It is the unity for which men has been able to become
the best of all creatures. The most important condition for removing disunity
is to remove financial ruling and disparity. No great deed can be done without
an association. There may be a great difference of opinions but communication
should not be disrupted. Mutual interest in served through co-operation between
each other. The differences between steady people are solved easily. Unity
occurs between two actions or two things. As a result of united way of
thinking, negative becomes positive and a selfish work become unselfish work
and attain salvation. A state of disunity fetches destruction. Try to lead your
lives united. Don't be rival with others. Always place the collective interests
above personal interests. Try to unity emotions and ways of thinking of all.
Without a community life, it is not possible to lead a prosperous life. If all
the duties are done unitedly or collectively, prosperity for all must come.
Allah has only the full power to make unity and to make association in egoism,
greed, envy and enmity. Cutting of relation is one of the reasons against
prosperity. Unity among the materials having opposite characteristics can only
be seen by real wisdom. We are created to co-operate with each other like the
limbs of our bodies. Men can reach their goals through mutual exchange, helping
each other co-operating with each other.
In the way of life, unity is a great power. A man is a member of a group of
people with whom he maintains a relation. Every matter of the world is made of matters
more than one. The characteristics of a matter is that it is made of more than
one metals. A family becomes noble and prosperous through friendship with the
wise men and being religious. Independent is destroyed due to lack of unity.
Community and family tradition is negligible. It is better to live unitedly.
Otherwise, quarrel will take place and all will try to find out each other's
faults. If the relatives remain united, nobody can be compared with them. When
many people start doing a job, then the job becomes very easy. Unity is strength.
A man may not be an important one in another village. Live with good
companions. All good relations are based on mutual understanding and
regardfulness. Living together build intemecy. If one of them starts singing,
the others starts tuning. Rarely different mentalities people act together. At
best they assemble at the place of work and when their personal needs arise,
they go away. Men do not have an unanimous opinion in any matter. Even if the
heaven is given on their hands. If everybody pulls or push the earth towards
the same direction, then the earth will be displaced. He who mixes with many
people, is to be prepared to accept many things against his liking. He is known
as a mad, who cannot co-ordinate his thoughts and ways of life with others. He is
small and simple man who is alone. He who is not united is negligible. Our
characters could not become strong due to divisions, envy and narrowness among
us. We can't be united. We can't trust each other and can't accept leadership
of anybody among us. Individual difference may be there but it is very sad not
to be united although our conscience urges for it. Board may be comprised of
three man but two men will surely proceed towards two ways. A single person
cannot control many things alone. Where there is envy, there is fight. A strong
and a weak man cannot live together. One murmurs, two read, three make noise
and four make a market. Where more than one utensils are there, they hit each
other. One can't attain everything. Water and oil do not mix up with each
other. The dustbins of the gentlemen are also better than the garden of mean
fellows. Dividing makes many but unity serves many. Unity is the most effective
way to face a crisis. To live with a weak man is the symptoms of a strong man.
