LESSON

Relating Knowledge on COMMUNITY DYNAMICS AND ACTION TO A CAREER A

STUDENT MAY PURSUE IN THE FUTURE

Career in Education

Teachers shape the future of every society through the students they develop
from the young age until they finish college. However, graduating young individuals
into becoming significant contributors to the community development process is not
an easy task.

Finishing college and getting a career does not automatically transform an

individual into productive member of the community. There is still the question of
character whether that young professional will become relevant to the community
building or will only be pursuing a personal and self-serving goals.

Career in Tourism

Tourism industry is one of

the thriving industries in the
country and in other parts of the
world today. Students who would
like to venture in this line of work
must have extensive knowledge of
the geography, history, culture as
well as the different laws that define
the limitations on any tourism
activities in a particular place. Photo credits to experiencephilippines.org

Career in Law Enforcement

A police officer deals not just in arresting and jailing

criminals but also in ensuring that crimes will not happen. As
the saying goes “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of
cure.” Police officers’ work will be easier when there are no
criminals on the streets.
 It will be easier for a
community to prevent criminality
also by eradicating any form of
abusive behavior against a person or
property which triggers criminal acts.
The policemen can help the
community if they have broad
understanding of human behavior
and relations. But of course law
enforcers must also be aware of the
laws and the concept of justice to be
effective in their job.

Career in Business

Even if a student decides to go for
a career in business there are still laws
on commerce that they have to take into
consideration to be able to stay in the
business for long. A good
businessperson should also know how
to determine consumers’ needs and
buying capacity.

Advertisers convince customers

to shift from their old buying habits into
patronizing new products. Equally important also for every individual in business to
have a deep sense of commitment to social responsibility to enable them to play their
game fair and square with the competitors and the consumers.

Career in Health Sciences

Health workers deal with people and therefore should be
good in handling different behaviors and attitude such as the
fear of anything related to medical procedures. There are cases
in which community people cling to traditional beliefs in caring
for their sick relatives. The health professional need to be
sensitive enough to the cultural orientations of people in order
to get them to trust scientific approaches as a way of dealing
with community health issues.

Career in Information Technology

Information technology practitioners should be well versed with laws that

govern the IT industry as well as the moral and behavioral standards of the society.
Social media have great influence to people nowadays most especially the youngsters.
Therefore, IT experts must know the limits on what kind of information should be
made available for public consumption. They must ensure that no rights will be
abused and no cultural views will be disrespected.

IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY DYNAMICS AND COMMUNITY ACTION

There are available readings on customs, practices and laws that govern any
form of human-to-human and human-to-institution relationships at the community
level. Professionals and non-professional community enablers alike can browse on
those reading materials from books and journals. A great volume can also be
accessed any time they want from a lot of online platforms.

However, customs, traditional practices and laws are not just compilation of
words but also a collection of concepts and principles based on human experiences.
The best way to understand them is to see firsthand how they operate and applied
in actual day-to-day activities of people.

By being actively engaged in any community actions a person will be able to

see how the dynamics of the community operate. And discover why some people defy
norms and others cling to their traditional beliefs even in the urban centers and at
the era of cyber technology.

WRAP-UP

Let’s hope that your social skills will really help you fit in in any work that you
are going to pursue in the future. But before we end up can you please do a little
reflection and try to figure out the answer to this question. Why is plain knowledge
of theories which you can get from printed reading materials and digital platforms
not enough to get you to succeed in your future career goals?

VALUING

As one of those considered as the hope of this nation you have the duties and
responsibilities to your community. Whatever career you will pursue always bear in
mind the lessons given to us by our experiences during the Covid19 health crisis.
Where social stratification has been eradicated and everyone became possible victim
to the disease. Many lost their source of livelihood and now they are at the mercy of
the government and those who are generous enough to share little of what they were
able to save.
