During my first semester of Introduction to Sociology 1000, we were assigned to do community service for Otterbein University. Otterbein focuses on giving back and having students give back to the community as well. For the past ten weeks, I did my community service at the Promise House, it is located on the first-floor common apartments next to Devore Hall. While walking into the Promise House there is a room of tables for people to sit at, and then there is another room behind it which is the…
I decided to do community service that is more diverse than what I did last year. Last year, I did all of my work at the Newport Beach Public Library. This year, I did three events at Pegasus and one event for the Boy Scouts. My events with Pegasus added up to nine hours, and one hour for the Boy Scouts’ yard sale. I had a lot more fun with community service this year, and I feel that I helped more people, rather than just shelving books. I first did community service at Bookmark Pegasus. I was…

Many people assume that a community is just the people who live in a certain area. In reality, a community is much more than just a population of people.

For me, service means helping someone in need when they do not have a lot of options. But service also mean to give back to the community . As an international student coming from France, I am here in New York and even if it is not my community, I Iive here now and I want to help my new city. So being part of the CUNY Service Corps could really help me embrace my New York life but also help me gain professional experience. I want to be in Service Corps because I really enjoy helping people. Plus…
I tend to think that community is a kind of contradictory state. To exist within one an individual must give of themselves and take parts of the Other with them. It’s a state of back and forth, a contradictory experience that relies on the self and the selves finding some sort of middle ground. All communities have their contradictions, their between-states and undersides, their rights and lefts, their arguments and disagreements, their pocket communities and outsiders, and their core principles…
idea of a sustainable community too many seem far out of reach; however with science and technologies advancing in this new generation, sustainable communities are within our reach. In Scientific American Kaid Benfield describes a sustainable community as one in which pollution, water contamination are things of the past and natural resources are all being used less. Kaid Benfield is the project director of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). The vision of communities with green…
poorly you are doing in other areas. So as a church, the leaders tend to make sure they are up to date and are continually growing in the characteristics or habits established in the church. Some of the characteristics to look at in the church are: community, commotion, commitment, communication, and conversions. From these a church can thrive but can…
there is to do in East Village ‘”Golf was another one because it consisted of using a rod to hit something much, much smaller than yourself and a lot of men in this town enjoyed that sort of thing.”’ (39) Nomi throws a subtle jab at the men in the community who abuse their status over the weaker. It gives the reader an insight to how the world is portrayed by the characters. The irony also provides a way for the reader to connect…
trained citizens to believe. Large urban areas tend to isolate individuals with environments not conducive to community life. On the other hand, small communities allow for close bonds to form between members of a population, providing safety and an innate support group. These intimate relationships allow…
