A community is a group of people who share common characteristics like location of residence, workplace, or recreational activities. It is a place where people solve problems together. A community consists of neighborhoods where neighbors live and interact. Being part of a community involves citizenship, treating neighbors and the human race with respect, and taking responsibility for one's environment.

I am a citizen of my society
And I participate in my community
I do my part, I keep it clean
I make this world a better place for you and me
I love my neighbor, I treat them good
I show respect and dignity like I should
I love my family, I follow all the rules
I take responsibility for what I need to do
There’s so much going on around me
Sometimes I think that it is all about me
Then I look around and see what’s in front of me
It’s you, and me, we help others in need
*
I do all I can to make this world a better place
Show respect to my neighbor and to the whole human race
Citizenship is who I am, everything that I do
I take care of the environment, how about you?
