Abstract

Background of the Study. It has been stated often that this is a complex world, and that one never knows what to expect. When we really investigate and reflect on this proposition however, what we might find is that the individual has forgotten how to identify his community. The knowledge on how a person can involve himself in the community and recognize his and the community's needs has been clouded.This would imply, along with a more recent study, Mental Health in the Metropolis : The Midtown Manhattan Study, that primary group relations can produce or control pathogenic stresses on the individual.
