Introduction
Social capital is the structural resource allocation in terms of relationship, networks, and
accessibility of governance institutions in the society. It is regarded to act as the foundation for
the effective social service offered by the citizens (Aldrich and Meyer, 2015). Societies that are
strongly operational are well stocked with a strong social capital. However, the presence of
social capital depends on how elaborative the research about its merits and demerits affects the
whole community. For instance, the concept of social capital appears to be more relevant when
citizens demonstrates the good will to trust in the service, civil engagements and morals, mutual
cooperation, and networking. As a result, this paper will ascertain the extent on ways to which
depth research works on the social capital has modified the current citizenship affairs
(Ljungholm, 2016).
Social Capital and its importance to Modern Approaches to Citizen
According to Ponzetto and Troiano (2018), researchers have regarded the social capital
and trust as an asset in inducing the citizenship services. These include citizenship commitments
and responsibilities, together with their awareness of their rights to act appropriately. Since early
17th centuries, citizenship has been a major concept in the public policy and global governance
with many scholars finding the correlation between the social capital and the citizenship in terms
of service delivery. According to Turner (2016), there are two dimensions that are considered to
be important in the citizenship culture in terms of social capital responsibilities. These include
the citizen’s rights and the relationship between the government and the citizens. As a result,
research on social capital thus depends on how the citizens observe the rights of other people in

performing their duties. What is considered essential in the research between social and modern
citizen approaches is the social context that promotes the culture that embraces humanity.
Citizenship approaches emphasizes on the basis of commitments and concepts of a
common goal of global orders. It is therefore argued that comparison with the social capital,
citizenship is a service that calls for commitments and priority. In general, citizenship involves
the respect for one another’s respects and a responsibility for sense of closeness (Ljungholm,
2016). This is measured in social capital index which takes in to consideration economic
resources and job opportunities. In a society, there are numerous cases where social capital is
more liable to the society than its importance. For example, when linking the social capital to the
nepotism, corruption, and judgmental injustices; it can be used to control the society in a wrong
way.
Research on social capital proves that both economic and political classes in the society
with regard to education level are primarily the main causes of social capital. As a result, the
more wealthy and educated the society, the higher the level of its social capital accessibility
(Dower and Williams, 2016). At the same time, the poor in the society will be bound to lack of
primary access to the social capital in large because they lack economic power to participate in
the decision makings in the society. As a result, the research to collate importance of the social
capital in the modern society should be used to impact the less privileged people in the society.
This can be done through promoting the modern structures for the justice and human rights in the
communities and neighborhoods with little social capital accessibilities (Ponzetto and Troiano,
2018).
