The Concept Of Community Building

By Elinor Tran


Most Societies flourish in an atmosphere where sorrow, joy and other emotions are constantly experienced. Members of these societies share these feelings freely with one another. This sharing develops a sense of belonging to each member of the society and thus various communities springs up as result. This process of community building has greatly improved with the emergency of the internet.

Folks who live in the same geographic area form a civilization. Such a grouping develops its own rules and ideals to live by. This explains the presence of different societies on every part of the globe that have different dialects and beliefs. It also sheds some light on the origin of such communities. However, today the internet has brought the societies of the world close together, into what is termed as the global village.

Each person has a sense of society that lies within the heart. This as a whole contributes to the peace of the society at large. Division of labor, collaboration and creation of relations are some of the factors that help in creating peaceful environment characterized with intimacy, accord and unity. Such sense of society greatly helps in nurturing a feeling of nationalism and global cooperation.

A feeling of closeness lies in every heart of every person. This springs from the care and dependency factor among people. Since childhood, we have lived in an environment where taking care of others is prominent be it family members, relatives or friends. This creates a need of closeness that helps in community building. The social media over the internet has profusely achieved this on global scale.

Division of labor leads to dependency on other people working in different areas and at varied roles. The internet has a global reach and through this media, it is now possible to share ideas and knowledge on any topic. All these individuals playing a role fall into a civilization without which life would be very difficult. Division of labor is necessary for an intelligent and functional civilization.

The very essence of civilization springs from the idea of cooperation. This sense of cooperation begins at home and develops to national, regional or global integration. It is a strong feeling of closeness with one another. A society lives by association with one another. This plays a very significant role in making a vibrant and lively civilization. A perfect balance of these factors contributes to progressive community building while an imbalance will lead to chaos and disruption of peace.
