Wielokulturowość a kapitał społeczny?

Abstract

The modern world is described among others by multicultural phenomenon. It is the world which penetrates different cultures in the social space. The cultures came here by immigration revolution in the world. In this context arises a question about the relation between multiculturalism and social capital, or networks contact among people and above all values like trust and social dialogue. How has social capital been changed by multiculturalism? On the one hand, we have negative pictures for example withdrawal of immigrants from social life, isolation and gettoization. This context doesn’t strengthen the social capital. On the other hand, growth rise of tolerance, good social dialogue and including immigrants in to the mainstream of social life. The modern world sets a lot of new challenges and demands a sociological analysis, the beginnings of which we presents in this article.
