American Social History Discussion
Resources
Microsoft Word icon Figueira-McDonough, J., The welfare state and social work: Pursuing social justice text.
Website icon NASW Web Site. http://www.socialworkers.org/
Compare a period in American social history with this current period (1990s to present). For example, compare Today with the Colonial period, the Revolutionary period, the pre-Civil War era, the Reconstruction, the turn of the twentieth century, westward expansion, the First World War, the Great Depression, the Second World War, the Civil Rights era and Great Society, or the Seventies and Eighties.
How were "discriminated against, disadvantaged, and at-risk" people identified and perceived in both of these time periods?
What role was government expected to play and what role was the individual or family expected to play to improve conditions and outcomes for these "discriminated against, disadvantaged, and at-risk" people?
Use subheadings to identify the two time periods and respond to both questions for each time period. Rely primarily on the Figueira-McDonough text and the NASW Web site to support your claims. You are welcome to use additional resources.
