Ideals of social capital and civic engagement developed early in the United States and became a significant strength in the fabric of our nation. They have become iconic emblems of what it means to be a citizen of this country. Today's move to systems of social networking has been used to enhance public participation in decision making, resource allocation, and public value. Using the resources you located and the two Web sites you explored in this unit's first study, describe methods of global sharing in today's society. Continue by analyzing their impact on the concept of social networking as a means of public participation as defined by de Tocqueville and Putnam. Make sure to include references to at least three peer-reviewed sources in addition to the Web sites.

Based on the unit readings, apply the notion of global citizen to the domain of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). For more on AGOA, revisit the Bureau of African Affairs Web site. Critically analyze how the key provisions and goals of AGOA help to promote, on behalf of the United States and its citizens, the notion of global citizenship. How does the governance structure of AGOA allow public administrators who are affected by it to engage effectively as global citizens? Does it impose any constraints?
