Uticaj siromaštva na sticanje socijalnog kapitala kod učenika u internatima

Abstract

The paper primarily discusses a question of social capital and its acquisition in the process of socialization of students' homes-boarding schools; the way students actually acquire social capital while staying in boarding schools. Poverty, as an inevitable companion of almost all societies in transition that are still struggling after the collapse of socialism and trying to get on the path of stability, is a disruptive factor in the acquisition of social capital. It significantly influences the process of character socialization in a boarding school and especially affects social capital and its acquisition, because social capital is closely related to poverty. Actually, poverty is a determining factor of a badly built social capital, and, often, it is not unusual to see that conditions for obtaining negative social capital have been made. In this paper, we try to give answers to the basic questions related to the impact of poverty on the acquisition of social capital in students' boarding schools.
