There are some characteristics that can only be seen by a participatory community. People from such communities are healthier both socially and mentally. 1) First, in a participating community a large number of people are involved in community activities such as beach cleaning programs, sports activities and dengue control activities. 2) Second, in a participating community, people from all groups get involved and divide responsibilities/activities so that people with special talents and interests contribute to the activities. They would distribute power and responsibilities equally. 3) In a participating community they conduct their activities or programs openly rather than keeping them private. 4) In a participating community every single idea or opinion is welcomed and treated with respect. They don't consider any opinion as a bad idea. 5) In a participating community there is no discrimination between the various groups. They treat everyone the same regardless of race, religion or ethnicity. 6) People in a participatory community behave more openly and live more openly
