A. All these labels are making my head spin. Look, there are only two actual political philosophies; Left and Right. Moderate is not a political philosophy, it is the lack of one. On the one hand, you have the Left. They believe the Government owns everything and only allows us to have it. They believe the Government is best suited to control everything and distribute it most efficiently. They do not believe in self-reliance, or free speech or freedom of Religion or the Right to Bear Arms etc. They believe in an all powerful centralized government. On the other hand, you have the Right. They believe Government is necessary only for the limited role spelled out for it by the Constitution. They believe in individual rights. They… [cont.]

What is the difference between social science and social work?
Q. What is the difference between social science and social work? how long does it take to get a bachelors in social science and in social work? i think its the same, can i do the same with both degrees?
Asked by LostN919 - Wed Jun 24 16:26:08 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Doing social science is studying people, doing research,adding to our understanding of social phenomena. Social work involves helping people directly. Things like seeing that foster homes are stuitable, helping the poor get job training, or getting people various other kinds of help. (I'm not entirely clear on this, myself.) Uh, getting a Bachelor's degree takes about 4 years, whichever field one chooses. No, the two degrees aren't the same (though you'd probably take a few of the same classes, whichever you went for).

A. Social ballroom is the first step, but depending on what style you want end up competing in you want to get started in that style as soon as possible. Social ballroom is typically American styling, and while there are sections of competitions reserved for American Style Rhythm and Smooth, it is very common to compete International Style Latin and Standard.

A. Even if your grandma gave the family member who wants to put her into a home a medical power of attorney, she can revoke that if she is of sound mind. There is a concern about who will provide adequate care for your grandmother when she comes home from the hospital. Depending on her conditions, provisions can be made for home care. Contact your local senior services office to ask what sort of support they can offer. Does someone need to be with your grandmother all the time? If so, can the ones who want to help her stay at home take turns? Social service people in the hospital seem to want to push the elderly into nursing homes right away.

How can social programs be compared to plantation slavery?
Q. Amazingly, some people here compare our social programs to plantation slavery. On plantations, blacks were FORCED to work without pay, and yet the many people who have the nerve to compare our social programs to the plantations also accuse black Democrats of all being welfare recipients or slackers in the same breath.

If the middle-class, upper-class and wealthy are getting benefit from a social program, then is that benefit "deserved" and mysteriously considered a social program they "have rights to", that can't be taken away?

People tend to say social programs are not a good thing for them or the country. They point to the former Soviet Socialist Republic (Russia) and then comment "Look what happened there" . But the Soviet Union was not socialist. It was communist.

A. I think every job I have had in social services has required that I transport my clients. Before even being hired the agency will do a background check including your license and driving record. They require a slightly higher liability limit on your auto insurance. I've done this kind of work off and on over 20 years and have never had a bad incident even when I took a group of 7 people with schizophrenia to another state on "vacation". You and the clients' treatment providers discuss this sort of thing regarding the safety of transporting the individuals. If you feel uncomfortable, which most people do initially, you can go along with a more experienced worker to observe what happens and what kinds of limits to set.

A. There is really no exact definition that all categories would fall under. Generally social refers to the way ordinary people live their lives. Social includes, entertainment, clothing, fads, fashions, civil rights, trends, patterns, and demographics. Political refers to the decisions our elected officials make on any number of topics. Religion included. Generally discussing religion refers to social issues more than political issues however. Corrupt leaders would fall under political in most instances.
