Social Capital

Everyone has missed the point of what social capital is to the community you live in. Like it or not, not everyone has highlights in their social, school, or religion that enables them to capitalize on it. At the least, social capital is inequality. Those who have the communication, economic, and educational skills necessary to capitalize upon the success of others does not include everyone in America. As we learned about the library, aspects of the Seattle library do not necessary reflect into an environment that is rewarding for all participants. It is a matter of who you know and not what you know ia another aspect of relationships that we have learned. What is missing is how those with capital restrict that access to those who do not. This is done not only from inferior educational institutions, but being employed in low skilled low wage jobs creates a generational pattern that cannot be ignored.

What a beautiful day it turned out to be. Love it when the sun shines and the snow glitters like crystal gold. Been back in Madison now for a few years. Sometimes I greatly miss the forest of the northwest. But, I.m here on a bucket list to finish school. So far, I don't doubt myself for not finishing up an education degree over 30 years ago. The state of education in America has gotten worse since I was in school. The only recourse left is to attack my concerns by going back to school. It's better then being a retired electrician sitting at home and watching replays of baseball games.
