION OF? THE PEOPLE THERE AT?

THE COMMUNITIES SHARE COMMON VALUES AND VISIONS WHICH I CAN RELATE AS

A WHOLE. MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY MUST COLLABORATE IN ORDER TO

ACHIEVE THE COMMUNITY'S OBJECTIVES. INDIVIDUAL AND COMMUNAL INTERESTS

CAN BE COMBINED BY THOSE PRESENT IN ORDER TO EMPOWER COMMUNITY

MEMBERS TO ACHIEVE A COMMON AIM OF WORKING WITH THE GOVERNMENT.

4. WHAT ARE THE ASPIRATIONS/INTERESTS DO THE COMMUNITY PARTICIPANTS

HAVE?
WHEN PEOPLE HAVE WELL-CRAFTED COMMUNAL AMBITION CHANCES, IT ACTS AS A

"NORTH-STAR" FOR COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES AND ENSURES THAT THE

COMMUNITY'S NEEDS ARE SATISFIED, THEIR HEARTS AND MINDS ARE AWAKENED

TO NEW POSSIBILITIES. THE COMMUNITY'S INTERESTS REMAIN A FOCAL POINT IN

THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SHARED AGENDA. COMMON GOALS AND A STRONG

FEELING OF COMMUNITY CREATE A "LARGE TENT" IN WHICH A DIVERSE GROUP OF

INDIVIDUALS CAN GATHER. PEOPLE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO SOLVE A PROBLEM.

SMALL SUCCESSES ALONG THE PATH TO A COMMON GOAL COULD PILE UP. BE

COMMUNICATED AND SHARED, RESULTING IN A CONTAGIOUS SENSE OF

BENEVOLENCE.
