Community recognition
Template:TWCleanup Community recognition happens when people in a communal or social group think you have done a notable thing, whether good or bad. Generally it is a form of meritorious recognition, often related to informal or formal awards and/or celebration, such as the annual Phoenix, Arizona Community Recognition Awards and related breakfast where such awards are presented.[1]
In The Forms of Capital (1986) Pierre Bourdieu distinguishes between three forms of capital: economic capital, cultural capital and social capital. He defines social capital as "the aggregate of the actual or potential resources which are linked to possession of a durable network of more or less institutionalized relationships of mutual acquaintance and recognition."[2] Thus, community recognition can be defined as a form of social capital.
