Dave, Anna, and Kayleigh….
We interviewed a man who was al ot different compared to us. His name is Mark David Naquin Sr. He was born on November 29, 1956 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This state is a place where had nothing but seafood and beer, so it was pretty obvious that he was a person that loved to party back in his days. His job as a career is being an Anesthesiologist. He has done this job for at least 20 to 25 years. But, when he was younger, he wanted to be a mortician because he didn’t think he would be smart enough to be a doctor. During high school, he ran track and a first baseman at baseball, so it’s really obvious he didn’t do anything artsy. However, back in 80s, he did have a chance to see Mikhail Baryshnikov live in Spartanburg, South Carolina. But he injured his foot, so he saw Rudolf Nureyev, who takes Baryshnikov’s place. He told me that it was obvious that other dancers were better because he was older, but Nureyev was still amazing. As he graduated high school, he thought about being a doctor again and was willing to take the challenge. He did this because back in his day, being a doctor was the job to make a lot of money. So, he went to LSU (Louisiana State University) and studied really hard, and went to medical school to get his medical license and doctorate degree. He tells it’s a very scary job, but he loves his job because he’s good at these things. Afterwards, I thought I would ask him what social capital like in Baton Rouge, Louisiana was. He told me where he came from, he was in the college community since he live really close to LSU. He told me how interesting it was about the state because south of Louisiana was people who speak French, and north of Louisiana was rednecks

We think that Facebook is amazing! Facebook is a great way to keep in touch with people who are too far away to visit or call. Although there are always the chances of online predators, now a days websites have really improved the protection of private information. Facebook and Myspace have a very positive effect on social capital. Without these websites friends would come and go very quickly, but now we can keep the friends that we've made for a VERY long time.

It's Good to Have Friends

We think that the reason for the drop of close friends in the past couple of years is not because we do not have friends, but because we have less close friends. This might sound a little weird, but I think that now a days since we have more friends, our expectations of close friends have gone up. Before people had less acquaintances and so they considered friends that they knew well, but were not necessarily close, "close friends". We also agree with Sara, Mary and Dawn with the fact that now, with technology, we can keep in touch with a wide range of people, and we meet new people without really being close friends with them.
