...Community Profile Presentation ETH/ 316 May 21, 2012 Introduction: Diversity in Communities Diversity is what makes everybody different and helps people to learn from one another. Imagine if everybody was the same and every community did things in the exact same way – life around the world would be boring. Diversity in communities brings new ideas and creativity to help enhance unity among the people who make up the community. According to Boylan (2009), diversity makes a community stronger and happier in the essences that change is good and resources that are more possible are created overtime. All communities have their own way of conducting business, they have their own rules and regulations and most importantly, the people of the community help to keep their community safe, clean and united. However, when conducting a group study it was discovered that most communities have the same wants, needs and values. To illustrate the diversity between communities we will compare five different community profiles prepared by the members of Team C and use these profiles to discuss the similarities, differences and social responsibility of each community. The purpose of this paper is to reveal that communities are very different yet very much the same. Similarities among the Communities Each member in Team C submitted information about their particular community, which included the population size, information about employment among residents and intricate details...

...Community Profile Presentation ETH/316 Introduction Factors such as the physical environment, social communication, diversity, population, technology, social inequality, and social efforts are what ultimately lead to change within communities. They can determine how stable communities are, potential growth, and accomplishments that communities have succeeded in. Each community has its own profile, and within each community all people have social roles in which they play. Roles are significant components within a community, and they contribute to stability by enabling its members to interact and build relationships on different levels throughout the community. Diversity within population amongst a community is what also helps a community to thrive and surface new ideas, which is beneficial to a community. People in a community that bring about change can be a friend, employee, student, or anyone; there is no one specific person who can build a community by his/her self; it is community efforts. This presentation will discuss the profile of a place called Sims City, and all about this little city that makes it worth living in its community. This is a diverse community of different ethnicities with different religious beliefs. There are 144 members within this community who vary from public administrators to homemakers, and they all interact and socialize amongst various locations within the Sims City community. All of these members help this community...

This neighborhood needs to be respected and protected in order for people to thrive and carry-on with their everyday lives. My community is made up families raising their children and just going with everyday life. We take pride in living for our children. Sports and education is big in the community, during school and during the summer months as well. When the adults are not working they take their leisure time going to basketball games on Friday nights during the fall or baseball games during the summer. Also during the summer months my community has a farmers market. The farmers market supports local farmers and also brings other small businesses out. The farmers market always brings out the community and brings people together. It is also a great way to contribute to small businesses and give back. Some other wonderful, fun things we have during the summer months that brings the community together are car shows, a day in the park and the jubilee. A reason we can have these things is because of the workforce in the community. The workforce ranges from industry to clerical to fast food to medical. We are very diverse in what needs to be done. The community used to be mostly industrial but a lot of factories were shutdown due to the economy. The community still has a couple of bigger industrial factories that are in production but...

...Assignment #2: Tofino Community Paper The community that will be addressed throughout this report is Tofino, British Columbia. The general interest in this community arose from various trips there. During the most recent visit I began simply admiring the Tofino resident’s way of life. Simply put, Tofino is a one of a kind community from my point of view. INTRODUCTION Tofino is a relatively small community compared to other settlements on Vancouver Island. The population in 2006 was 1,655, according to Statistics Canada. Also Tofino’s population density is 157.1 people/km2. This statistic may seem high relative to the community’s total permanent population, but Tofino’s land area is only 10.54km2. Progressing, Tofino’s major economic bases have changed significantly over time. During the 60s and 70s Tofino’s main industries were commercial fishing and industrial logging, but with various policy changes Tofino’s main industry has changed. Currently their main economic activity is tourism. More specifically, ecotourism, this includes such activities as wildlife watching, beach exploration, ocean fishing, hiking and walking, floatplane tours, surfing, and sea kayaking (Niwand, 2008). Furthermore, Tofino’s settlement structure resembles that of a common developing region shore-based community. There are many small docks lining the settlement’s limits.
