Social Capital

Social capital is the goodwill generated by people's ability to work together for common purposes. It has the potential to be a catalyst for action, empowerment and inspiration. It can influence peoples' capacity to thrive, and is a powerful factor in determining career and life success. Social capital cannot be held by an individual, as its very existence is stimulated by human interaction.

The effects of social capital flow from the information, influence, and solidarity that such goodwill generates.

It can also be used to describe the personal relationships within a company, that help build a culture of trust and respect among employees, leading to enhanced company performance and wellbeing.
Jenny didn't say, "I'll do this for you because you are more powerful than me". Nor did she say "I'll do x for you now, if you do y for me now".
Jenny built her social capital by saying, "I'll do this for you now, knowing that somewhere down the road, you will do something for me"

Social Studies

Another term of history. The most easiest subject to do, even more easier than eating lunch. Possibly the most useless and utter disappointment of what schools can do. If your period table has Social studies, lucky you. The only thing I properly learned was Sanskrit. Yes. Sanskrit. They focused on that one topic more than my family because it was the oh so inspiring language for everything.
Bro 1: yo, how social studies going along?
Bro 2: the most boring shit ever
Bro 1: you bet

social investing

Social investing, a practice embraced by many, carries inherent risks—especially for individuals lacking financial education. The allure of quick gains can lead to perilous outcomes when investors heed misguided recommendations and invest in assets such as meme stocks, penny stocks, or cryptocurrencies like GameStop, AMC, or Bitcoin, right before a market sell-off. This scenario underscores the importance of conducting thorough research and exercising caution when navigating the dynamic world of social investing.
