social trust is the raw material that makes rich social capital possible. not trust any particular neighbor who happens to be your friend, but a generalized expectation that the people around you will do the right thing. take that away, and even the possibility of community disappears. in fishtown the percentage of people agree with the statements people are generally tried to be fair, people are generally helpful, and people can be generally trusted have all dropped by more than half since the early 1970s, and probably a lot more than that since the beginning of the 1960s. only about 20% of people now agree people can be generally trusted. i know that this discussion of social capital and community leaving open to an accusation of nostalgia for an america that was never as rosy as i implied. it is also fact that many people in the new upper class don't particularly care about community anyway. they are happy with a professional associations and the networks and friends who are scattered all over the metropolitan area. who needs community? i grant both of t

so your view what is socialism. i have no choice here it's me so she can use they can learn social. not exactly turns out many americans have no idea what socialism is and yet it equates to a dirty word in american politics but what if i told you that most young people in america actually support it. it is friday march sixteenth four pm in washington d.c. and christine for us out here watching r t. well starting off this friday afternoon a look at what's ahead for the relationship between the u.s. and afghanistan given the events of the past week started late saturday night early sunday morning with the killing of sixteen afghan civilians mostly children and two villages in the punjab we district of khandahar province afghan president hamid karzai said the story told by u.s. . visuals is far different from the accounts given by the villagers themselves an afghan parliamentary investigation team has implicated as many as twenty u.s. troops far different than nato is insistence that it was simply one rogue soldier behind the massacre an order has been given by karzai that the us soldi

media or social networking. it's called office of attorney general's network use agreement. it basically says staff can use social media as a tool for approved services only, which includes professional networking, they are allowed to do. if someone in the office wants to be on linked in for professional purposes, we allow them to do that. we want them otherwise to use social networking for other official -- other purposes that furthered the mission of the attorney general's office. but again we clarify in the policy or emphasize in the policy use of social media for personal purposes is not admitted and no de minimus exception. if i go once a day to update my status, that would be okay. we have a brightline rule. no de minimus use whatsoever. our state governor's office as a whole also put ou out a document called guidelines and best practices published by the office of the governor in coordination with a number of state agencies. this was provided to you as well. this is a more elaborate exposition of state po

the people who are active in politics and civics and social media places and in social networks sites and blogging and youtube and things like that. people were atvy different income levels. we're participating at the same level. there was a lot more differences between races and ethnic groups and there was more between generations. that was true in 2008, and we're anxious to see whether that equaler of the common space and civic space carries through to later yeears. in social media younger people are more active, and younger people haven't completed their educations or ernlgs power. it may be in the years to some, we'll see that social stratification reashert itself. these young people as they age will get richer and better educated and they will sort of separate out from others who are not necessary involved in civic spaces. right now there's real hope that social media is leveling the playing field in civic life in a way we haven't seen in a long time. >> it really struck me bh you talk about use of social media. it has been so much more young people, that for a long time people t

really means but in your view what is socialism. i have annoyed. me socialist means they can unsociable if i go to college and i don't know what it means and how to really expect mainstream america to know more than i do it mainstream america can't figure out what it means perhaps a socialist can help clear up some of the misconceptions i'm opening a socialist you know we have ran for office a socialist we tell the community i was socialist and the community here by a large supports what we do so what about obama. i wish obama was a socialist i wish that he would distribute the wealth in a way that would benefit the majority of the people of this country but by no means is obama a socialist what's happening in venezuela and bolivia in other parts of the world that socialism where the masses of the people now have control of the resources of that country that is patently not the case here in the us where a small minority still controls the best majority of the nation's wealth but piers that young people seem not so opposed to the ide

the social security act passed in 1935 and it gave the unemployment insurance, social security and our welfare system but became aid to dependent children which was originally designed to help the children of mothers who were left to care for their children alone and these were mostly widows at the time. the fair labor standards act passed in 1938 said a 40-hour workweek to prevent workers from becoming broken from exhaustion. it set the minimum wage to ensure they would receive at least a minimum level of compensation. there was a ban on child labor and they created the concept to overtime pay in which workers who are asked to work longer hours can receive higher pay for doing so. but that's not all she did. she was a major supporter of fha insurance which has provided housing over the years to millions of american families. she was a primary architect of the civilian conservation corps which became one of the most popular early programs in the roosevelt administration coming universally popular. almost universally popular. [laughter] and she was the largest single supporter of the wo

