The Civil Society; Bowling Alone Concept
Humanities
Lots of options for you to think about, discuss, and share your opinion about surrounding civil society.Things we talked about in class:
-is civil society really trending in the wrong direction – are we really (still) ‘Bowling Alone’?
-talk to your parents, and others you know, are people still in groups/organizations? why or why not?
-is technology ruining civil society?
-are online groups the same as in-person groups? what counts?
-is civil society only for old people?
-is civil society just an American thing? what about other countries/regions?
-does the trend in civil society have anything to do with the current state of American politics – Trump, polarization, political violence, ?
Do some more reading and thinking about some of these questions, write it up. Share in class.
