This book examines ten key issues-poverty, housing, taxation and
the economy, child welfare, education, health, criminal justice,
civil rights, and global issues-confronting social work
professionals and places them in their larger context. The
introduction to each issue identifies its genesis or the reasons
that the issue became a dominant theme in the policymaking agendas
of Congress. The second and third sections of each issue provide
actual arguments written and spoken by elected officials, both in
the U.S. Congress and the Presidency, representing liberal versus
conservative viewpoints on the issues. By providing the actual text
of the arguments and refraining from interpreting and biasing the
political viewpoints of the legislators, the book enables students
to critically evaluate each side of the debate and to become
empowered to bring about change. The vantage point of Dynamics of
Social Welfare Policy is that both liberal and conservative
policymakers have good reasons for holding their respective
beliefs. Students thus are provided with the opportunity to learn
about the other side. This knowledge will improve students'
confidence when approaching policymakers and enhance their ability
to be effective advocates. Understanding both sides of issues
central to social work professionals will facilitate the
development of arguments and policy options that satisfy decision
makers of either political orientation.
