SESSION/DAY 2:
Session 2: What are these words?

Social structures help us define who we are in a society and how we function in that society. Such
things as our race, our economic status, and gender play a role in social structure.

SOCIOPOLITICAL
The definition of sociopolitical is something that involves both social and political factors.
An example of something that is sociopolitical is the issue of environmental conservation, which
is influenced by both social attitudes towards "going green" and by political policies.

Cultural Structures
. Culture refers to the entire way of life of people or group; however, culture can also be defined
in a narrower way as the specific systems of meaning that we use to weigh and consider our
world.
Cultural Structure

ECONOMIC STRUCTURE
Economic structure is a term that describes the changing balance of output, trade, incomes and
employment drawn from different economic sectors – ranging from primary (farming, fishing,
mining etc) to secondary (manufacturing and construction industries) to tertiary and quaternary
sectors (tourism, banking, software

STRUCTURE, DYNAMICS AND TYPES OF COMMUNITIES

WHAT ARE THE 3 STRUCTURES OF COMMUNITY?

Urban and Rural Communities

Urban Community

An Urban Community is a big city or town. It is considered an Urban Community if there are more
than 2,500 people living in the community. Urban communities are often busy and crowded. ...
In Urban communities you will see taller buildings. In cities there are often skyscrapers, which are
very tall buildings.

RURAL Community
A rural community is set outside of the city and towns.
Rural communities are often farm lands. However, a rural community can also be woodland
forests, plains, deserts, and prairies.
There are few buildings, businesses, and people in rural communities. In these communities
people live far apart from one another.

RUral Communities are:

1. It is relatively small in size
 2. It is non Metropolitan
3.It exists in agricultural area

SUB URBAN
Suburban Areas. Suburban areas are lower density areas that separate residential and
commercial areas from one another. They are either part of a city or urban area, or exist as a
separate residential community within commuting distance of a city. As cars became the
dominant way for people to get to work, suburbs grew.

Kinds of Communities

Gemeinschaft: characterized by implicit bonds that relate all community members to the others.
Gesellschaft: characterized by bonds that are both formal and specific.

A second way that communities differ from one another is in the degree of attachment to a
specific location:
Place communities
Nonplace communities

Social Network
Consists of the relationship between pairs of people.
In a social work context, a social network consists of “a set of people all of whom are linked
together, but not all of whom know one another.”
Kinship is a third kind of community in which members have blood relationships.

Barnes’s definition of social network includes a “networking”, goal-oriented social system and
kinship networks.
Nonplace communities and social networks have some geographic connection, even though
members may never convene in one location at one time and do not consider physical location to
be a primary or constant factor.

FUNCTIONS OF COMMUNITY

Energy Functions
The functions the community performs include the maintenance of a way of life or culture.
Another important function is the satisfaction of common needs, interests, and ambitions.
Members of a community must be aware of its “we-ness”.

The term “common cause” was adopted as the name of a national citizen’s action organization
that explicitly recognizes the necessity to involve citizens and to draw upon their energies.
For environment/suprasystem – a community must also meet the needs of its environment in
order to survive.

Religious communities, as examples of Nonplace communities, have also been confronted with
the need to adapt to their environment.

The functions that a community performs for its environment are the energy functions described
in giving, getting, and conserving energy.
The community supplies energy to its environment and its components in the form of persons
and products to be used by those systems.
Professions as Nonplace Communities

When a group carves out for itself a societal function or some part of society’s stock of ideas, it
becomes established as a profession.
The major commonality among the professions is that they are formally legitimated by society to
bring about change that is beneficial to the society and its components, as well as maintain
society.

Community-Dynamics is the process of change and development within communities .

Community Dynamics which strive to bring about positive social change through community-
based programming

Significance
Community Dynamics is here to work with community to think creatively and act strategically so
that community can achieve their goals.
At Community Dynamics, believes that, creative and sustainable programming that works to raise
the quality of living for those most vulnerable to poverty and exploitation.

The culprit is television.

It is suggested that heavy TV watching is one important reason why less educated people are less
engaged in the life of their communities.
One ideological solution to the problem is offered by “communitarianism”.
A philosophy of community that stresses the “social compact” or “social contract” between
persons and the society, and the mutual obligations that community members have to each
other.
