Belonging

One of the factors that affect our social systems is that our community is fragmented which often times creates conflict which affects, businesses, social services, education, etc. It is no wonder that our students lose their individuality and search for outlets that may be inappropriate and misguided.

One author that I have been introduced to is Peter Block. His ideas of creating a better community for every disillusioned citizen and every civic leader are indeed worth reading and studying.

A worthwhile reading project is Community - The Structure of Belonging by Peter Block. I also recommend you visit his site on Designed Learning http://www.designedlearning.com/
