When people live together or near each other in a community, the things they do affect everyone around them. People in communities have a responsibility to their community to do the right things to improve everyone’s lives. Keeping streets and houses clean and tidy are good things to do.
Helping old people, organising activities for the community and helping in the school are also good things to do. It is not good for small children to see drunk people around their town. It can frighten them or take away their hopes for a good life in the future. People fighting can also hurt the community and cause problems for others like not being able to sleep at night. What if someone breaks the law and goes to jail?
It’s a shame job for them, their family, friends and their community. People in communities should care about and help each other. JERRY makes mistakes. He’s the first to admit it. He knows right from wrong and how the way he acts can affect his Mum and his friends. This is what helps to keep him straight. Jerry has a hope for the future too. He believes in his future and the future of his people. He learns from his mistakes. Write down some things that people do that can hurt a community. Make a list of good things people do in the community. Your teacher may let you paint a poster to hang up.
