Community Spirit
What do these pictures tell you
A community is a familiar thread used to bring people together to advocate and support each other in the fight to overcome those threats. As human beings, we need a sense of belonging, and that sense of belonging is what connects us to the many relationships we develop.

In what way do you think community spirit affects people’s health
It affects people’s health positively in that they don’t feel lonely. They know they have other people to rely on and this helps them build a positive attitude towards life and its difficulties.

While-listening
1. What surprising facts did doctors discover about Rosetans in the 1950s
Dr. Smith is talking about how the community spirit of a small town called Roseto impactd on the residents’ health in a radio programme.
There was hardly a Rosetan below 65 who’d experienced heart attacks. People there were dying of old age rather than from illness. There was very little crime.
2. What was the reason for the facts
According to an earlier study, the reason for the low rate of Rosetans’ heart attacks was the community itself. Roseto was a very closely-knit community. People there looked after each other, visited each other often. Almost all households consisted of three generations. Old people were respected. The social network they enjoyed protected them from the pressure of the modern world.

Listen again. Complete the table about the Roseto community in the 1950s and 1960s. Then talk about what happened to Rosetans in those years.

Post-listening
How did Rosetans live in the 1950s Why did they have a low rate of heart attacks at that time
They lived in a very closely-knit community. People there looked after each other, visited each other often. Almost all households consisted of three generations. Old people were respected. They didn’t have too much pressure living there, which may be the reason for low rate of heart attacks.
2. How did the community change in the 1960s What was the result
In the 1960s, younger Rosetans would not keep up the traditional lifestyle. They moved to typical single-family houses and rejected to traditional social bonds. As a result, the first heart attack of a Rosetan under 45 happened and the rate of heart attacks is the same as the average.
