Question 1
In trying to understand the causes of declining social capital, Putnam blames financial pressures on people, suburbanization, and
◦ the declining availability of bowling alleys.
◦ electronic home entertainment, especially television watching.
◦ increased population growth.
◦ a process that has been rising over the past 50 years.
Question 2
Klinenberg argues that the major cause of the differences in the social ecology and viability of community life between North Lawndale, the largely African American neighborhood, and Little Village, the largely Latino neighborhood, is
◦ the Catholic church.
◦ an excess of social capital in North Lawndale.
◦ the "culture of fear" in both neighborhoods.
◦ discriminatory racism.
