...PERSUASIVE PAPER PART 1: A PROBLEM EXIST 2 Child welfare regulations need some improvements done. Child welfare has become a major topic with everybody. Child welfare will help families who is in poverty, families who are unemployed. When it comes down to a family who has a family member who is sick and the other one has to work they will not help them all that much. The other problem with child welfare is that when both parents have to work there is no extra help to cover the cost of daycare or another person to babysit for the child. Many states will not give out extra money for care of the child when both parents have to work. It is hard to raise a family on medium wage. That is why the government needs to regulate the laws on child welfare. A family who gets minimum wage pay they don’t have enough money to feed their children. That is why the regulation needs to be changed to help out the families who need food, medical treatment and other ways to meet their needs. When it comes down for a family to apply for help they get denied because the agent tells them that they are able to work and nothing is wrong with them. Which I think is wrong. Social Security as used with reference to the Social Security Act in the United States also encompasses some of what we call “welfare” or “needs” or “assistance” programs (Altmeyer, Arthur). When a family goes to get Social Security for their family because they need help they don’t get it because they are not...

...client to become self-sufficient, by empowering, modeling and, caring. Furthermore, the professional should also have the objective of teamwork at all times in order to achieve the proper goal. The work of the Human Service professional can be very difficult to achieve a goal without a committed client successfully. In this paper we will analyze and describe the goal, history, common intervention in the Human Services along with some important ethical considerations. The history of human services on the United States was in the beginning influenced by England’s social welfare during the eleventh century. By the time poor citizens were victims of slavery and discrimination from part of the wealthy class. The poor were forced to work the rich lands in order to survive, by receiving care and support in exchange from their hard work. (Martin, M. (2007) During that time, the poor were considered a necessary component of society in order for the rich to show their grace toward the less fortunate. In fact, these believe or “charity” practice was completely supported by the church, that based the validity of the practice in the book of Mathew chapter 25 in were Jesus warn everyone to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, shelter to the homeless, clothes to the shivering, tend to the sick, and visit those in prison”. The perception of poverty gradually changed with the...

...Welfare Regulation/Reform/Solutions Tonya McKenzie Strayer University Professor Wooden ENG215 NOV 22, 2013 Welfare Regulation/Reform “Beginning in the 1930s, the U.S. welfare system started out as a program to help families and individuals who had little or no income. Fearing that Americans were abusing the welfare system by not looking for jobs and having more children, to increase aid, in 1996, President Clinton signed a reform law giving control of welfare. Each state sets guidelines for determining eligibility for welfare benefits. For example, in Virginia, welfare recipients between the ages of five and 18 must attend school regularly. Georgia requires students ages six through 17 to attend school regularly. Common factors that determine benefits include gross income, family size, medical needs, unemployment, homelessness and pregnancy. Each individual or family that receives welfare has a caseworker. Each caseworker determines the benefits the family or individual receives (ehow.com (p1).” With a growing unemployment rate in America. American citizens are focused on survival by any means necessary. Even at the added cost to American tax payers fraud continues to rise across the country. Welfare regulations must constantly evolve to uncover different ways to discourage attempts of fraud on our welfare programs. These action of fraud are contributing to the financial rape and pelage of American assets that are there to help the needy. While the rush to address...

...Running Heading: Welfare Fraud Welfare System In America and Its Effects on Society February 22, 2013 Why does poverty exist and why do people end up being poor? Welfare in the United States is referred to the federal government welfare programs that have been put in place to assist the unemployed or underemployed. These social policies and public reform have been consistently at the forefront of American minds. Welfare reform has been a major controversy in the realm of social policy. This is very much debated by Americans as legislators are looking more closely at this topic. Many people agree with it and others don’t. How many really understand the purpose or the intentions of the welfare system? Welfare agencies across America have a goal to strengthen and support individuals and families by promoting cost effective and comprehensive services that foster independent and healthy families. INTRODUCTION Welfare was first introduced in 1935. When the Great Depression hit, many families suffered. It is estimated that one-fourth of the labor force was unemployed during the the Great Depression era. With many families suffering financial difficulties, the government stepped in to solve the problem and that is where the history of welfare as we know it really began. Under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Social Security Act was enacted in 1935. Welfare in America has become a debatable subject since its formation. What is welfare? Welfare is when an individual receives government...

