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"

Socializing

Something every student dreams of, but due to oppressive circumstances, the cruel and ruthless teachers/faculty will rarely allow you to do this freely, because as soon as recess ends, it's back to your desk and pencil . As you get older, nobody even wants to socialize anymore because people are forced to work and most people are married, therefore if you're caught talking to the wrong person, it might look like you're hitting on someone and you could be killed for it.

Teacher: Okay children, so in the Boston Tea Par...excuse me I need EVERYONE'S UNDIVIDED ATTENTION NOW OR ELSE I WILL ASSIGN MORE HOMEWORK KEEP IN MIND THE GRADING SYSTEM IS ABOUT TO GET...ADJUSTED...OKAY JOHNNY DO YOU NEED DETENTION FOR BEING DISRUPTIVE??? YOU NEED TO STOP SOCIALIZING AND PAY ATTENTION
