What I Need To Know
This module deals with typologies of communities. To get into types of
communities is indispensable as we engage into the world of complexities.
Some may label associations, clubs and other groups as communities.
Communities may have a higher degree of nobility in living in a community
life. The module also attempts to differentiate the typologies of communities
as what guiding principles that forming them into cohesion.
After going through this module, you are expected to:
1. Give the meaning of community;
2. Differentiate and discuss typologies of communities ; and
3. Appreciate values shared by the communities for communitarian
development
What’s In
In the previous lesson particularly in community processes, there are
some communities appear to be deviant from the norms and values as held by
the majority or by the oldies. There are some communities appear to be
ideologically oriented whose worldviews different from what common people
hold and believe in. It is then rightfully correct to say that we are in the world
of plurality of communities. This new topic comes in - typologies of
communities.
Below are the pictures that serve as an examples of types of
communities.
A.MUSLIM COMMUNITY

to take more than one wife.

What’s New
At this point, you get to understand now that there are communities
different from communities you are connected to. How do you feel that others’
beliefs and practices are different from what you believe in? Are you
confrontational? imposing ? discriminating? or are you respectful? Tolerant?
Liberal-minded? Are you into attitude that we agree to disagree? Or to
disagree to agree ?

accommodation. It displays a lifestyle purely of traditional way. Amish
community is presented to you. Read this article in silence with

arrived in the early 18th century to escape religious persecution in
Europe and to find land to farm.It’s founded by Jakob Amman, a
Swish minister who believed that the adherents should `conform to
the teachings of Christ; and ` forsake the world ’in their daily lives.
The word Amish derived from his name. Amish lives in farming,
forbids owning automobiles, tapping electricity from public utility
lines, using self-propelled farm machinery, owning a television,
