What is It (Discussion) Lesson 1: Importance of Understanding Community Dynamics and Community Action A community is a socially operative whole. A body of people bound to a common social structure which function as a specific entity and which is unique from each other. The fact that they live in the same norms and within the same social organization, they have the sense of belongingness. Community dynamics is a natural phenomenon because community changes and develops. The people living in a community stimulate growth, improvement, or modification within a system or process.

A community that is dynamic shows

progress and growth. But we must take note that communities have problems and the people within the community are affected. It is through voluntary acts and community participation that people can help each other.