United strength is far greater than a partial strength. To satisfy the members
of a group is very much important for the group. It is possible to discover a
new idea unitedly and widening the scope of mutual co-operation within a group
established to work for a common goal. Men's community life becomes strong when
mutual trust and sympathy exist among the community. A common-interest base
association is that which is established with the purpose of serving the common
interest of its members to make it stable and to influence other associations
collectively as an when necessary. Firmness, efficiency, self-confidence,
mutual communication actions and reactions, continuous public relations,
co-operation, free atmosphere, control on expenditure and technological
efficiency are the preconditions of an association. An association should
maintain its unity and integrity, flow of specified, activities and is to be
located close to the concerning government authority. The organization,
institutions at best can help to the development of humanity. The organization
can create positive situation for life and development and potentiality may
happen to the character. Society is the consensus and integration of general
mass. The existence of society depends on united activity of person. A general
tie or relationship is essential for higher existence. Beyond this tie a nation
is only a cluster of people, in the long-run they will be detached. Sympathy is mostly expressed within a family,
between neighbours, among relatives and friends that is within the circle of
people consists of the closest people. In the relation between people,
co-operation and competition are present at the same time. The jobs which
requires physical strength, can be done through discussion of many people,
cannot be done without forming a group. Those who always remain busy with
trifle matters can't achieve a great purpose. Although, often some trifle
matter results to a serious matter. Sometimes we are greatly helped by
something what we neglected for all the time. Those who neglects small things
becomes madly when they need it badly. The most neglected may become very
important when it is needed badly. Trifling matters seem to be meaningless but
it gives tranquility. Wild flower does not give any scent individually but they
make the wind full of scant with their collective fragrance. Trifle matters are
very important from many points of view. Both will needed to each other, a
renowned man is also depend on a negligible man and vice versa. A qualified man
is always backed by many qualified men. To clean one hand, the another hand is
required. You can't say when and whose help will be required. If two or three
men unity together to serve a great purpose, they thing that the world is like
a ripe fruit to them. When a group of people make an association, then nothing
is delayed to be done. Our society is to place its hearts in a particular place
and is to be united centering one man, otherwise, there is no way to defend
ourselves from going slow or destruction. There are five different dimensions
of social cohesion- material conditions, passive relationships, active
relationships, inclusion and equality. Material
conditions are fundamental to social cohesion. Particularly employment, income, health, education and housing. Relations between
and within communities suffer when people lack work and endure hardship, debt, anxiety, low self-esteem, ill-health,
poor skills and bad living conditions. These basic necessities of life are the
foundations of a strong social fabric
and important indicators
of social
progress. The second basic tenet of cohesion is social order, safety and
freedom from fear or passive social relationships. Tolerance and respect for
other people, along with peace and security, are hallmarks of a stable and
harmonious urban society. The third dimension refers to the positive
interactions, exchanges and networks between
individuals and communities, or active social relationships. Such contacts and
connections are potential resources for places since they offer people and
organisations mutual support, information, trust and credit of
various kinds. The fourth dimension is about the extent of social inclusion or integration of people into
the mainstream institutions of civil society. It also
includes people's sense of belonging to a city and the strength of shared
experiences, identities and values between those from different backgrounds.
Lastly, social
equality refers to the level of fairness or disparity in
access to opportunities or material circumstances, such as income, health or quality of life, or in
future life chances.
The criteria of success or failure depend on the depth of personal
relationship, confidence and trust. When alone men faces much hindrances. As a
member of a group they consider themselves more safe. Disciplines and
solidarity come from the leadership. It breeds support and responsibility
towards the group, everybody pays notice to another. If the bondage of the social
unity is strong, supporters of alike mind would be developed. Individuals
almost universally have a bond toward what are known as reference groups. These
are groups to which the individual conceptually relates himself, and from which
he adopts goals and values as a part of his self identity. A social unit consisting of
a number of individuals interacting with each other with respect to common
motives and goals. Primary
groups are small with intimate, kin-based relationships and display
face to face interaction. Household
for example- all individuals who live in the same home, there are various
models in different culture including the family, blended families, share housing and group homes. They commonly
last for years. Secondary
groups are large whose relationships are formal and institutional. They may
last for years or may disband after a short time. The formation of primary
groups happens within secondary groups. Community is a group of
people, with a commonality or sometimes a complex net of overlapping
commonalities. Often but not always
in proximity with one another with some degree of continuity over time. They
often have some organization and leaders. There are much less formal groups.
They interact, shares common interests, accomplish their goals, do particular
activities. They are relatively equal by the social status and interests or
same age etc. Dimensions of group
process- patterns of communication and coordination, patterns of influence,
roles or relationship, patterns of dominance e.g. who leads, who defers,
balance of task focus vs social focus, level of group effectiveness, how conflict is handled. Task
functions- orientation, organizing to get work done, information flow, problem
solving. Personal relations functions- testing and dependence, intragroup
conflict, group cohesion, interdependence. An accepted division of labour, i.e.
roles, established status, social rank, dominance, relationships. Accepted
norms and values with reference to matters relevant to the group. Development
of accepted sanctions, praise and punishment, if and when norms were respected
or violated. Intentional community- insular language, mindset, social contacts.
