General Statement:
A local community is characterized as a collection of individuals residing in a shared location who share goals, resources, needs,
and issues. Problems are unavoidable because these groups are made up of individuals from different backgrounds. Problems can
originate in families and then spread to become community issues. To prevent a larger chaos every issue must be resolved. While
challenges can vary by region, there are some common concerns that can help leaders and members identify the most pressing
issues in the majority of communities. Since many people are unaware of the issue facing our society, we should spread awareness
of it.

The problems we have with our safety, health, and environment affect economic growth and sustain the circle of preexisting
problems. Unresolved conflicts have a tendency to fuel the growth of new issues that could raise health care expenditures, keep
people from working, and jeopardize the safety of the local community.
