EDUCATION, TRAINING AND INFORMATION. Throughout my classes, I help others who do not understand material given to them by teachers and teach them the material so they fully understand the underlying concepts. I help my brothers and sisters with their class work as well if they do not understand or just need a little recommendation. COOPERATION AMONG COOPERATIVES. Being a member of Ladies Community Outreach, I am expected to cooperate not only with those who are members of that organization, but those who are members of other organizations as well. At times, Ladies Community Outreach works with other organizations such as the Salvation Army and Victory Electric. While volunteering, I cooperate with my fellow members and members from these organizations for the benefit of the community. CONCERN FOR COMMUNITY.

    Laura R. Shantz and Sylvie Frigon noted in their study that most non-profit groups- including the Elizabeth Fry Society-have limited means by which to make their facilities accessible. The authors discuss how older women may face mobility limitations and that for some women with physical disabilities, challenges such as winter weather may cause isolation and limit their access to resources. Mary, one of the women Shantz and Frigon interviewed, said about non-profits like E Fry that “you’ve got mobility issues to take into consideration… Elderly women might not be able to get out into the community in the middle of winter to go to a drop-in center or to get out and participate in an event” (Shantz). Therefore, while E Fry offers many programs and services to women, many of said programs are simply just not created with women who have physical limitations in mind and this restricts the amount of people utilizing their services.…

    It was a stormy April night, and the Gallagher family was having a game night at their house. It was a full house; Frank, Fiona, Lip, Ian, Debbie, Carl, Liam, and even their neighbors, Kevin and Veronica, were there. The living room floor was now the product of the sore loser from Monopoly, cards and game pieces strewn all over the place.

    He may have learned this watching his father skip meals, even though he is diabetic, so the rest of the family will have more food. His mother and father have also taken in his nephew Joey, and his cousin Roberto who is undocumented and unable to contribute much to the household because of his ill health and rudimentary English skills. These examples may have taught him that you do what you must for family above all else. But family assistance can become a negative in a difficult family situation, such as a parent being stressed or ill (Telzar et al. 2015). Though Gloria is afraid the violence in her marriage will escalate, she also may stay with her husband because of her learned behavior.…

    My Responsibility to America George Bernard Shaw once said, “We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility of our future,” I believe he meant that it is not enough to know where we came from or how we got here; we must actively expand to maintain and improve our quality of life. As Americans, I believe, we need to participate in all aspects of life, respect ideals and people, and obey all established laws. As Americans, one of our responsibilities to America is participation. Participation may include lots of things such as your community, politics, and even your school. Participating in your community might be as little as helping someone across the street, or as big as setting up a local event.…

    The community committee’s primary goal is to create an interaction between the students, community, and the teachers to create a stronger school. The first policy that was presented and passed was the community service policy. Community service benefits not only the community but also the students by giving them a sense of responsibility. As a future educator, I feel that this policy is extremely beneficial to our students in making them not only good scholarly students but also good people. Community service would allow the students to become more involved with community around them and would allow them to interact with different environments that they normally would not.…
