...Social Welfare: Pros and Cons Melissa Pugh Post University Online Social Welfare: Pros and Cons The ever-winding tendrils of hardship are impacting individuals who through the ups and downs of life; have become disabled, unemployed, or perhaps senior citizens. Social welfare is available for those who may find themselves in these unfortunate positions. While working at a Milwaukee University, Julia Doyle’s mother was killed by a senseless drunk-driving accident in 1990. Driven by determination, Doyle saw to it that justice was served however this required many requests for leave and because of this; she was terminated although she had invested ten years at the university. Julia Doyle went on to have a total of three children with little or no support from the father; deprived of many necessities, she became a recipient of welfare. She also admits to drug usage during her fall from grace. Nevertheless, for many, social welfare provokes dependency and others like Julia Doyle (Pomeroy, 2008) utilized its benefits to gain a life of financial stability. According to Flynn (2013), “Welfare is a term used to describe systems by which government agencies provide economic assistance, goods, and services to persons who are unable to care for themselves.

...Nations are maintaining a variety of welfare programs to rule out the effects of poverty today. In the United States, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program is designed to end hunger and improve the health of many low-income families. In addition, this program fights malnutrition and ensures the family to maintain a healthy diet. However, this program is beneficial for some families, yet it has its flaws. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program should consider altering its program requirements and monitor the people who apply for it. Although the benefits of SNAP are admirable, I believe the laws behind the program must be altered. Families accepted for the assistance are not drug tested, but I believe they should be. As an employee at a Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market, I experience many men and women coming in and purchasing their food while they are under the influence of marijuana. Standing at the end of my register, I watch families come in, fill their buggies up with name brand food, and utilize their Nutritional Assistance benefits. Although SNAP was designed for the low-income families to maintain a healthy diet, junk food is the only thing that their benefits are used for. The SNAP should emphasize the rule of healthy eating (Are)....