look, folks, social security. social security is in better shape. but here again, republicans have an approach on social security that they say "saves social security for the next 75 years." and they do it by cutting the benefits. some salvation. a plan like the one that governor romney has introduced would cut social security benefits for your kids and your grandkids, cut by $2,400 a year for a double co-worker in their 40's. it would cut by $4,700 social security coverage anyone working in their 20's would get by the time they retire. here is the thing that nobody has really noticed, governor romney and the rest of supported a thing republican leaders call cut, cap, and balance. they call it cut, cap, and balance. another one of those new republican party plans which are probably the right-tested words. cut, cap, and balance. except nobody knows what it really means. nobody knows exactly what they intend. because like so many of the most damaging things, it looks and sounds innocuous, so let me cut through -- no pun intended, and tell you what it

it's not just social networks, social networks and cell phones. protesters in bahrain, when the cell phone and the ability to take a photo of what was happening to them and their ability to transmit that around the world helped like save them at very, very difficult part moments. and then what we saw with occupy wall street, where people, the horses left the barn. people are documenting their experiences, and social media is here to stay and learn how to use it responsibly and in a smartly is everyone's responsibility. >> i'm just amazed at the way we can connect. when i was democrat and shopping i was out walking in d.c., and spotted a whole bunch of women stuff spilled on the sidewalk. i assume that maybe she had had a fight with her boyfriend and he dumped her stuff outside your but i spotted a prescription, and because i'm naturally curious, i flipped it over and her name was there. so i googled her and her twitter account came up. and it said six hours earlier that her car had been broken into. so i tweeted after i said hey, i think i just fo

the other point i'll make about social media, you may recall, we needed to work with the social mediacompanies because if you look at their standards, it con contains provisions we did not feel comfortable with, and we negotiated on behalf of all the states special provisions in terms for the states, and, john, if you want to comment on that, you're welcome to, but we can make those available to any of you interested in seeing them, but needless to say we're difficult in government, and we didn't think one size fit all policy from the social media companies like facebook worked for us, and we basically got changes negotiated successful with the companies. they were not entirely happy to do it, but to their credit, they did so. bottom line is beyond all of the, you know, usual legal considerations of politic conversations, social media prevents an arare of useful tools, and we make heavy use of social media, particularly in the consumer protection division center. for example, we tweet consumer alerts about new scams we're aware of, push out public press releases over twitter and throu

how different it would be in the age of social media. people would tweet about individual sentence fragments as it was up happening. people would rip it apart or cheering it very vociferously from the moment he started speaking. people would break into very dercht kinds of conversations that might have taken place in barbershops and restaurants and churches. so the scale of the conversation is different now because of these things. what was unique about radio was all of a sudden at once into a broad, broad audience at the moment, someone could be commanding the stage. >> i'm going to show one other clip, and i want bob to respond after we show this. keep in mind, that was 1933. so it was 20 years later that stevenson received to be sold like a box of soap so did not use television advertising in his first bid for the white house as the democratic candidate in 1952 realized advertised in television was here to stay. that was a dominant form of getting the message in and out 1966. this in 1960 as the candidates realized television was here

if they stayed, they wouldn't be suffering the social calamities, right? i think again when you take structure into consideration and ask about the history, the simple fact of white people leaving doesn't explain what caused the crisis. also, just by saying white people left the cities, leaves it asable individual choice when again based on what you read there were structures put in place. suburbanization was a process facilitated by government, underwritten by housing interests and funded by banks and suburbanization was a process of spatial segmentation and racial segregation in which all of these structures were involved. it is not just simply a matter of white people were leaving and that's what caused these problems and heather tomp an so, she makes an interesting argument where she says white flight doesn't really kind of begin to end until the 1970s, right, and these are cities erupting in the mid-1960s, and she argues it is the mid-1970s if you really look at detroit white flight reaches its climax in the mid-1970s and beyond and she making the arg

