The article “Back At Square One’: As States Repurpose Welfare Funds, More Families Fall Through Safety Net” was written by Peter S. Goodman. The article is about the struggle that people have all over the United States. Many of these individuals struggle to provide food, a decent place to live, and other common standards of living to their families. Goodman writes of a few women but mainly focuses on a woman named Brianna Butler who is struggling. In the reading there are many struggles she faces such as getting funding and getting help. Her major dilemma is that in order to receive financial assistance she needs to attend a four-week class, but no one will watch her child so she cannot go to the classes, so she does not receive the money. According to the article There are thousands of people who experience daily strife and when the United States economy experienced trouble many businesses had to lay people off and this created an even
The Troubled Families Agenda (2012) came about in response to Social need as it is a central concern of the welfare system, introduced by the coalition government. There are various types of need; Baldock (2012) introduced four types of need, these being Felt, Normative, Expressed and Comparative. Firstly, Baldock defined felt needs as what an individual believes they ‘need’ this can often be unrealistic and subjective to what the individual may want instead of need. Secondly normative, this is how an expert or professional identifies a need compared to a set of standards. Moving on to Expressed need, Baldock believed that this was where a felt need became a demand, it does not necessarily imply that people need it but are becoming demanding.
For this book report on The Samaritans Dilemma by Deborah Stone will consist of two chapters I am going to talk about chapters 2,4. I will talk about what Stone was trying to say in the chapters and either if I will agree or disagree with what she has to say or if I can actually be in the middle of the argument and be for it as well as against it. I will as well be providing information from the book The American Welfare State by Brian Glenn to show why I favor a side in the dilemma Stone is talking about. Seven Bad Arguments Against Help In chapter two Stone tries to cover objections that people have against the welfare state. In the first argument she goes on and talks about that by helping people it makes them more dependent on other people

One would think that six of the most important external assets fall under the category of support. Without support from one’s family and friends, he/she would have to be living in a state of depression. Ellen can claim to have only two of the support assets, which are to be in a caring school environment and to receive support from three or more nonparent adults. In school, her teachers worry about her, and want to know if she is OK: “The first day back at school my teacher noticed a bruise he put on my arm… she asked me if I had somewhere to spend the night…the teacher says everything is OK and she will make the necessary arrangements”. Although Ellen found support from the school psychologist, she also found support from her best and only friend Starletta’s parents. Starletta’s parents told Ellen, “You come on back when you want to… If he’s there when you get home you come on back here if you want to…” Starletta’s parents are very understanding and they even take Ellen downtown whenever she needs to, buy clothing or food. Even though Ellen found sup...
Child support is used when a family is under the poverty line and have children that need to be supported to attend school, be fed, clothed and sheltered. Other types of welfare include ones that benefit the disabled, wether it be intellectually or physically.
Access to support services is another strategy suggested. This involves only providing obtainable services to welfare recipients. These support services may include health care, childcare and solutions to many other problems a recipient may need support with. Providing these types of support allows a much smoother development for not only the recipient, but also the employer into a new job site. Welfare to work programs focuses primarily on those hardest to use. Welfare to work will work with businesses by providing incentives and grants to implement programs that will prepare these recipients for the working world

The presenting problem by the family system is Precious being arranged to attend an alternative school called, “Each One Teach One” because she is pregnant for the second time that causes her to be expelled from public school. Mary believes that school is not going to help Precious and wants her to apply for welfare. Since Mary did not earn her high school diploma, she stated that Precious does not need one as well. Mary believes Precious is dumb and is to blame for everything. Precious wishes she were smart and sometimes even hope that she was dead. As a social worker, there are many presenting problems in this case. There is a hate relationship between the two. Mary has anger problems and Precious is not meeting the grade-level standard. In addition, she is currently not up-to-date with prenatal visits and has not cope with her traumas.

Vicky King is a high level manager at AMERCO and is a big proponent of flexible work schedules, which is why it is so interesting that she does not take advantage of these work-life balance programs offered to people like her with young children who want to be a bigger part of their children’s lives. Vicky’s husband Kevin is a dentist who works slightly less hours than she does and together they have two children an eight-year-old son Kevin Jr. and a four-year-old daughter Janey. Vicky works extremely long hours and her children as a whole don’t see their parents that much, and as a result may be suffering emotionally. The fact that Vicky is such a big proponent of having those working under her using all of the work-life balance programs offered by AMERCO make her choices to work long hours and hire a college student as a nanny seem almost hypocritical. However if you look at her decision from a sociologically imaginative perspective you can understand the choices she makes.
Although the welfare state system has worked immensely in providing and establishing a substantial life to people, yet it has some ambiguities at times and it does face challenges due to the different policies and territories it is based in.
Three roles I value that defines me would have to be a daughter, sister, and a student. I know all of these are really classy but they are what mostly defines me. I am defined as a daughter because I have two parents that love me and buy me stuff and they want the best future for me. While as my job as a daughter is to annoy them( the most important job, of course), to love them, to help them and to make them happy. Therefore, let me tell you I think I excel at being a daughter.
However, there are instances when a woman must help her husband to support their families growing needs. Nowadays, it is not enough that a man carries the entire financial burden since one cannot support the needs alone with the bad economy giving almost everyone financial burden. The goods and commodities cost a lot plus the growing needs of the children should also be met aside from the basic needs that should be provided.
