Community service work is rapidly becoming a defining factor in how
individuals interact with each other, and more importantly, how
people define and achieve meaning within their own lives. This text
addresses the power of community service work and its guiding
principles to bridge cultural divides, facilitate inter ethnic
group development, and reduce ethnocentrism and ethnic conflict.
Simply stated, it defines ways in which people of different
cultures and ethnicity can learn to appreciate their diversity
while using that strength to improve their communities. Each
chapter explores different ways in which inter ethnic group
relationships can be improved through community service work,
exploring such topics as how community service work can foster
cultural tolerance and interdependency; the ways in which primitive
group work has always been a necessary factor in human evolution
and survival; the dynamic relationship between collaborative
learning and community service work; the influences of technology
on the quality of interpersonal and group service relationships;
reducing hate crimes via community service work in multi ethnic
student populations; and the role of community service work in
promoting collectivist rather than individualist cultural mindsets.
