Abstract

urbanization, and socioeconomic division between rich and poor, increasing social polarization, inequality, injustice, and discrimination in society and thereby diminishing its human face. They are not promoting environmentalism, a Cinderella economy and people-centered green economics beneficial for the majority of people. The socio-economic divide polarizing society is reinforced by anticommunity and non-communal, non-altruistic values and norms. In contrast, community organizing, community capacity-building, community planning and social networking excel in building a sense of community belonging and caring, and nurture the desire to support each other in cooperative exchange (social capital), resulting in a more altruistic, local, and sustainable economy. the community development approach addresses The issues of unemployment, poverty and gender discrimination in society.
