Community function

Right!

The role of various parts of the community to the community as a whole.

The main functions of the community include: economic functions. The factories and shops in the community provide residents with production, distribution and consumption services. Socialization function. Families, schools, and children's play groups in the community play a major role in the socialization of children and adolescents. Community cultural and educational activities have a major impact on adolescents and adults. Social control function. Various institutions and groups in the community play an important role in maintaining community order and ensuring community safety. The community's customs and norms constrain the behavior of residents, and the community's praise and blame, such as public opinion, prompt residents to follow the community's customs and norms. Social welfare security function. It is manifested in mutual assistance and mutual aid among community residents, poverty alleviation by welfare departments or charity groups, and community hospitals and clinics providing medical care services to residents. Social participation function. The community provides residents with opportunities to participate in economic, political, educational, recreational and welfare activities, so that residents have more investment and a stronger sense of community.

The function of the community changes with the change and development of the community. The development of modern communities tends to be specialized. For example, some communities have evolved into commercial and school districts. In specialized communities, some of the original functions were strengthened, while others were weakened or replaced by large communities.
