What is Communalism?
What is Communalism? This is a system in which members of a community come together and do things collectively in the interest of the community. Communalism exists in our traditional societies, where assistance or help is given to individual members of the community. In a communal society, there is a high level of togetherness and unity. Harmony is a strong feature of such a community. Progress, peace and love can also be clearly seen in that type of society.
Attributes/features of communalism
The following are the attributes of communalism. That is, these are the things you will see in a communal society:
- Togetherness: This means doing things collectively as one body for the interest of all.
- Love: In a communal society, there is love and deep interest for one another.
The people protect the interests of one another.
- Co-operation: People work together, helping each other, in order to achieve the goals of the community.
