you learned from the past lessons:
1. Compare and contrast the definition of Local and Global Community.
LESSON
Sectoral and Social Spaces
1. Sectoral Spaces
“Community sectors” can mean a number of different things but in some cases, it
describes broad categories – the public and private sectors, for example, referring
respectively to those individuals and organizations that have to do with government in
some way and those that don’t.
The term “community sector” means community-based organizations, institutions, and
initiatives, as opposed to those operated by state government, national or international
groups, or large corporations.
“community sectors,” refers to the various groups that people in the larger community
might be divided into for reasons of common social, political, economic, cultural, or
religious interests. In some cases, membership in a sector may be conscious (business
people as part of the “business sector,” for example.)
In others, people may not think about their membership (parents may not think of
themselves as helping to make up the “education sector.”) Many individuals may belong
to, or have contact with, several of these sectors; others may be considered only in
relation to a single one.
a. Education
This sector talks on public and private K-12 schools, public and private
preschools, public and private colleges and universities, school committees,
school administrators, teachers, other educational institution employees, parents,
students, state boards of education, [Link] sector may (or may not, depending
on the issue) include adult basic education (ABE) and English as Second or
Other Language (ESOL) programs.
Education takes up a quarter of our whole lives. Our whole development from
infancy to adulthood incubates within the ivory towers of the educational
institution. Our initial impression of the community stems from our experiences in
our very own schools. It is where we learn respect for authority, the need for
compliance, and even the price we have to pay for complacency and deviance
form set standards and rules. We spend more time in schools than in our own
homes. The school becomes our second home where we make our first
communal affiliations.
Basic education paves the way for individuals to be functional in our society.
Generally, the task of the school system is to arm us with the needed skills and
knowledge in relation with the demand of our environment. Students are
expected to learn within the given system designed to simulate the conditions
outside it. Think about it, all your lives until this very point, you were expected to
aim for that top spot and follow the rules. However, did it ever occur to you that
what the school organization deems as values and mores end up hollow and
alien because they lacked the connection to your communities? This dynamic,
instead, had separated us from the realities of life. We are misguided into
believing that what is real is inside the school and we have no obligation outside
of it.
The bigger challenge than learning numbers and our ABCs is bridging the gap
between what we learn in school and what we need to learn outside of it. Citizens
should not just be observers of what is happening beyond the four walls of the
school; instead, they should be craftsmen who can contribute to the community.
As students, you have to make use of what is provided and available to you. The
knowledge, skills and values you acquire are tools you will need to chart your
future.
b. Art and Culture
The arts community comprises artists of all stripes – musicians, dancers and
choreographers, writers, actors and directors, designers, visual artists – as well
as arts organizations, theaters, orchestras, museums, galleries, and those who
work as support staff in the arts – stagehands, cameramen, electricians, set
builders, etc.
It also includes regular consumers and supporters of the arts. In this sector artist
come up with different activities for the community, such as free tutorial activities
for kids, teenagers or even adult. Summer camp, clubs in different association. In
line with this there are communities that supports this sector, public or even
private sectors.
c. Religion
Places of worship and their members and religious organizations (e.g., Knights of
Columbus, Christians) of all faiths. If the community is a large city, this sector
may include the hierarchy of a national church as well (a Roman Catholic
archbishop, for instance.)
It emphasizes on the importance of religion as a communal experience. In many
communities, activities are still tied to the concepts and teachings of their faith. In
the Philippines is one good example to bring this point. Our culture is bridled with
influences from the Roman Catholic church. Our urban planning during Spanish
occupation was a type of zoning rooted from the communal activities that
happened around the church. The heart of the community was primarily the
church, while the state was the brain that managed the community. This is no
longer the case at present because of the separation of church and state, but we
can still feel the impact of religious institutions in other forms, such as through
foundations and nongovernmental organizations. Though outside the sphere of
the government, religious institutions have a huge impact in filling in gaps where
the reaches of the government fail to grasp.
Many of their projects focus on rural communities and the poor, where social
services coming from the government stretch as far as it should. These
communities often hold feeding programs and medical missions to help citizens
who are in need. As one society, we follow codes of conduct that are intertwined
with our core belief systems. Religious institutions are here to be a constant
reminder that values and mores are grounded on spiritually.
d. Social Justice
The local and state police, the court system – judges, probation officers,
prosecutors, court-appointed defense lawyers, court-mandated programs for
offenders, etc.
2. Social Space
a. Mass Media
the means of communication that reach large numbers of people in a short time,
such as television, newspapers, magazines, and radio
The media now includes not only newspapers and magazines, radio, and TV.
b. Social Media
Forms of electronic communication (such as websites for social networking and
microblogging) through which users create online communities to share
information, ideas, personal messages, and other content (such as videos)
Social media is any digital tool that allows users to quickly create and share
content with the public. Social media encompasses a wide range of websites and
apps. Some, like Twitter, specialize in sharing links and short written messages.
Others, like Instagram and TikTok, are built to optimize the sharing of photos and
videos.
Social Media covers the vast array of blogs, videos, online news, and other
material available on the Internet
