Community Organization and Planning
Community organization is found wherever people have learned to live together. In simple societies it rests upon customs or traditional ways of regulating social relationships. These customs have come to be called folkways and mores, after the classic exposition of William Graham Sumner. 1 Mores change slowly, perhaps imper ceptibly. The preoccupation with this facet of life in stationary societies has sometimes led to the assumption that mores display such resistance to change that they must be accepted, without thought of their alteration. The inertia of habit and custom is a conservative force in mod ern society, which must be taken into account in any analysis of social changes. However, in industrial, urban society, which is characteristic of contemporary life, many evidences of conscious social reconstruction are found. Such methods of effecting change are deviations from the traditional organization of community life. The methods by which communities deliberately change their structure and way of life is the theme of this book.
