What is It
Cooperation is important because it allows people and various groups
to work together in achieving a common goal or derive mutual benefits.
Cooperation exists at many levels and takes place between individuals and
organizations as well as between states and countries. Cooperation allows
participants to exchange valuable information that helps both sides improve their
knowledge bases and work in a time- and resource-efficient manner.

Cooperation between and among parties is often referred to as a cooperative

relationship. Participants in these relationships often share vital resources and
knowledge as well as staff and personnel to accomplish a specific task. An example

3 NegOr_Q3_CESC/HUMSS12_Module3_v2
of cooperation is demonstrated through the coordination of a local school and a
community soup kitchen to provide basic services to area residents in need. The
school might provide basic supplies, such as student volunteers and food, while the
soup kitchen provides a facility and furniture. The two parties work together to set up
tables with food, staffed by student volunteers, who greet and serve clients as they
walk in the door. This act of cooperation benefits the students with experience, the
soup kitchen with a day of business and the clients with food. Cooperative
relationships can result in a one-time collaboration between parties to achieve a goal
or can involve recurring meetings and events to allow the parties to continue working
with each other.

Community is a social, religious, occupational, or other group sharing common
characteristics or interests and perceived or perceiving itself as distinct in some
