Times magazine reported in 1910 there were 32 million farmers living on farms and in 1991 32 percent of farm managers and 86 percent of farmers did not live on the farm that they took care of. Now there isn’t even an agricultural class. The book goes on to talk about “rape and run” logging in Montana. We talked about the “fly by night” corporations in class. Both are the same just different terminology. In Montana, the Champion International Corp. went on a tree cutting binge in Montana, which leveled forests. They then left leaving behind million of people unemployed and over 1,000 square acres stripped. This leaves people poor and the land trashed. This is only one case, but I know we talked about this in class. These corporations suck everything they can out of a community until there isn’t anything left for them. They decided to leave one day and never think twice about the people. That’s why Berry has come up with a list of actions a community can do to help their own community flourish. I won’t list them all, but I will name a few important ones like: always put local needs first, develop small scale industries, strive to produce as much of the community’s own energy as possible, see that the old and young take care of each other, and so on. These actions would help a community grow stronger in many ways.

He explains that all persons and environments require resources from the company impacting them, thus justifying that the community, employees, and customers should receive a share of business resources in the reader’s mind. Also, he summarizes an opposing view that “caring about customers and employees is good business” to get readers to be more willing to accept that corporations should fulfill social responsibilities, not just the individual. To address critics of his argument, maybe thinking that 100% of profits should go back into the community, he says that he believes investors do deserve some profits, but giving 0% to society is too little. The foot-in-the-door phenomenon explains his use common ground here, which gets readers to think or act selflessly a little bit to get them more accepting of bigger

Social entrepreneurship which has been applied in so many different ways by so many different analysts that it’s depth of vast complexity is still being unraveled and it seems it is still in infancy. It is a multi-interpretable concept and although the use of the term is widespread its use is either overrated or misused. Hence, it is important to firstly understand what social entrepreneurship really is.

Community is built of two main elements. First, community requires communal caring. Members need to put themselves in positions where they are able to relate to other members and does everything “within reasonable limits of self-sacrifice” (65). The second is communal reciprocity. Individuals will serve other members of the community, not for exchange of goods, but to provide generosity and support. These elements of community appear in the lives of all individuals, even the most capitalist ones. Humans are entirely capable of these.

Mobilizing Communities is a compendium of case studies written about using asset building as a community development strategy. Rather than organizing people around needs or problems, this strategy asks communities to identify and advance a plan based upon strengths (Ennis 405). John Kretzmann and John McKnight pioneered the language of asset-based community development (ABCD) - a series of community unifying stages, which promote sustainable growth through recognition of assets: the “gifts, skills, and capacities of individuals, associations, and institutions within a community” (Green and Goetting 4). This definition is built upon throughout the text and comes to include: culture, politics, infrastructure, and financial and natural resources (97-98). ABCD is collaborative rather than conflict-oriented; it asserts that investing in people provides an “internally focused, community driven” approach (Booth 2015).

In CD, social capital is an important term as it refers to the networks and norms that enable collective action. In general, social capital is the level of trust between members within the community. Social workers need to understand and empower the social capital to strengthen the community through collective action based on the existing resources.
