POLITICS Communitarianism 24. dec Maribor, Slovenia Žiga Štajnbaher

POLITICS Scenario Description Topic: Economy and politics Title: Communitarianism Objective: provoke discussion and the exchange of views or learning about political issues Short description Communitarianism emerged in the 1980s as a response to the limits of liberal theory and practice. Its dominant themes are that individual rights need to be balanced with social responsibilities, and that autonomous selves do not exist in isolation, but are shaped by the values and culture of communities. Unless we begin to redress the balance toward the pole of community, communitarians believe, our society will continue to become norm less, self-centered, and driven by special interests and power seeking.

POLITICS Comments on Video This results in a decline in social capital, are described as the collective value of all social networks and the inclinations that rise from these networks to do things for each other. Social capital is a key component to building and maintaining people democracy. Central to the communitarian philosophy is the concept of positive rights, which are rights or guarantees to certain things. These may include state subsidized education, state subsidized housing, a safe and clean environment, universal health care and even the right to a job with the concomitant obligation of the government or individuals to provide one. To this end, communitarians support social security programs, public works programs, and laws limiting such things as pollution. Communitarianism cannot be classified as being wholly left or right, and many theorists claim to represent a sort of radical centre. Communitarians and conservatives generally agree on cultural issues, such as support for character education and faith-based programs, but communitarians do not support the laissez- faire capitalism.

POLITICS Related article main idea This article of Dana Milbank talks about "Communitarianism”. She explains that the economic system we have is unjust and it’s not democratic at all. Communitarianism or civil society thinking has many interpretations, but at its center is a notion that years of celebrating individual freedom have weakened the bonds of community and that the rights of the individual must be balanced against the interests of society as a whole. Inherent in the philosophy is a return to values and morality, which, the school of thought believes, can best be fostered by community organizations. Civil society need to connect with one another. We've got to move a little more in the direction of community in the balance between community and the individual.

POLITICS Activity 4 Learning tasks: Search the web and find some useful information about communitarianism. Tools/resources: different search servers Duration: 30 min

POLITICS Useful Information Communitarianism emphasizes the need to balance individual rights and interests with that of the community as a whole, and argues that individual people or citizens are shaped by the cultures and values of their communities. Though the term communitarianism is of 20th- century origin, it is derived from the 1840s term communitarian, which was coined by Goodwyn Barmby to refer to one who was a member or advocate of a communalist society. The modern use of the term is a redefinition of the original sense. Many communitarians trace their philosophy to earlier thinkers.

POLITICS My Personal View There is not an easy answer to the question whether communitarianism is the best community system or not. While the people in my country feel that there is great injustice in the economic system that we have, it is not clear whether this is due to the system itself or the people that are implementing it and set the rules and regulations of the political and market system. Modern society need a different and more fair system and we need more fair multy-party political system to implement communitarianism in the form it was intended to protect all citizens.
