Differentiate between bonding and bridging social capital within the context of social work practice.
What will be an ideal response?
Bonding social capital is inward looking and tends to mobilize solidarity and in-group loyalty, and it leads to exclusive identities and homogeneous communities. It may also lead to strong out-group hostilities. This type of social capital is often found in minority ethnic enclaves that provide psychological, social, and economic support to members. It is also found in many rural communities. Bridging social capital is outward looking and diverse, and it links community members to assets and information across community boundaries. Social workers aim to maximize bridging social capital in order to reduce out-group hostility and discrimination and to maximize opportunities, particularly for the disenfranchised.
