American Values Assessment: Part Four (15%) Action Items, due end of Week 7.
“Social capital is closely related to what some have called “civic virtue”. The difference is that social capital calls attention to the fact that civic virtue is most powerful when embedded in a network of reciprocal social relations. A society of many virtuous but isolated individuals is not necessarily rich in social capital.”
Guidelines: See the Walljasper article (1977) listed in the week 1 E-Readings.
