    1. Social welfare policy aims to provide social services and assistance to vulnerable citizens. It includes a broad range of services like housing, food, and medical assistance. 2. The first ballot proposal would invest in renewable energy, creating jobs and reducing reliance on social welfare over time as utilities become more affordable. The second would allow in-home health care workers to collectively bargain and receive training, helping more people stay in their homes with safe care. 3. During the Dark and Middle Ages, the poor were punished and it was a crime to be poor. They were imprisoned and forced into labor. Currently, broader social services are provided, but some laws still isolate and criminalize poverty.

    Take Home Mid-Term

    Take Home Mid Term


    SW 3710

    1. Public policy is a series of objectives or policies set forth by a state or government on


    which its laws have been or will be created. Social welfare policy is a set of policies used
    by a governing body that serves two major porpoises: social treatment, and social control.
    Generally aimed toward its most vulnerable citizens. Social services and social welfare
    are perceived as agencies and practices that reflect a societies desire to impose its values
    and norms on those they consider to have less worth in said society. In actuality these
    consist of many different services that cover and broad spectrum of services. These
    services can range housing and food assistance.
    2. The first of the two statewide ballot proposals is 12-3. It appears it would have a
    beneficial impact in the long term as well as short term. That is to say investing in
    renewable sources of energy is an emerging field and will require a new workforce. As
    well as providing jobs it will help curb the effect of global warming. The effect it will
    have in the social welfare system would be such that utilities will eventually become
    more affordable therefore there would be less reliance on these types of services. The cost
    to current consumers is still an issue of debate, but according to the proposal only 1
    percent will be passed on to the consumer and this will be spread out over the next 12
    years The second proposal I chose was proposal 2012-4 requiring in home care workers
    weather in an agency or not, the benefits to collectively bargain. In addition there would
    be training of home health care workers. The benefits of this would be the right of an
    individual to remain in their own home and receive safe and reliable health care. In
    addition a mandatory background check for all providers should help provide safe quality
    care. In addition it would benefit the social welfare system by providing clearer
    guidelines as to what benefits the state is responsible for. The over all benefit would be
    more citizens remaining in their own homes and possibly less elder abuse.

    3. Methods used to help those in need during the Dark & Middle Ages were a series of
    punishments. It became a crime to be poor. Services provided to these consisted of
    imprisionment and forced labor. More often than not these were women and children.
    The poor and vulnerable were looked upon as less than deserving. Currently the poor is
    no longer openly punished. But society has managed to isolate the poor and treat them as
    less than deserving. Current society has broader range of services that are provided; these
    include housing and medical assistance, and entitlement programs for senior citizens. Yet
    in some was it still mirrors the Old Poor Laws with an overseer (modern day social
    worker) to decide and dispense collected tax funds as they saw fit. In addition many city
    have created their own laws which make it illegal to be homeless or to pander thus once
    again making it a crime to be poor and in need.
