"Building Social Capital and Community Engagement As Strategy for Survival and Sustainability"

Men often hate each other because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don't know each other; they don't know each other because they can not communicate; they can not communicate because they are separated.
Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Rugged individualism simply does not cut it! You get yours and I got mine is severely demeaning and builds hopelessness. We are living in a time folk when we need to bring back the village of the day. A village where we knew one another, connected to one another, borrowed a cup of sugar from one another, respected and looked out for one another. More of us need others than we need to be alone. How do we renew the relationships and connections to one another and the resources within our communities? What is social capital? What is the importance of building social capital? A major part of our current challenge is that we have broken the connections we have had with one another. Its time to get it all back on the radar screen time to tune in. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/elevate-the-soul 6pm Thurs.

Individualism is what built Western civilization. Cultural Marxist policies have been a disaster for black people, the divorce rate among black couples used to be just 15 percent in the 60's!
