Personal Values, Ethical Codes And Legal Issues In Human Services
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. The fundamental nature of Human Services reflects a combination of competency, values, ethics and a core understanding of how the impact of one's words has the ability to completely alter another person's life; with so much power and persuasion, it stands to reason why professionals in this industry have to answer to a higher attribution of values and ethics. Not only must one's personal values stand independent from those that define Human Services, but they must also cohere with those same industry values as a means by which to create a synergistic approach to moral and principled application. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Poverty: Problems and Solutions
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page paper delineating a complexity of problems associated with poverty. Suggests that these problems require a flexible approach to their solution. This approach must include traditional programs designed to meet the most basic of human needs but it must also include measures to address the more ancillary problems of poverty. These ancillary problems require such measures as the enforcement of labor laws, the provision of child care for single mothers and impoverished families, and a variety of other approaches. Most importantly, however, the solution to poverty is an reintegration of community and family, a break down of the barriers associated with economics, race and age. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Single Mother's & The History Of Welfare -- Pitied But Not Entitled
[ send me this paper ]
A 15 page review of Linda Gordon's book in which the writer analyzes how reformers view poor single mothers and welfare. Three of its chapters are about the views of the white women's social welfare network, the black women's social welfare network (excluded from the white women's groups mostly by raw segregation), and the white male social insurance reformer network. Gordon argues that contemporary welfare programs for single mothers were shaped by the ideas and the decisions that went into state aid programs created between 1910 and 1920, programs that were variously called mothers' pensions, widows' pensions and mothers' aid. Various sociopolitical points and arguments presented by Gordon are analytically presented. No other sources cited.
