Discussion

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.

Assertion A: To engage with community groups, community workers must be able to define specific purposes for such engagement.
Reason R: These purposes should be developed by the community worker in conjunction with those with whom the practitioner work.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

  • A.Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
  • B.Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A.
  • C.A is correct but R is not correct.
  • D.A is not correct but R is correct.

Answer: A

The answer is Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.

In community work, engagement with a group starts from clear, specific purposes, so that the worker and the community know what they are working towards. That is the Assertion.

The Reason says how those purposes are arrived at: they are developed jointly by the worker and the people they work with, not imposed from outside. In the community organisation approach this participation is what makes the purposes valid and the engagement possible, so the key reads R as explaining A.
