1st Activity: Assessing and a finding Solutions to Community Problems


1. List some of the specific problems facing the people of your community.
Poverty and Homelessness.

Climate Change.

Overpopulation.

Immigration Stresses

Civil Rights and Racial Discrimination

Gender Inequality

Health Care Availability

Childhood Obesity.

 Adolescent pregnancy, access to clean drinking water, child abuse and neglect, crime,
domestic violence, drug use, pollution, mismanagement of resources, lack of funding for
schools and services, ethnic conflict, health disparities, HIV/ AIDS, hunger, inadequate
emergency services

2. Why should these problems be solved? Give some suggestions.


I would say that the individual relies more on the community that him/herself. The Filipinos
thrive in clusters of family that includes immediate family and all the extended families some
even to the fourth degree, and this is good for the general well being of a person but what
happens is that the person could sometimes be too reliant on the community for help that they
dont make an effort to sustain themselves, this promotes laziness. For those who do make
the effort and are able to keep a job and earn a decent living the pressure to provide for the
rest of the clan is high so they can’t really go too far in life if they keep providing for those who
wont work, others just avoid the family altogether by not coming back if there abroad.

3. If you were a municipal councilor or barangay official, what measures would you introduce
to improve the social conditions of the people in your community?
There shall also be in every Barangay a Lupong Tagapamayapa. The Sangguniang Barangay
may form community brigades and create such other positions or offices as may be deemed
necessary to carry out the purposes of the Barangay government in accordance with the
needs of public service, subject to the budgetary limitations on personal services
