This is when connect with people who are essentially different from us, but we have some affinity that creates a bridge that we use to relate. These relationships grow us because we begin to accept differences through the security of the affinity that started the connection.Slide19

Bonding Social Capital

These are the relationships that we have a strong connection of similarity. When this strong identity causes us to relate easily and quickly. These commonalities can be ethnicity, religion, age, experience and other factors that make us similar This basic identification creates an easy empathy and sympathy and sense of security.Slide20

The magic of community is when similarity overrides difference an creates a bond. Through this bond people begin to help each other and that synergy creates an upward effect for everyone involved.Slide31
