 What I Need To Know

This module focuses on the value of undertaking community action

modalities and acknowledge interrelationship of self and community in
undertaking community action. The concept of human person or personhood
is introduced. The understanding of self precedes community action.
Otherwise, it’s mere compliance without any meaning at all. Become active to
community action without understanding personhood is just a nuisance.

Community action modalities is a reflection of trait of human person as social

being. It’s the capability to reach out and interact with others and the world.

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. Discuss human person as social being;
2. Analyze relationship of self and community; and
3. Recognize the importance of undertaking community action modalities.

What’s In

In the previous lesson, we try to differentiate as much as we could the

typologies of communities. Knowledge of typologies of communities helps us
to understand that each community is distinct yet forging together makes
communities stronger.

Identify the 3 historical figure by countries, what are they fighting for and
what means they employ to get the desired result. Answer in a sheet of paper

fighting for ________
by means of
__________.
 I am from

___________

I am from
_____ fighting

means of
______

1. Are there similarities in the cause they are fighting for and the means
employed?
2. Can their action be a perfect model for community action modality?

What Is It

As we have the first illustration - the big fish and the smaller school of fish,
it appears that the scenario presented is antagonistic, contentious and in
polarity. Why don’t we bring the big fish and smaller group of fish together in
a dialogue ? The second scenario using the 3 historical figures appears to be
dialogical , in a non-violent way.
 At this point, some scenarios are presented to analyze community
action modalities. Analyze each picture and questions are given for reflection.
There is no need to answer in a sheet of paper, simply for reflection.

Picture 1

This picture shows a beggar asking some coins.

1.What have you observed? Is it right to give him a
coin? By doing so, are you helping him?
2. Would you give him some coins? By giving him,
Is he helped really? Are you not making him
dependent on you?

Picture 2

This shows a child in the garbage site for a living.

1. Would you help her in education?
2. Are you taking the responsibility of parents for
the education of the child?

Picture 3

It’s a Chinese saying ` Teach them how to

fish’
1. Is it not our goal to help people help
themselves?

Picture 4

It’s Christ word in the Bible that says love your neigbour
as yourself.
1. That I in neighbors, neighbors in ME, Is it not solidarity?
Picture 5

It’s the famous saying of Socrates: ` The unexamined life is

not worth living ‘
1. Is it not that word the very foundation of any
undertakings?

In community action modality, in our fight for social justice, there is a

way to go through it by educating people in the way of dialogue, not allowing
people to be dependent on others as if they can’t do something for themselves.
It’s by treating others as my brothers and sisters and examining our lives in
fullness, then, community action has a value and and meaning in a deepest
sense.
