Q 1) Now, with what you have learned about the state of social capital in the United States, what do you think about the call to service to all Americans and the remarks made by presidents about the responsibility we all share? 2) Do you believe that Americans have been answering this call to service to strengthen the foundations of our country? 3) Do you believe that our social capital has indeed been weakened over the past few decades, as Putnam claims? 4) Reflect on the societal organizations/groups you belong to, volunteer for, and what you see of other people volunteering and belonging to groups. Consider the communities you live in. Are we "Bowling Alone" instead of in groups as in decades past?
