Factors like violence, bullying and even a new form of communication such as social media can cause stress in a community and frighten people but with an individual’s actions that community can be strengthen again. Many things can be done to help ease some stress that has been put on the community; those are, support groups, group activities, and to promote more police patrol or neighborhood watch. Don’t under estimate an individual’s drive to help out their community.

First let’s address the stress of violence and the impact it can have on a community. Violence can range from a simple candy bar robbery to a more complex crime as a house robbery. Having more policemen on patrol and starting a neighborhood watch program can make the people in the community feel safe and in return make the stress level decrease. A single person can both start a neighborhood watch program and go to a town meeting to discuss more patrols.

Second let’s address the new form of communication through social media and the toll it has taken on a society as a whole. Social media has it’s positives with letting people know about news stories and store sales but it also has its bad with the way people communicate. With texting people don’t verbally communicate anymore and that’s why group activities would be an action to take. An individual can round up a group and people and set up a weeklong of day camps or even a weekend camp where people have to leave their cell phones and electric devices at home.
