What does togetherness mean to you?

Togetherness, in my point of view, means to be in one entities with another and together in a friendly manner. It reflects comfort, security, and shared goals, purposes or interests in a partnership or a number of people. Cohesiveness means people come together with common feelings, feelings, objectives and vision that enhances rapport and unity. It is greatly focused with teamwork, relations, understanding and interaction that people must have in order to nurture good and healthy relationships in society.

How can we create a stronger sense of community in our lives?

To foster more community feeling in your life, begin by talking to your neighbors, participating in groups or organizations, volunteering to work in community functions, and attending those functions. Bring out the aspects of humility, be courteous especially by extending a hand in helping people around us and be ready to engage with them. There has to be healthy dialogue and therefore it is important that you listen to others as much as you speak and express your self. Contribute to local causes, shop locally and get involved with the neighbors. When you get connected, when you are understanding and want to be personally involved with others, then you can work towards enhancing the feelings of belonging in your life.

There are many activities that can bring people closer together, including:

1. Shared Experiences: Sharing your time with them in terms of traveling, attending a certain event or participating in a certain event can really help in cementing friendship.

2. Communication: Trust and communication are the two cornerstones of a good relationships. Disclosing information verbally or receiving the same from another means that people can find comfort in each other.

3. Collaboration: Collaboration in an organization or institution makes people to become teamed up and work for the success of a given goal or project.

4. Celebrating: Celebrating with friends and family focuses on specific aspects such as achievements or personal events therefore comes in handy when searching for a way to belong.

So any action that promotes contact, communication, and friendly feelings with one other labors to unite people.

What are some challenges for togetherness in today’s world?

The following represents the various hurdles that has made the concept of togetherness a hard thing to achieve in today’s world.

Social Media: Social networking is a tool that gives users an opportunity to communicate with people of different countries but at the same time, it undermines opportunities to experience direct live communication.

Political Division: Partisan animosity and identity politics are on the rise, thus diminishing opportunities for civil society to understand and, therefore, bridge, the division between parties.

Economic Inequality: The problem of social inequality in terms of assets and opportunities leads to strengthening social segmentation and dissociation between societies.

Cultural Differences: People come in different cultures globally, which is something lovely about life, but it can be a tough nut to crack; people of different cultures need understanding and respect to avoid differences turning into issues such as stereotyping and conflicting.

Technology: For as much as technology has brought about convenient ways of interacting and communicating, then it has brought about awkward ways of interacting and communication and generally a lot of feeling of disconnectedness of people from their counterparts.

How can we support each other during tough times?

Perhaps the most important thing at certain moments is to know that you are not alone. Hear them well and with understanding, help them practically, and comfort them spiritually. Just call each other, text or make video calls. Be polite while accepting people and avoiding judgment. Promote good hygiene, sleep, and diet, exercise or other health-related activities.

Post items that might be useful to others, ideas, recommended links, documents, photos, etc. In times of anger be the one to voice soothing words and be there to support. Pop in from time to time and remember that it can take time for people to recover from anxiety and stress. Just remember that even if you can’t do much, just being there and telling them you are aware of their situation will often help. The four of us can go through the difficulties to come with the toughness, care and cooperation.
