As noted by (Boshoff, 2013:2) “ Social development is an approach that links social and economic development based on principles such as self-help, self-determination and active participation in service rendering.” On other hand the United Nations (2011:2) defines social development broadly as “… concerned with processes of change that lead to improvements in human well-being, social relations and social institutions, and that are equitable, sustainable, and compatible with principles of democratic governance and social justice”.

There are different forms of community, such as “community standards” and “community action”, that ultimately bring individuals together whether they agree or disagree with one another. In his book Our Divided Political Heart, E.J. Dionne discusses what community is and its significance to society. Through my writing, I would like to specifically talk about “community action”, “community standards” and “community policing”.
Person Centred Care and the Older Adult Is a person centred care approach really that important when it comes to nursing an older person? The answer is simply, yes. Older people are susceptible to a range of vulnerabilities and threats to their personal identity.

Problem solving is used to reduce offending in a community. It believes that crimes are caused by existing social conditions.

The CCDP, introduced from Japan in 1985, combined the methods of community development and community planning. In the CCDP, residents were encouraged to conduct meetings gradually and completely with sufficient time and resources, provided through abundant financial support.
