D. ROLE OF A PERSON IN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
A human community is a group of persons linked by interpersonal and
biological bonds.
Person in Community
Kwame Gyekye (2001) - characterized a person, as that it is the community that
defines a person.
Trull, (2000) - As supported by the behavioral model in psychology, the behavior of a
person is viewed as influenced by the environment.
Social Responsibility: Every Persons Response
Persons in community could respond to the different needs in the following manner:
a. Society - Social responsibility calls for a more vigilant and productive
individual that would contribute in the progress of the society.

own family. Same is true with other significant persons such as kin and
friends.
c. Nature - Social responsibility entails preservation, conservation and
protection of natural resources. It is a fact that human needs and wants
greatly depend on the environment.
d. God - Respect to other human being regardless of their religion, faith and
belief is one of the cores of Gods teachings.
e. Self - Nourishing oneself is vital in understanding and embracing the
concept of social responsibility as well as in promoting social relationships.
A person in community therefore, is one who has a deep sense of selfawareness, understands the dimensions of his personality as well as his concerns
and most importantly the one that acknowledges his social responsibility. A concrete
manifestation of this concept is through the implementation of the NSTP-CWTS
programs through the efforts of the students.
