I recently noted that I felt Community is paramount to humans’ well-being and deep-rooted happiness.
In identifying some the personal benefits of belonging to a Community like Inclusiveness, Acceptance, Support and Comradery my quest for understanding and emulating Community continues to grow.
But what contributions and considerations are required of individual members to help create a harmonious Community?
Living in a community means embracing certain values and behaviours that help create a sense of harmony, cooperation, and a great quality of life for everyone.
While community sizes and types widely vary there are a number of common denominators that contribute towards creating a safe, supportive, and thriving community. They include:·
Having Respect for Others
Demonstrating a Shared Responsibility
Promoting Safety and Security
A Civic Responsibility to participate in decision making processes
Environmental Stewardship to respect nature and protect the local environment
Foster an environment of Inclusiveness, Support those in need and offer help to the vulnerable
Accountability and responsibility for personal actions and their impact on others
Calm and constructive Conflict Resolution
Active Participation in community activities and initiatives
I absolutely support and endeavour to exemplify these traits and actions daily, count me in!
So what is the future of Community?
Urbanisation, as does technology with the advent of Virtual Communities, present both opportunities and challenges. How do we get this right?
