Robert Putnam's book "Bowling Alone" focused on the trend of declining interest in community-based activities and organizations, which he attributed to a decline in social capital. He argued that people were becoming more isolated and disconnected from their communities, and that this was having negative effects on civic engagement and social well-being. Putnam cited examples such as declining rates of voting, volunteerism, and participation in social clubs as evidence of this trend.
