Among many definitions of SOCIAL CAPITAL, I offer one that might offer a better connection for improving HEALTH.
. SOCIAL CAPITAL may be defined as:
. the spontaneity occurring among a community's resident persons
. for using the norms of trust, cooperation, and reciprocity
. to resolve the social dilemmas they encounter daily
. that becomes more readily expressed by the community's persons
. when multi-generational caring relationships
. increasingly permeate the community's social networks.
CARING RELATIONSHIPS are defined as
. a social interaction involving two persons
. that begins with beneficent respect for each other's autonomy,
. thrives by each person's steady renewal of their adaptive skills, and
. flourishes from a timely intent to communicate 'in harmony'
. with warmth, non-critical acceptance, congruence, and empathy.
