SOC 1100 Northeastern University Why Might Acquaintances Be More Important to Us in A Job Search than Our Family Paper We are members of both primary and secondary groups and networks.  Why might acquaintances be more important to us in a job search than our family?  In other words, when is embeddedness more important than weak ties?  Incorporate the idea of social capital in your answer.   Compare your own cultural or subcultural experiences to the analysis of the United States in general.  Do you feel like you are “bowling alone”?  [See Robert Putnam’s discussion and analysis of social capital.]   Why or why not, explain and give examples.
