Solving the Bowling Alone problem with civil society groups

Post Reply New Topic

Putnam's book bowling alone examines the isolation of US individuals the decline of civic organizations and the threat that poses to Us democracy. The problem of social capital. I suppose the solution is to seek out college clubs in the real world. Does anyone have ideas for the type of community groups are out there? I suppose neighborhood associations, freemasons, fraternal orders, political and activist groups, athletic leagues etc It gives you the experience of an Athenian citizen at a town meeting. Anyone have ideas on groups?
