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.

Simp Capture

The psychological or practical state of expectation to be successful in convincing another person (usually seen as somehow inferior or exploitable) to have a task completed for you, usually by means of charm, coercion, baiting, promising a particular desired reciprocation, or to be able to exercise a particular privilege. It is rarely acknowledged and usually expected to not be seen as morally or ethically inappropriate or unacceptable, and may or may not cause one psychological distress depending on a real or expected outcome of success, the person’s own moral or ethical awareness, social normalization of the action of simp capture, or real or perceived perception of personal ineffectiveness in doing the desired action themselves.
