Lesson Proper:
SOCIAL SCIENCE PERSPECTIVE
Social Science views community as composed of people interacting with one another sensitive to
each other's emotions, as well as interests and subjective points of view.
‘Social Science’ is an umbrella term for the various fields of study which examine social
relations and human society. Basically, from a social science perspective, a community is
described as a group of people in a particular area interacting together. Social Science has several
fields, including Anthropology, Economics, Political Science, Psychology and Sociology.
Following are basic concepts from each field of the Social Sciences related to the idea of
community:
Anthropology - This field examines the various aspects of humans as their biology, behaviour,
culture and social interactions. It may also study how people adapt their ways of living to
different environments, e.g., determining ways to help a community solve health-related
concerns. This can be addressed by understanding the situation through interacting with the
people in the community connecting its history with its present conditions, and eventually solving
the community's concerns.
Economics - This field studies the production, allocation and consumption of goods and services.
In any community one finds various forms of wealth distribution. The ultimate goal of economics
is to improve the lives of people, such that their needs are satisfied.
Political Science - This field encompasses the various ways and means of allocating power
influence, and decision-making. This includes types of governments and management systems,
and how people in small bands or informal groups make decisions when they do not have a
recognized leader All communities have some form of political system. The members of a
community should understand how its political system works, how power and influence are
distributed (though not always the same way) and what changes occur.
Psychology - This discipline studies the human mind, brain, and social behaviour. This extends
to interactions between people and interpersonal relationships. It comprises a variety of different
subfields including abnormal psychology developmental psychology, cognitive psychology and
social psychology, Psychology in general is most often associated with the study, diagnosis, and
treatment of mental illnesses.
Sociology - This field is the study of society, social order, social interactions and culture. It
introduces the concepts of social capital and communitarianism. Social capital is defined as the
networks of relationships among people who live and work in a particular society for the effective
functioning of the community. The concept of communitarianism explains the connection
between the individual and the community. Every person has a special role in one's society, and
it is part of human nature to relate with other people in various conditions or situations.
INSTITUTIONAL PERSPECTIVE
1
th
The Institutional Perspective views the concept of community in three different dimensions. F
it is an existing establishment or physical space where members of the community go for a
certain purpose. Examples of this are the companies, hospitals, or educational institutions.
Second is the institutional community as a social model. This is defined by networks and
institutions where community groups are formed in certain areas such as schools, churches
companies, and members gather to meet their needs. People join clubs and associations to h
their skills, join religious organizations to deepen their faith, participate in media activities to
improve their communication skills, and meet with friends and family at restaurants to satis
their hunger.
The third dimension is that community is composed of the ways people act, interact with ea
other, react, and expect each other to act and interact. Examples include institutions such a
marriage or friendship, roles such as mother or police officer, status or class, and other patte
of human behaviour. This dimension presents how people act in relation to each other. It
includes their expectations, assumptions, judgments, predictions, responses and reactions. I
perceives patterns of relationships sometimes identified as roles and status, and the formatio
groups and institutions that derive from those patterns. For example, a "father" is both a role
an institution. This explains that in a community, it’s social organization is the sum total of a
those interrelationships and patterns.
CIVIL SOCIETY PERSPECTIVE
The Civil Society perspective stresses the idea of forming a group, or an organization in servi
society. This perspective views society as a community of citizens linked by common interests
collective activity. Examples include people's organizations, civic organizations, and social
movements.
This is considered the affective model of community since a sense of belonging is achieved d
the collaboration of shared interests and identities in serving the humanity. Groups of people
come together regardless of location, and organize plans to render support and assistance to
society.
LOCAL AND GRASSROOTS PERSPECTIVE
This perspective highlights volunteerism. Members of different communities may involve

themselves in various programs or activities. The community uses self-organization and
encourages the local citizens to contribute to the community by taking responsibilities and
actions. Leaders and other members identify the sources of concerns in a local setting and
determine ways to address these problems. Volunteers are mobilized in cooperation with
government decision-makers who will be accountable for their actions. The community also
formulates programs for others, and employs actions according to the needs of the communi

DYNAMICS AND PROCESSES
Community Power
Community power is the capacity of the community to exercise control over activities and see
ways to employ available resources to establish a stronger and successful community.
Leadership
A leader is generally defined as the person who has the responsibility of controlling or taking
charge of a particular group. This important figure will guide the members to carry out the p
in pursuit of the group's objectives. The guidance of a good leader in a group ensures the
coherence of plans and better implementation of programs. In some traditional cultures.
Leadership is hereditary, or passed down from parent to child. There are also people who are
appointed leaders because of their intelligence, wealth, reputation, high status, decision-mak
skills, dictation from laws and policies and connections.
Components in improving leadership in a community:

1. Effective Communication
An open line of communication is highly recommended for leaders and their constituents. Th
should be free access to important information concerning social woes and public matters
2. Development of Social Capital Building Developing a resilient capital is among the mos
important contributors to successful community leadership
3. Community Engagement It is important to encourage young leaders to participate Tra

younger generation of leaders so that they are ready to take over when the time comes
4. Collaboration It is necessary to collaborate across and within communities. Leaders

should learn to build "bridges and cooperate across communities. Develop networks among
community leaders within diverse fields
Relationship
The success of a community will be more meaningful if its members have harmonious
relationships with each other. This is vital for members of both geographical and
nongeographical communities. In forming relationships, persons can give and receive suppor
encouragement praise and information. This can provide feelings of belongingness and
connectedness that most people seek in one way or another regardless of one's belief system,
cultural background or areas of interest.
Social Change
Social change refers to changes that occur in the social order of a society. These changes ma
related to nature, social institutions, social behaviour, or social relations Social change can b
driven by cultural, religious, economics, scientific, or technological forces.

1. Why are identities important in relation to yourself, other people, and society?
