Pawongan

Human life is inseparable from problems arising out of interaction with his fellow beings and the natural environment. The wish for a harmonious life therefore forms the basic part to attain perfection, achievable only through cooperation with other human beings. The need to cooperate, springs from uncertainty, limitedness and rarity of resources available within human reach, hence forcing human beings to establish social unity. Man tends to maintain, nurture and develop his relationship with others through social unity in certain place, thereby forming a community group – both vast and limited in scale.
