He mentioned that haves are treated by Others with more honesty and respect (Putnam, 2000, p. 138). Fukuyama’s views on social trust Trust is regarded as a necessity component of running a smooth society (Giddens, 1990) and it helps to glue the society together (Luhmann, 1979). All the theorists of the social capital theory also have identified trust as essentiatial and necessary componenet of social capital (Graham, 2016). Putnam has also mentioned about the trust and he has talked about the thick trust and thin trust (Putnam, 2001). But Putnam understand the Trust in a narrow sense and he provide minimal distinction between thick trust and thin trust (Graham, 2016:23). Trust embedded in personal relationships which are strong can be categories …show more content…
Thin trust I s trust where arise because they have shared social network and with the feeling of something common with them. For an example refugees from different countries can have a thin trust when they have shared network. But it is not strong as thick trust. Putnam argues the social trust is strongly linked with the social capital (Graham, 2016). As I have mentioned earlier Putnam (2001) does not give more explanation and attention on the social trust and the two types of the social trusts name as thick trust and thin trust. Fukuyama (1995) has given more attention to the social trust and social capital. Therefore, I have used Fukuyamas view on social trust and social capital in this study. Fukuyama (1995:) has explained the trust; “social capital is a capability that arises from the prevalence of the trust in a society or in a certain part”. Furthermore, he elaborates his idea “communities depend on mutual trust and will not arise spontaneously without it” (Fukuyama, 1995:159). Moreover, he explains trust is an expectation of a community which arise because of honest, cooperative behaviour, based on community on shared norms, on the part of other members in the community. According to Fukuyama also trust is a central to be function the social …show more content…
To activate social capital both internal and external organisations are required, NGOs and CBOs can play an important role to activate the social capital (Ahmed and Haque, 2007). As we have identified Putnam and Fukuyama also highlighted that voluntary associations and community organisations are important to create social capital. Graham (2016: 24), “social capital is maintaining within the sphere of civil society, through voluntary associations and everyday social interactions “. Putnam (1993), also defines social capital as features of social organisations such as networks, norms and trust that facilitate coordination and cooperation for mutual benefits (Adhikari,2008). Putnam explains the forms of social capital dividing to two main sections as formal and informal. Formal forms of social capital like PTA (Parent-Teacher associations), national organisations, labour unions where formally organised with a chairmen, president and memberships (Putnam, 2001b). Informal forms of social capital can explain as group people gather in a bar every week end, going clubs in Friday evening (ibid). but those two forms constitute network in which there can easily make reciprocity (Putnam, 2001b). CBOs as a formal form of social capital which is working for building social network, and social trust and it leads to the reciprocity. Edward (2004:07) explains the importance of voluntary organisations in a
