Lab #15

I went out into my neighborhood to see if people could name their neighbors. One of the people knew a lot of his neighbors while most only knew 1 or 2 of their neighbors. This shows that social capital is definately not very high around where I live. Just another thing that shows this low social capital is the fact that when I am home I never see anyone outside in my neighborhood and if I do they usually aren't very friendly.

Watch video below to see results :)

  4. Your video was really awesome. I think the results would be about the same in my neighborhood. Except for one or two people who know everybody.

  5. It's astonishing how much social capital is decreasing.
    I know my neighborhood is relatively social capitalistic, though.
