In earning the "Graduate Certificate in Social and Community Services" in 2003 I have learned the meaning of such systems as open and closed communities and how this impacts the public at large. Designed for professionals who desire greater knowledge and skills in the fundamentals of social and community services this graduate certificate has been the foundational program contributory to what I refer to as "communal thinking" in the public sector. This article will be based upon my work in the courses, "Philosophy of Social Work," "Utilization of Community Resources," and "Applied/Clinical Sociology."

Upcoming Articles

An upcoming article, "Individual Thinking in the Private Sector" will be based upon my work in the courses, "The Family in Social Context" and "Applied/Clinical Sociology."

An upcoming article, "Organizational Thinking in the Professional Sector" will be based upon my work in the course, "Applied/Clinical Sociology" as well as other experiences.

Private/Professional/Public

The crux for these articles is the individual, organizational, and communal realms. These are the private, professional, and public sectors or human realms in which our world functions as depicted in Figure 1.

Figure 1. Private, Professional, Public Human Realms Model

More about these human realms is discussed in my article, "Extreme Makeovers in the Private, Professional, and Public Sectors."