Role playing- blend in, social engineering, play and shift roles, blurs role
and life. Sentinel event- trigger event causes ‘explosion’ blame others, not
self. Patterned behaviour- obsessive, compulsive, monomania, attention to
detail, addictive tendencies, ability to addict to physiological response to
experience, ego, identity issues ‘act out,’ demonstrate against authority’.
Basic belief structure- special even unique, deserving, situation is not
satisfactory, no other easier option than to engage in job, only doing what
others frequently do, not a bad person, if presently employed his performance
in his job is separate from job, job does not really discount his contribution
in the workplace, security programs (e.g., briefings). Have no meaning for him,
unless they connect with something with which he can personally identify. He
feels isolated from the consequences of his actions. He sees his situation in a
context in which he faces continually narrowing options, until job seems
reasonable. The process that evolves into job reduces barriers, making it
essentially 'okay' to initiate the crime. So three questions are important, how
is a group formed? how does a group function? and how does one describe those
social interactions that occur on the way to forming a group? Development of a
group- if one brings a small collection of strangers together in a restricted
space and environment, provide a common goal, and maybe a few ground rules, a
highly probable course of events will follow. Interaction between individuals
is the basic requirement. At first, individuals will differentially interact in
sets of twos or threes while seeking to interact with those with whom they
share something in common, i.e., interests, skills, and cultural background.
Relationships will develop some stability in these small sets, in that
individuals may temporarily change from one set to another, but will return to
the same pairs or trios rather consistently and resist change. Particular
twosomes and threesomes will stake out their special spots within the overall
space. By analogy to animal behaviour, these behaviours can be termed
territorial behaviours and dominance behaviours. Depending on the pressure of
the common goal and on the various skills of individuals, differentiations of leadership,
dominance, or authority will develop. Once these relationships solidify, with
their defined roles, norms, and sanctions, a productive group will have been
established. Community building and organizing process goes through four
stages. Pseudo-community- where participants are nice with each other,
playing-safe, and presenting what they feel is the most favourable sides of
their personalities. Chaos- when people move beyond the inauthenticity of
pseudo-community and feel safe enough to present their 'shadow' selves. This
stage places great demands upon the facilitator for greater leadership and
organization, and this pressure should be resisted. Emptiness- This stage moves
beyond the attempts to fix, heal and convert of the chaos stage, when all people
become capable of acknowledging their own woundedness and brokenness, common to
us all as human beings. Out of this emptiness comes. True community- the
process of deep respect and true listening for the needs of the other people in
this community. This stage can only be described as 'glory' and reflects a deep
yearning in every human soul for compassionate understanding from one's
fellows. Membership groups: Some community groups and non-government
organisations are democratic membership groups, which can play a specific role
in development. Faith based groups- Poor people often trust and regard faith
based organisations as the most important organisations in local development
and we are keen to include such groups. Other segments of civil society- There are other
important groupings within civil society, such as professional groups, that can
play a role in development. Trade Unions- Trade unions are often key democratic
organisations and, through securing better conditions for their members, play
an important role in tackling the conditions in which poverty thrives.
Co-operate with each other, don't try to harm each other and follow the good
sides of each other. Follow the way of friendship and peace leaving the way of
quarrels. Large and small both will need each other. If we live collectively,
we will live personally as well. A man is well-known to the people of his own.
A joint venture is prospective for a bright future. Personal prosperity and the
prosperity of the world depend on co-operation. Help and co-operation of others
are must to do something great in the life. If we do something unitedly, no
matter, we win or we are defeated. What is very hard for one, is very easy for
many. Weak people also become strong due to unity, grasses united as a rope can
fasten up a mad elephant. Don't neglect the weak people, when become intolerant
they make a group and when they make a group they become strong. With the small
and negligible things united together, you can sarve a great purpose. If many
unnecessary things are collected together then you can defeat your enemy with
it, if grasses are collected together and a cottage is made with it, it can
save you from rains.
