“…There is a modern concurrence (Boeck et al, 2006;Edwards et al, 2003;Schneider et al, 1997) that children who have had less exposure to social capital are more inclined to make poorer choices. Iphigenia's privileged social position, as a princess, has allowed for a healthy exposure to social capital and its influence can be seen in the maturity of her reasoning: "You bore me for the common good of the Greeks, not for yourself alone […] Greece is wronged, and shall my life, my single life, prevent all this" (1386-1390).…”

This paper explores the progression of women through the medium of social capital within the extant works of Euripides, with an aim to ascertain the level of influence social capital held in the progression of the Euripidean female. In order to achieve this, we take into consideration how traditional perceptions and behaviours of femaleness were adjusted by Euripides to combat social conventions, and empower his female characters. We also examine how Euripides used audience familiarity to implement female progression, whilst simultaneously maintaining an adequate level of androcentrism that would appease the contemporary audience and retain a positive reception. After considering the traditional roles of women, and the familiar, we conclude that as a mechanism for change, progression, and the empowerment of the Euripidean female, the use of social capital was a crucial agency of influence.

“…Equally importantly, the concept of social capital is seen as a significant element for enhancing young people's social networks, which are formed in their neighborhoods, schools, and interest groups. Social capital is also believed to play an important role in enabling young people to overcome obstacles and move their lives in positive directions [22][23][24].

Desistance from crime is a popular topic in global criminological research; however, few studies have focused on desistance among delinquent youth, particularly in non-Western societies. This study extends the current knowledge by examining pathways of youth desistance in Hong Kong. Thirty delinquent youth and six parent–child dyads were interviewed, and the study found that filial piety significantly impacts the process of youth desistance. Three main forms of social capital were closely associated with youth desistance: the revival of reciprocal family bonding, the presence of a prosocial role model, and religious bonding. An interactive model was constructed to illustrate the seven stages of desistance and highlight the key elements for successful desistance among youth delinquents in Hong Kong.
