Communication

Community building starts with communication. When the community or community activist communicates well with each other community building will become easy and smooth. However, this communication will not happen unless the inside communication within the person happens. The fact of the matter is that human brain has two sides that suppose to communicate well but somehow this does not happen. There are many reasons why they do not communicate well but the important thing is that it will learn to communicate if it give chance to communicate.

Element of the Trade

Every trade has its element and the basic element of worldviews are myth, ideal, realty and civic. Every worldview has these basic units whether it is old, early, middle or new. The differences of these worldviews are how they relate or connect to these elements and how they disintegrate or alienate among the elements. If any one of these elements is missed or ignore there will be an inclination. For instance, myth is important for production of idea to create values that became ideal to deal with the reality in order to be a civil person. In this way, the new worldveiw integrates all these elements to create civil communities or societies. To realize this community building, utilizing the media and information technology is very important first to educate second to empower then advocate for the community .
