Abstract

Abstract This paper presents considerations which recommend an ethical principle to help guide community development practice towards consciously achieving social justice. Here community development is defined as the activity of participating in community responses to changes in its internal or external environment which help insure the survival of or enhance the quality of life for those living in the community. Community development practitioners are those engaged in that activity and thus would include those individuals who reside in the community and those who come from the “outside.” An ethical principle would provide a standard for practitioners and observers by which to judge such activities. Justice is defined in terms of fairness and recognition of inequality not implying inequity. The goal is to provide an ethical principle for community development practice which brings about social justice.