and in 1937, president roosevelt appointed her to the social security board. where she also play add key role in shaping the 1939 amendments. like all other maternalists, molly duson was a fierce foe of the proposed equal rights amendment to the u.s. constitution. as actual or potential mothers, she thought, women needed special legal protection. she also endorsed thebread-winning role of men regarding the proposed amendments, she explained, men who can afford it always consider it their first duty to provide insurance protection for their wives and children. survivor benefits extend the same kind of protection to families who need it most, and can afford it least. in addition, molly duson underscored the importance of strong families to the nation as a whole. when you begin to help the family to attain s

social worker sze lai shan comes here, too.he brings the tenants blankets and jackets -- things they otherwise couldn't afford. for 16 years, she's been working with the underdogs of rich hong kong. she helps them apply for apartments in the city's limited social housing. the old factory space is dirty. sanitary conditions are deplorable. one floor of this building has been split into 38 tenements with a level squeezed inbetween. each tenant pays from 130 to 250 euros a month, netting the landlord a minimum of 5- thousand, and as much as 9- thousand euros each month. 56-year-old lee oi lin suffers from asthma. her staple meal: powdered soup. it's cheap and she doesn't need a stove. she used to work as a nurse, but an injury forced her to quit. now she makes due on her monthly 300 -euro welfare check. she's been here for 4 years. >> we all keep our door closed. we don't talk to each other. we also share one toilet, which i don't like. sometimes there are quarrels. it's a complicated place, especially for a single woman. there's

cutting right back on the social on the payroll tax which is the contribution to social security that's fine it's help to lower labor costs help to raise employment but it's all good. it's got to make sure that the finances of social security are safe and that probably should mean that they should raise the cap on contributions to social security it stops now at about one hundred thousand dollars income a year and it should be raised to compensate for the fact that it's been cut back at lower levels now these seem like you know quite technical issues but they're not very very important to the lives of tens of millions of americans and of hundreds or thousands of millions throughout the world chinese workers deserve a better deal they deserve better wages and they deserve what would be even even more important they deserve good social security and that would mean made save less and do less to create the problem of low demand very interesting robin thank you so much for being with us this is fast thank you. thank you to seymour has to revisit his conversations with great minds you can go

i want to acknowledge the social worker -- long time social worker and a friend of mine have -- has passed away, left us peacefully on march 1 with his family by his side in san bruno. he was a richmond district resident and his mother was a longtime resident of the richmond district as well. he courageously battling brain cancer for the second time in his life. he was born in japan and move to san francisco as a child. prior to moving, he had with his wife lived on fifth avenue in the richmond district and at 17th avenue. he was always as city person and enjoyed walking to places until recently. his mother was a longtime resident also of the richmond district. she had a home child-care business on fourth avenue. now the twitter service center. he leaves behind his wife, susan, of 17 and a half years of -- and his beautiful children. his mother, his sister, and her husband david and their daughter. his mother and her mother-in- law, his brother-in-law, and others. he graduated from sacred heart high school in san francisco and received his bachelor's degree and a master's in counseling. i

santorum or newt gingrich plus if you look on their web sites mitt romney really doesn't get into social issues as much as the other two candidates do and they make a very strong position about things such as religion and abortion where mitt romney stays more on issues such as the economy on trade and those type issues that i think are a little more or less controversy or not ok well. in a second and in the studio with me here mr obama mr obama must be quite pleased if he were to ask you not to give money to mr obama then he'd be very happy if you gave it to mr romney. possibly possibly but of course we're sitting as a democrat and we are sitting over here i am sitting over here and somewhat amused by this. it's seems to not generate any enthusiasm on the parts of the middle the middle part of the spectrum the people and swing voters who obama's going to have to recapture if he's going to win in november and seeing the scrum rolling towards the right is certainly giving us a little bit of. the term so yes there is a little bit of. maybe. distracted interest in our part of the law ok and

