A community plays an important role in the development of a given nation. Since the community is the basic or the backbone that the rest of the developments depend on. A society may then hinder or fasten the growth of the nation. Planning helps a nation budget for its people and if the resources available go hand in hand with its population. Planning is very vital for without scheduling there is no development. If the plan done and the resources are, fewer the country may seek help from another country (Alinsky 102).
Communities hinder planning in so many ways but majorly relationship between one community and the other neighboring communities brings chaos. Teaming up with the outsiders causes hatred or difficulty in planning in a given country. Relationship between two different communities is the worst and causes so much hindrance in planning (Alinsky 119). For instance, if a community has no good relations with another community it becomes intricate to plan. If the communities are always in a war, it becomes very difficult to plan because you can never count the people in a war (Kretzmann & MacKnight 7). Planning begins with knowing the population first and with the fighting communities; it is difficult to establish the population so it becomes hard to plan. The resources in that given region are destroyed leaving the country with fewer resources to plan for the rest of the nation.
This is the toughest cause that hinders planning between the two causes. It disrupts the peace among the communities and after the conflict; it may be hard to raise the community to standards it was before the war. Teaming up with outsiders may not cause so much disruption in planning as compared to the conflicts. Teaming up with other communities may involve a community migrating from its native region then goes to join another community in another region (Kretzmann & MacKnight 350). This also disrupts planning in a way that if the population of an area is identified then it becomes difficult to squeeze another community in it. The resources identified are equal to the people in that given region thus becomes hard to share the resources available.
Joining of the different communities brings about problems and may lead to the continuous migration of the different communities. They are forced to migrate to find a place that has resources that will satisfy them, be comfortable, and will lead to a continuous circle. Both the reasons hinder planning but a conflict between the communities brings so much trouble in a nation (Kretzmann & MacKnight 347). This is because medication of the injured people has to be planned for, a country in war faces so many disruptions and it discourages external help or investments. This has been the major problem in most of the third world countries and that why they still lag behind (Alinsky 148). The wars lead to poor planning and the conflict might be the reason why people will be forced to join up the other communities since they live in fear.
The reasons are mutually exclusive for they both hinder planning or lead to poor planning for they both make it hard to take the census of the given region. As told population is the backbone of planning for without the knowledge of the number of the people in a region then what will one be referring while planning for a country (Alinsky 159). However, the threatening and organizing attacks to the enemy is much more the hindrance to planning.
