Visit Jewish Identity and Identification of America’s Young Jews
At the turn of the 21st century, Robert Putnam wrote a book, Bowling Alone,
in which he argues, with considerable supportive data, that Americans are
increasingly detached from social groups such as community, and are less
likely to be involved in civic activities. They are less likely to join Parent Teacher
Associations, unions, political parties, and a host of other social groups, and
this, he argues, has serious implications for the future of American society.
