Week 2 Discussion: Continue Your Discussion
For this discussion, share your thoughts about how the view of the poor changed between 1776 and 1860.
Here are some ideas to get you started:
- What was Matthew Carey’s view of the poor?
- What do you think would have happened if Carey’s view of the poor had prevailed?
- What was the role of the poorhouses?
- What would the NASW Code of Ethics (located in the Assignment ResourcesLinks to an external site. reading list) say about the views expressed during this period?
- 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.
Guidelines
- Your writing: Each post should show courtesy and be succinct, professional, well written, and organized, using proper writing mechanics, grammar, and punctuation.
