What do the authors say about the challenges of generating social capital in our current day?

With the readings by Robert Putnam and Stephanie Dutchen in mind, write an essay in which you discuss the issue of community building in the age of online social networks.

What do the authors say about the challenges of generating social capital in our current day, and do you think that it is possible for people to maintain connections and create real communities in the age of Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter?

In your essay, you must convey a clear understanding of the texts, either by integrating them into your argument or, at least, by summarizing them.

Your essay should include no fewer than two citations, in MLA style, from each of the readings. Citations should include page numbers, not paragraph numbers.
