Hi Nancy, the project that you propose develops a broader perspective of environmental conservation and sustainability as a collective social action. Environmental issues and preservation require public awareness and communal participation. The social network theory and social capital show that the community is a set of individuals with ties and relations that can be utilized to accomplish a common objective (Aldrich and Michelle, 6). The example can be seen from your project proposal by communicating with the companies that make the plastic cups, the breweries industries, environmental organizations, media houses, and city council to work together and realize a plastic-free concert surrounding. The aftermath of venues and festivals is marked by numerous wastes and plastic items sprawled all over the place. The use of metallic flasks or cups will reduce the amount of wastes by providing the festival attendees with reusable appliances. Through this, the entire community will be involved in the process of securing the environment.
Agustinus’ Post
Hi Agustinus, James Coleman is a social capital protagonist who gives guidelines for seeking and building adequate social capital for a project or an initiative. The best way of attaining social capital is by considering it from the viewpoint of collective action. The aspect entails the political and economic performances of international and local communities (Aldrich and Michelle, 12). How do the individuals utilize social capital and resources to solve the challenge of collective action? The answer lies within reciprocity and coordination of interactions and processes between people and their assets. The response provides a vivid outline of the appropriate way to create value by selecting a team of sponsors and developers who can assist in the realization of a social initiative. The response also shows the essence of social networking in the formulation of pathways and relationships that will sustain a social project or product.
