Define social capital and how it is developed

What will be an ideal response?


Social capital: Positive relations with individuals and institutions, as in a successful marriage or a successful career, that support conventional behavior and inhibit deviant behavior. Social capital, which includes the resources accessed through interpersonal connections and relationships, is as critical to individuals (and to social groups, organizations, and communities) in obtaining their objectives as is human capital, what a person (or organization) actually possesses. Social capital also produces elements of informal social control that produce and support conventional behavior and inhibit deviant behavior.
