Hope; It is used to express positive expectations and is expressed as individuals' self-efficacy and optimism. Social hope refers to individuals' expectations and belief in social dreams and collective visions for the good and meaningful life and future within the society and group to which they belong. Social cohesion, social capital and economic expectations are important factors in increasing the faith and hopes of the social lower classes and especially immigrant individuals for the future. Social capital and social cohesion can act as levers in reducing or eliminating ethnic or class inequalities.
