factors, whereas bonding social capital is inside a group or community. A variety of
relationship and network features can be used to make the bonding/bridging distinction.
The Internet and Civic Engagement
1. List five (5) reasons why one should practice civic engagement. Cite your resources in APA
format. (5 pts.)
1 For democracy- Young people have a significant say in how the country is
shaped. Education, healthcare, the environment, immigration, housing, gun
violence, and foreign policy that may send them or their peers to war are all
topics that affect kids, and many of them affect youth differently or uniquely.
Young people can provide significant insights to these issues and play an
active role in molding their future when they vote and participate in civic life.
Our democracy does not fully represent all people and does not reach its full
potential if youth are excluded or do not engage.

2 For communities- Youth are vital members of their communities: they assist
to define the culture and have a wide range of social relationships. Young
people are often on the front lines of activism and other initiatives to assist
address a community's problems because they have firsthand experience
with them. Youth participation makes communities stronger and more
resilient; prior research has found that higher levels of civic engagement can
help communities weather economic downturns and result in reduced
unemployment rates.

3 For youth- Participating in communities and being a member of organizations

working together on a problem provides several benefits for young people,
according to research. Increased academic performance and greater social-
emotional well-being can result from youth participation. It assists young
people in developing valuable employment skills and networks, and hence
can be a source of economic mobility. It may have a dramatic and long-term
influence when youth feel encouraged to take action and see their efforts
result in positive change.

4 Equity- Individuals and communities are hampered by serious opportunity

gaps and injustices caused by race, gender, education, socioeconomic
status, and a variety of other factors. Underrepresentation in civic and
 political life as a result of marginalization or oppression, particularly among
non-white, immigrant, and/or low-income communities and individuals, is
one root of this imbalance. Too frequently, their voices go unheard, their
problems go unsolved, and injustice is perpetuated by a vicious spiral of
disengagement and neglect. Focusing on young civic involvement is a vital
responsibility in the struggle to promote a more just and equitable society
since these already intractable inequities can become even more entrenched
over time.

5 Your community will trust you more- Simply put, the better and more
accurately informed and involved our community is, the more likely they are
to trust the institution engaging them. Trust is something that has been in
short supply in many communities. Edelman Trust research clearly suggests
that engagement is one way to build stronger trust with your community.