about the social issues and the fiscal issues every one of these candidates need to stay on the fiscal issues because that is what all americans care about right now all this other stuff it doesn't really matter we want to stay focused on the right thing i mean amiable explained to me time explain to me that i explain to me why someone like rick santorum does go to that goes to the cultural wars i think we all know you everyone knows what i mean by this because that is totally self destructive for the republican party ok and obama is going to be loving it because the republicans more than more than the democrats divide themselves on cultural issues i mean what is centaur i'm doing this because that's the only way he'll attract voters. so what we tell you something peter i agree with you it is not good great for us to focus on that right now recently i had a social conservative radio talk show host say to me any we feel like the tea party is kicking a social conservatives to the curb and you need us and i said you're right we do need you but we also need those independents and moderates

social security is something that we have less confidence in than we did before. and so the -- you know, the private pension plans and the 401(k)s are really what we're going to be relying upon. this was not intended to be front and center our retirement plans. these were supposed to be supplemental plans. what the imperative is now is that the responsibility for retirement savings there is so little nst. . >> kevin, your company released a stud dwla asked people about attitudes towards personal investing. people seemed to say two things that are contradictory. on the one hand, government, help me. on the other hand, hands off my money. take your filthy hands off my safety net s this cognitive or sensitive for people to have a sense of i want the promised government made for me to be there whether i retire but i also want a space where i can make my own personal decisions without proper support from the government? >> i'm not so sure that the results are as ominous or conflicting as you might think. we did release a study this morning. there are copies -- the real

less than 50% of the elderly were drawing support from social security. it was still sort of a limited system, not all professions and jobs were covered. and the amounts given were supplemental, not -- you didn't live on it. you needed something else. while over 60% of social security -- of the elderly were drawing support from their grown children, which might be called the traditional way of solving the problem. by 1980, 13 years later, the proportion on social security was nearly 90%. the proportion drawing support from their own children was about 3%. the one form of support had completely driven out the other form of support. that was because benefits just increased so much. that was not the original intent of the creators of the system. nor was it to create a system that encouraged out of wedlock berths. but once sort of discipline on the system broke down, as it did in the '60s, the moral hazards of the system broke free, and became -- i agree, became damaging to american families, rather than strengthening. another question? >> one or two more que

media or social networking.it's called the office of the attorney general social networking use agreement, and it basically just says that staff may use social media as a tool for approved agency purposes only which includes professional networking which they're allowed to do, so if someone in our office wants to be on linkedin for professional purposes we allow them to do that, and we want them otherwise to use social they canning for other official -- networking for other official, other purposes that further the mission of the attorney general's office. but again, we clarify in the policy or emphasize in the policy that use of social media for personal purposes is not permitted, and there is noty men miss exception which is important, i think, because sometimes people will think, well, if i just go on my facebook page once a day to update my status, that would be okay, wouldn't it? so we have a bright line rule which is no de minimis use whatsoever. our state government as a whole through the governor's offic

social movements need leaders. the note of successful social movements have had charismatic leaders. going back to the 19th century. how does occupy wall street move forward and accomplish its goals? getting arrested is not going to cut it. who is going to lead this movement to the next phase? is there anybody you can identify that can be that kind of leader? >> that's a great question. i think social movements of the 20th century had leaders. we're in uncharted territory in the 21st century. fact they're leaderless means that leaders can't be targeted in the same way as civil rights leaders or feminist leaders were or taken out in the case of the black panthers in the '60s. >> you talk about the concept of the empty signy fire. the idea that occupy started out so broad and literally empty of ingredients that people were able to attach whatever meaning they wanted and get excited about it. the terry party was like that, too. it started out talking about mortgages and government aid and morphed into all sorts of thi

they had really strong social safety net programs. a lot of these new deal programs to deal with questions of poverty, housing, education, social service, health and welfare, right, all these things that come about in cities, in the first -- or second third of the 20th century, one argument for the cause of cities' decline is that they were spending too much. they were spending too much money. they were just spending too much money. too much money on social programs. but also, too much money on labor. in short, city workers in northeastern and midwestern cities, they lived too good. they had it too good. their pensions were too high, their salaries were too high, their productivity was not competitive with a free market. so the argument that whaus ee e caused the urban crisis was cities outspent themselves. and unions had such a strong powerful grip on city politics, this is what some people would argue, that there was no escaping this problem. you can't get away from the liberal spending because unions are too powerful. they'll go on