...President Bill Clinton fulfilled his 1992 campaign to “end welfare as we know it.” (Endangered Welfare Reform, 2012) In today’s society, there are many programs available for people in need. An abundance of people who are participating in these programs view these as necessities verses privileges and continue to abuse them. Welfare fraud is an ongoing abuse, and new government regulations need to be put into effect to help alleviate the current and persistent welfare dilemma. Congress has implemented welfare reform legislations that simply have not helped or changed much. The question regarding the welfare system continues to remain the same; what is wrong with welfare and can it be fixed? A question that is not simple, nor does the question have a simple answer. However, one thing is very clear; welfare is not working and needs to change, desperately. The current welfare system is unfair to the taxpayers who are paying for the failed programs that the government, specifically the New York State legislators, have timelessly sat by and done little to nothing, as well as the poor who remain trapped in a system that takes away self-reliance and hope for the children of the recipients. Although current liberal systems want everyone to believe that aid is temporary and very few recipients receive welfare for an extended period of time, this is simply untrue. The public is lead to believe that the current welfare system does not promote long-term independence, this is so very...

Introduction Gender inequality is a problem among the workplace globally, female employees tend to be paid fifteen to fifty percent less than male employees when they are working the same job. (Burnett,2010) In terms of the situation in China, although the Constitution in 1982 has reinforced laws and regulations to protect women's rights, the level of unemployment rate of women is still far higher than male employees (ibid). The development of Human Resource Management implicates a potential progress for gender equality(Sisson,1994). However, the gender equality assumption in HRM model is more like the rhetoric rather than the reality (Dikens,1998). Besides, HRM has received little attention in...

...After reading the section on gun control my view on the subject slightly changed. I went from not knowing much about control, thus not really being concerned if it existed or not. But now that I know a few facts, I can I agree partially with both sides of the issue. I think that people should have the right to carry concealed guns but that there should also be a few more regulations. These rules and regulations should include instituting one-gun-purchase- per-month laws, and also requiring registration of all handguns. Another point in this section that grabbed my attention was President Clinton’s assault-weapons ban. I feel that this law should still be in place, because it allows people to carry guns but of a less lethal nature. This is my opinion creates a happy medium. I disagree with investing money in head start programs. Although they are beneficial in preparing children for elementary school and teaching children to interact with others. I do not believe investing money and engaging children in head start programs will prevent them from committing crimes and displaying deviant behavior later in life. Thus the money invested to supposedly lower crime rates could be invested in other programs such as job corps. I believe programs such as job corps are quite a bit more beneficial to at risk youth. This is because Job Corps is not only a program that youth are involved in when they are a bit older but it also provides job training. In my opinion individuals who are employed...

Summary Welfare and its Barriers Thesis Statement: Although current welfare reform is pushing education over employment there is a strong belief amongst those working in the field of welfare administering that seeking employment first before seeking higher education is the pathway to self-sufficiency for most welfare recipients. Introduction: It is recognized by public service workers that employment is beneficial in building self-esteem for welfare recipients. The belief that all welfare recipients are lazy and just want to draw a check from the government is an untruth. I will share a story with you later in this paper that will provide a basis to disprove that belief, at least for one recipient. While many studies show that the history of welfare reform has pushed our impoverished population to choose between employment and/or and education. For many...

...Keynesian Economics, Helping the US Economy Keynesian philosophy states that in order to manage economic downturns, government intervention in the economy is imperative. It was Keynesian Economic Philosophy that kept America out of another depression during the Great Recession due to the fiscal and monetary stimulus (Seidman 32-53, 22p). By examining the government’s need for spending money on welfare, cutting taxes, regulating and monitoring the financial markets, and government spending on military, America sees how a Keynesian approach is a necessity. The American Government needs to continue using the Keynesian model in order to enhance the performance of the economy. Keynesian Philosophy provides government assisted programs to those who qualify. One form of assistance is Welfare. Welfare provides benefits and economic assistance to low or no income Americans. With the dismal economy, there are now over 100 million people on welfare according to the Census Bureau; and this doesn’t include those receiving Social Security or Medicare (GOPUSAStaff). Food Stamps are one of many divisions of welfare. The food stamps program, also known as the Supplementary Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), helps low or no income citizens buy food. There are over 46 million people on SNAP as of June, 2012 (Luhby). That is more than one in seven Americans and more than 25% of eligible Americans do not participate in the food stamps program. There are millions of low-income seniors struggling to afford...

...on less intervention by the government. It means that if any industry and company found itself in financial difficulties then government will not help them. For example if royal mail found itself in financial difficulties then government won’t help them. But Cameron has changed this policy. He said that it is the role of government to help industries if they find. He believes that state has a key role in increasing opportunities and reducing poverty because if any industry finds itself in difficulties then it also affects unemployment. He believes that state has a key role in increasing opportunities and reducing poverty. Conservative traditionally believes on low taxes. They believe that taxes on income and company profits should be kept to minimum. So it is a natural conservative instinct to want to cut taxes. But the David Cameron and his shadow chancellor asserted that the tax cuts cannot be made at the expense of the public services. In other words they see it as most important that health, education, social services and so on should be protected even if public opinion asserts that tax should be reduced. In education it is conservative...

