Strengthening Community

Strengthening Community
There are numerous changes that challenge the community to adapt. These can arise from violence at home, and they can follow one person to their school and workplace. Furthermore, new forms of communication, such as social media, when used inappropriately, can negatively affect the community. However, I believe that it is possible for an individual to take action and intervene to help strengthen the community. Strengthening the community can be started at home, advancing to the school, workplace or to any other forms of community like churches and other social groups. Social media which is a powerful communication tool, if positively utilized, can also help strengthen the community. Strengthening a community can be started at home since family is the basic unit of the society. It is where people first learn how to communicate, behave and interact with other people. Parents should be good role models. Children should be properly disciplined, and open communication should be encouraged. These will develop the resiliency among children which will help them adapt to the changing environment. Giving good, positive and peaceful environment to children will also give them the strong foundation that will guide them as they grow to be a mature, responsible individual that is beneficial to the community.
Good foundation at home will provide students with high morale and sense of responsibility to create and maintain a peaceful, safe environment. These will result in a pleasant school atmosphere that will give motivation to the students to focus on their goal. Discipline, open communication and good relationship with a co-worker can also strengthen the community. Bullying, which can happen in school or at work should not be tolerated. Nowadays, there are many anti-bullying campaigns which give people awareness to these issues. There are also many organizations in the community which can be public, private and nonprofit including churches or other
