Understanding Community and Welfare

Society is frequently located within a media setting. Embedded with society is the concept of community. Many sociologist scholars, past and present, have been fascinated with the concept of “society” and “community” because they generate a fascinating discussion on the political contribution of both terms. More than ever, before political, community, and religious leaders discuss the inter-relationships of society and community and how people can better themselves. The aim of this chapter is to critically explore the concepts of society and community. The chapter argues that there needs to be a re-justification of both concepts. The motivation of re-justification of welfare and community has been socially reconstructed by the impact of globalization.
