Bonding & Bridging Social Capital

From the "Bowling Alone" article, Putnam describes Bonding and Bridging Social Capital on page 22 and 23. Combined from this article and lecture notes, I have created rough definitions of both types that Putnam identified. 

Bridging Social Capital--> Social networks or groups that are heterogeneous and focus on differences of the individuals within. These are inclusive groups that are open to a wider variety of people and provide a sociological WD-4D. While these groups are more accepting, they are harder to achieve, simply because they exist upon differences rather than similarities. Examples are the Civil Rights Movement and Youth Groups that focus on bringing children of different backgrounds together. 

Bonding Social Capital--> Social networks or groups that are homogenous and focus on similarities of the individuals within. These are exclusive groups that narrow a smaller group of people and provide a sociological super-glue. People in Bonding groups are more likely to have the same background, experiences, ethnicities, etc. Examples are Ethnic Fraternities or Sororities, Religious Groups, Country clubs, etc.
