VII. DISCUSSION
“Community Engagement” becomes possible through the social trust, cooperating, functional coalitions, and effective
partnership.
It is vehicle to affect societal changes because it mobilizes, resources, influences systems and strengthens social
relationships.
It is an overarching sentiment of mutual support, trust, and harmony among individuals within a group.
Through solidarity, community deepen their responsibilities and roles, in light of their collective interests.
“Without” solidarity, members of the community tend to act individually, disunited and stop from being collectively engaging
each other.
The purpose of solidarity is to build our movement, and to embody our mutual care and concern for justice. Solidarity works
best when we respect each other's differing needs and life circumstances, understand that there are many ways of being
in solidarity, and co-ordinate our responses.
Characterizes the relationship between a citizen and a political community. This indicated the by a citizen’s involvement in the
state affairs, with respect to its economic and social processes, institutions, laws, rights, and responsibilities.
Based on the conceptualizations of citizenship, we can say that as citizens, just we have rights we also have duties and
responsibilities to the community with specific goals and purposes.
A good and responsible citizen, therefore, is one who contributes to the community’s well-being through community
engagement.
A. SOCIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE
Collective action points toward the capacity of communities to act and behave as a social unit.
it emphasizes on the intervention for forging and strengthening interrelationship among individual within a community.
SOCIOLOGY examines how community collectively identifies their problem, decide on the course of action and assess
whether or not their actions have led to their well-being.
B. ANTROPHOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE
Lends insight to the local history and culture of a community as factors of community action.
This perspective implies that the most valid source of community action is the community itself.
ANTROPHOLOGY puts forward te view1 that solutions to community problems should be appropriate to the experience and
identity of the community.
AS A PRODUCT
