What is It
(Discussion)
Lesson 1: Importance of Understanding Community Dynamics

and Community Action
A community is a socially operative whole. A body of people bound to a

common social structure which function as a specific entity and which is unique from
each other. The fact that they live in the same norms and within the same social
organization, they have the sense of belongingness.
Community dynamics is a natural phenomenon because community changes

and develops. The people living in a community stimulate growth, improvement, or
modification within a system or process. A community that is dynamic shows
progress and growth. But we must take note that communities have problems and
the people within the community are affected. It is through voluntary acts and
community participation that people can help each other.

Community action is an activity which motivates people to help other people
because of the understanding to be engaged and this is empowered through the
delivery and partnership of local services. It can be described as ‘social action' or
‘community engagement'. It is helping out the community to move and develop its
local services. It involves the community to design and deliver services that can help
to achieve community resilience, capacity building, prevention, and maintaining and
creating wealth.
Your career is a very important aspect for the development of your

community. It is where you spend your life working to help others and the
community you are in. It is very necessary for a person to seriously choose a career
that is suitable for his skills and talents to face the responsibilities given to him.
Career needs a kind of balance to keep with your life and your responsibilities. Some
of the career options that can lead to community actions are guidance and
counseling, social work, and communication.
