A community is a group of people who are like minded and share the same values and beliefs. Being part of a community gives us a sense of belonging to something greater than us. That’s all most of us ask for, to belong to something. Many people would assume that the community build around a workplace would involve terrible management with little to no care about the employees or, the employees sitting around hardly doing their jobs just ranting about customers. But in the community, I work in that is not true. I work at Best Buy and what I get out of being part of a workplace community is far greater than what it is thought to be.
The community at Best Buy consists of its employees, which I would be part of them. There are a variety of jobs

Mine would be my job title. I work at customer service. My responsibilities are to be friendly and to help the customers as best of my abilities. Also, depending on my shift, I am responsible in making sure everything is on or off and the beginning and end of the day. For instance, if I am on the opening shift I am responsible for turning on everything that needs to be turned on, like the cashier lights, the TV’s, etc. I also have to write down on a note who is working at the front end of the store today and what their shifts are along with assigning registers according to the schedule. But this responsibility varies according to what position we hold. In return for my responsibilities I am rewarded with pay.
There is somewhat of a government to this community and that would be the managers and supervisors. They overlook everything and make sure the store is running smoothly with no problems. They are the ones that we have to go to if a problem were to occur or with any issues above our control. The final decision, in most cases are up to the

Time is just one thing that I have to give up in order to be part of this community. The only downside to spending my time invested in in this community would be that I work every weekend which is not too bad I just like to go out on weekends with my family. I work those days because it is the busiest and the store gets more Hispanic population coming in. Especially on Sundays around 1pm. That is because many Hispanics are getting out of church and are wanting to spend some time in town and go shipping for a bit. I would know because I do that as well. Sometimes when my shifts do not start until church is over, I go to church myself and see many people from mass at Best Buy either making purchases or paying of their credit card bills. Most times I will see people who attended mass earlier in the store and they come up to me and talk to
Community is defined as a group a people living in an area under the same conditions. Realistically, a community is so much more than this definition. It is people and their different beliefs that form a community. In the town of Milagro, Amarante Cordova, Ruby Archuleta, and a town coming together to rescue a fellow community member from jail exemplify the true spirit of what community is.
A community is to help and support each other to be successful. Everyone is involved in a certain community regardless of anything. A community I am commit with is CAMP from CSUMB which stands for College Assistance Migrant Program. My community is a federally funded program that assists first year freshmen who have a migrant background and students whose parents are seasonal farmworkers. CAMP assist their students with many useful services such as with a grant of up to 1,200 dollars. My community is very important to me for the reason they are guiding me to be successful while encouraging me to graduate from college. In my community we tend to communicate really often such as in the article "Learning to Serve" by Toni Mirabelli. As in the article, my community also communicates by using various literacy such as writing, reading , and speaking.
Today organizations are seeking the best employees to compete in the cutthroat market environment. In order to achieve their goals, they must have something to offer to their employees to keep them motivated. Employee motivation can come from management strategies, employee incentives, health, school, adoption assistance, and the more the company can offer the better and more valuable the employee can be. With that being said Best Buy might just have what most employees are looking for. Best Buy is considered to be one of the world’s largest consumer electronics retailers, with that being said more that 125,000 people are employed by Best Buy. This is a company willing to go the extra mile to make their employees satisfied which betters the
A community is the feeling of togetherness felt in a setting with a group of people who share similar characteristics. Living in Scott Hall my freshman year of college, shaped my view of community quickly. Going to organized events, socializing in common areas and interacting with my Resident Advisors gave me an ideal
Community is like a Venn diagram. It is all about relations between a finite group of people or things. People have their own circles and, sometimes, these circles overlap one another. These interceptions are interests, common attitudes and goals that we share together. These interceptions bond us together as a community, as a Venn diagram. A good community needs good communication where people speak and listen to each other openly and honestly. It needs ti...
A community is comprised of a group of goal oriented individuals with similar beliefs and expectations. Currently the term is used interchangeably with society, the town one lives in and even religion. A less shallow interpretation suggests that community embodies a lifestyle unique to its members. Similarities within the group establish bonds along with ideals, values, and strength in numbers unknown to an individual. Ideals and values ultimately impose the culture that the constituents abide by. By becoming part of a community, socialization...
“The community is the expert”. Generally, the people within a certain environment know and understand what needs to be done to best create a sense of belonging.

Due to the many meanings of the word community, people have learned to substitute community for other words. Most of the definitions are common has in a society linked by common interests but, would you really say a buffalo community? Of course not, you would say a herd of buffalo. Unfortunately, community is really only used if someone were to be talking about where people live. Even the meanings of community don’t announce themselves when people use the word. Working with a service agency (YouVote), community is used quite a bit. We worked a lot with the community of Michigan Sate University. Would Michigan State University students all have common interests? We all have the common interest to come here but, not common degrees, or classes. If it’s different at MSU would it be different everywhere else?
There are various influences on everyone’s lives while growing up. I believe the greatest of these influences is the neighborhood you grew up in. I grew up in a quite large, welcoming neighborhood. While living in this neighborhood, I was outgoing and remarkably talkative. Making friends became second nature to me. Playing outdoors from sunrise to sundown playing sports or exploring the outdoors with my friends became a daily routine for me. I was outgoing, talkative, and active. I believe this is the result of the neighborhood I grew up in.
Community Psychology has begun major breakthrough in treating the community on a macro level but failed to support the community on a micro level. But first let’s talk about the meaning of Community Psychology. Community Psychology is defined as how community level forces impact the functioning of all individuals and families in the community. Community psychologist focus more on the community as a whole whereas the individual perspective. Chapter 1 discusses how community psychologist goal is to prevent community failures rather than treat them before it starts. In addition, talks about the main causes of being homeless in United States. CP believes that the main factor of Homelessness in United States is the lack of affordable houses? But
Many individuals believe that the neighborhood defines who they are, shapes them as a person and has an impact on their life. Throughout my childhood I would hear the saying “It takes a village to raise a child.” Society feels a child has the best ability to become a healthy adult if the entire community takes an active role in contributing to the rearing of the child. I do agree based on the neighborhood environment a child is raised; it does have an impact on their life. For example, society classifies each neighborhood differently such as low-income neighborhood, middle-income neighborhood and high-income neighborhood. According to Bureau of Justice Statistics(BJS2008-2012), persons in poor households at or below the Federal Poverty Level
Community engagement is the active participation of local residents and community groups in the decisions that affect their lives (Herefordshire Council, 2013). Therefore, community engagement should be about engaging in open communication to ensure the council understands the needs of the local community.
The Role of Community in Society Communities are an essential part of our society, because we all depend and interact with each other. Communities are groups of people that help an individual to learn and develop new ideas. A society is where people’s relations with each other are direct and personal and where a complex web of ties link people in mutual bonds of emotion and obligation. The idea of community has provided a model to contrast to the emergence of more modern less personal societies where cultural, economic and technological transformations have uprooted tradition and where complexity has created a less personal and more rationalized and goal directed social life.
A Community can be defined as a group of people who don’t just live in the same area, but also share the same interests, experiences and often concerns about the area in which they live. Often when individuals have lived on a street or in an area for a while they become familiar with each other and the issues surrounding them. Children often attend the same schools and grow up together, again sharing similar experiences. In some instances adults may work together, and quite commonly all community members will share the same doctors, dentists, hospitals, health visitors and other public services and facilities.
