	Community and the social scientist
		In that article, Putnam argued that a decline in the number of organized bowling leagues (among other such voluntary organizations) signified something deeper and more ominous: a shift in our culture toward an ethos of radical individualism and away from one in which the pervasiveness of such organizations encouraged social connectedness and civic engagement.
		It is meant to call a wayward people to repent of its bad habits and evil ways, to recover the fervor of its faith and the intensity of its devotion to the community, and to resolve to change direction, to return to the straight and righteous path.
		Yet the article also excited much criticism from Putnam's fellow social scientists, some of it quite stinging and dismissive, which took exception to his theoretical and methodological framework, his facts, and even his claim that things were getting worse.