...traditional, original policies. One way in which the modern Conservative party has abandoned its traditional policies is the role the state takes in the country. Traditionally the role of the state was limited, with little economic or social intervention, linking directly with the Conservative idea of change should be avoided, however the modern Conservative party has taken the view that the state places a key part in increasing opportunities and reducing poverty, with less regulation at a local level. This directly abandons the traditional policies as this policy aims for the state to help socially - through reducing poverty and economically - through acting more quickly on things. This can be seen as a good thing however, as people prefer to see the government taking a more involved effort, which is not what the traditional policies of the Conservative party believed the role of state should be. Another way in which the modern Conservative Party has abandoned its traditional policies is through the evolving way in which the party views social justice. The traditional ideas of the Conservative party believed that inequality was natural in a free-market and welfare should only be for the extremely needy. Under the modern day Conservative party it is believed that society has a...

...Chapter One Law, Value Creation, and Risk Management A Manager’s Dilemma: Putting It into Practice Guanxi: Networking or Bribery? Issue Presented: Should a business leader in China encourage a manager to run for office? Engage in guanxi lobbying to encourage district leaders to impose stiffer emissions and mileage requirements for heavy trucks? Hire the son of a prominent local official? Whenever engaging in international business development, managers are expected to exercise their responsibilities according to the laws and practices of the countries where they conduct business. However, a manager should also consider the ethical standards in the home country, where the firm is headquartered and where the board of directors will review his or her performance, as well as what the shareholders would consider ethically acceptable. In China, companies have a long history of engaging in political activities. Chinese executives are frequently elected to local or national government to engage in guanxi lobbying, where they are permitted to make charitable contributions and report issues relevant to their corporation to the government. The Election Act of China permits the local manager of Dexter’s affiliate to seek election as a congressperson while remaining on Dexter’s payroll. In light of this legislation, the manager could run for office and, if elected, lobby to persuade district leaders to impose stiffer emissions and mileage requirements for heavy...

...was lifted as there was nobody to look after children in families. This then created a need for child minders and childcare services. The preschool education was mainly in the private sector for children with the need of specific intervention and with special needs. The ECEC needs for babies, young children and their families were all met by the community, private enterprises and voluntary. (Flood, E. and Hardy,2013) According to early childhood Ireland, 2015 in 1992 Ireland ratified the UN convention on the rights of the child. The convention stated that a 'child' as a person is below the age of 18, unless a particular countries law set the legal age below the age of 18 for the age of adulthood. The convention states that all children should be entitled to basic rights, no discrimination. The child's interests is the center of everything, primary concern of making decisions. It also rules out the basic human needs which all children are entitled to such as, protection needs which means the child has the right to be protected against any harm, abuse or neglecting. Participation needs are also...

...Should Government have the largest influence on Corporate Social Responsibility ? Introduction Carroll’s four responsibilities of business are economic, legal, ethical, and discretionary (Carroll, 1991). Economic responsibility is a business organization to produce goods or service to society, and creditors or shareholders can get return. Legal responsibility is defined in law by government that management is expected to follow. Ethical responsibility is organization management to obey the beliefs in a society. The last discretionary responsibility is the management of their own accord to take obligations, they do it by themselves, and not others force them to do (Carroll, 1991). Definition of Corporate Social Responsibility Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is defined as a business’s decisions or actions are made which take outcomes beyond the organization's economic profit into account in the decision making process (Carroll, 1991). Social responsibilities include ethical responsibilities and discretionary responsibilities. The difference between them was that less people expect a firm to perform discretionary responsibilities, while a lot of people expect a firm to perform ethical responsibilities. Discretionary responsibilities are like day-care centers, to training the hard-core unemployed and philanthropic contributions. A firm can take actions to perform its ethical responsibilities and discretionary responsibilities that society will value it but...

The article tries to answer this question. The social enterprises seem blur the boundary between for-profit and not-for-profit in the objects, while they don’t break though the distinction between for-profit organization and not-for-profit organization, and the rules applied respectively. However the social enterprises can enjoy some special treatment, not base on the form of organization, but on the social benefit of their mission. We should deal with social enterprises and pure business enterprises differently, and shouldn’t ask the later to offer what they needn’t. Key words: Social Enterprises; Corporate Social Responsibility; Community Interest Company; the Triple Bottom Line PartⅠ.
