For this discussion, discuss the expansion of the social welfare system from 1945 to 1974.
Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Should America have become a welfare state?
- What is the institutional conception of social welfare?
- How does the residual view of social welfare impact social welfare policies?
- Reflect on what, if any, evidence there was of considerations that would today be related to diversity, equity, and inclusion and how that might be impacting current social work policies and practices.
