Social networking is the expansion of social contacts by making connections through individuals, and the two well-known types of capitals are bonding capital and bridging capital. The linkages of the two capitals have a massive influence on immigrants to communicate and be affiliated to the community. For instance when a group of individuals from one culture associate with other immigrants from another culture and “involve relationships beyond a tight-knit community, it’s likely to promote a sense of belonging to the larger society” (Pearce, 2008). In contrast if immigrants only interact with people from their own culture they most likely will not be aware of the larger society, which can reinforce the identification with the source country.
