Bonding Social Capital
Take 15 minutes to read through and complete this bonding social capital exercise. This exercise may be done individually, in groups, or as a whole class.
Formula for Bonding Social Capital:
Consider that Cs is the community of sameness through pride in self and community, T is trust through the upholding of familiar information, ideas, and resources; and S is solidarity via coping without improvements.
- Bonding Social Capital = Cs + T + S
Bonding Social Capital Three-Sentence Example:
- Cs: Our communal overlap in having all graduated from high school is a testament to academic success.
- T: Having learned a common core of math, social sciences, physical sciences, writing, and reading skills, let us carry those lessons into the future.
- S: While there are many life skills we may not have been taught, including but not limited to how to balance a checkbook, we can still manage our adult lives in other ways given the lessons we were taught.
For the example sentences below, determine if the sentence represents Cs, T, or S. You may have disagreements about the answers. If so, be sure to elaborate on why you believe the sentence is the type of bonding social capital sentence that it is.
-
Our neighborhood association continues to celebrate its commitment to anti-gentrification.
-
The tools we use to weave in community are age-old and make us sustain a connection to our ancestors.
-
As we have learned to be in tune with one another as an orchestra, we have created a sense of musical oneness.
-
While we may not have a music festival in our town, we continue to rely on block parties that feature local talent.
-
Our softball team takes pride in being the state champions.
Bridging Social Capital
Take 15 minutes to read through and complete this bridging social capital exercise. This exercise may be done individually, in groups, or as a whole class.
Formula for Bridging Social Capital:
Consider that Cd is the community of difference through tolerance and acceptance, T is trust through the exchanging of unfamiliar information, ideas, and resources; and S is cross-solidarity via innovation with improvements and consensus building.
- Bridging Social Capital = Cd + T + S
Bridging Social Capital Three-Sentence Example:
- Cd: While some of us graduated from high school and some did not, the traditional path to academic and professional outcomes is not for everyone.
- T: Having been in courses that are about the common core of math, social sciences, physical sciences, writing, and reading skills, it is apparent that an integrative approach to solving real-world problems is often the solution.
- S: Therefore, we need all voices at the table to bring about change that will have the largest and most effective impact.
For the example sentences below, determine if the sentence represents Cd, T, or S. You may have disagreements about the answers. If so, be sure to elaborate on why you believe the sentence is the type of bridging social capital sentence that it is.
-
We, tenured full-time faculty, stand in solidarity with the adjunct faculty who are fighting for better working conditions.
-
As Olympians from different countries, we kneel on the ground to promote anti-racism.
-
Sharing our perspectives as students and faculty, we can develop strategies to support more inclusive restrooms on campus.
-
Despite the different religions we may be, we share a common goal of valuing all life.
-
Joining in thought partnership between us as faculty and our external partners like the Mayor of Chicago, we can work towards innovative approaches to reducing or eliminating tuition costs.
CREATE (45 minutes)
Take 15 minutes to create a bonding social capital three-sentence example. That should be based on your research paper’s topic. Then, take 15 minutes to create a bridging social capital three-sentence example. Complete this individually. Next, work in pairs for 15 minutes to complete the Pair (F.A.I.R.) and Sheer exercises below. (Note: If you find this exercise too easy, complete two three-sentence examples for both bonding and bridging social capital. Later, you can ask your partner which three-sentence examples were strongest.)
Pair (F.A.I.R.):
With a partner, share your bonding and bridging social capital three-sentence examples.
F - Freely share only what you are comfortable sharing from your bonding and bridging social capital three-sentence examples. (Partner A)
A - Articulate what you think the main idea was from their share. (Partner B)
I - Inquire kindly about wonders or confusions you have from what they share. (Partner B)
R - Responsively reply; in other words, address whether your partner understands your bonding and bridging social capital three-sentence examples the way you meant for them to be understood and clarify any wonders or confusions with a rationale. (Partner A)
Sheer:
If your partner was not close to understanding your bonding and bridging social capital three-sentence examples’ intended meaning when they articulated and inquired, then sheer—change course quickly by way of editing your bonding and bridging social capital three-sentence examples.
