Download or read book Welfare Deservingness and the Logic of Poverty written by Joe Whelan and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2021-03-17 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who deserves to get what and what should they have to do in order to get it? These are questions that societies have grappled with since antiquity, and they continue to echo today. This book explores questions of social deservingness by tracking how it has been treated across the centuries, from ancient Greece to the present day, taking in many notable thinkers along the way. In doing so, it focuses, in particular, on what different thinkers have had to say on and about poor relief and social welfare. Modern welfare systems are also examined to show how particular logics of poverty, while they may be ancient in origin, continue to inform our notions of who deserves to get what today. This book will be of interest to those studying or working in the areas of social welfare, social policy and sociology.
Download or read book Pimping the Welfare System written by Kerry C. Woodward and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on ethnographic research in Contra Costa County, California (CCC), Pimping the Welfare System highlights a welfare program implemented after welfare reform that differed in significant ways from the predominant work first approach implemented by most welfare programs. The book argues that by imparting dominant economic, social, and cultural capital, CCC’s welfare program empowered participants and improved their quality of life and life chances. Successfully transmitting these types of capital, however, was dependent upon the discourses, practices, and pedagogy deployed by welfare workers—as well as the policies, practices, and resources of the welfare program. In particular, CCC’s welfare workers encouraged the acquisition and use of dominant capital (that which is desired by the labor market) by acknowledging and respecting the various types of capital welfare participants already had, and by encouraging participants to make strategic choices about deploying different types of capital. This book calls into question monolithic understandings of economic, social, and cultural capital and encourages a new conceptualization of capital that resists framing poor women as fundamentally “lacking.” In addition, it points to ways welfare administrators and welfare workers can develop more empowering programs even within the confines of federal, state, and local regulations.

Download or read book Kidnapped Souls written by Tara Zahra and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2011-05-02 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the nineteenth and into the early decades of the twentieth century, it was common for rural and working-class parents in the Czech-German borderlands to ensure that their children were bilingual by sending them to live with families who spoke the "other" language. As nationalism became a more potent force in Central Europe, however, such practices troubled pro-German and pro-Czech activists, who feared that the children born to their nation could literally be "lost" or "kidnapped" from the national community through such experiences and, more generally, by parents who were either flexible about national belonging or altogether indifferent to it. Highlighting this indifference to nationalism—and concerns about such apathy among nationalists—Kidnapped Souls offers a surprising new perspective on Central European politics and society in the first half of the twentieth century. Drawing on Austrian, Czech, and German archives, Tara Zahra shows how nationalists in the Bohemian Lands worked to forge political cultures in which children belonged more rightfully to the national collective than to their parents. Through their educational and social activism to fix the boundaries of nation and family, Zahra finds, Czech and German nationalists reveal the set of beliefs they shared about children, family, democracy, minority rights, and the relationship between the individual and the collective. Zahra shows that by 1939 a vigorous tradition of Czech-German nationalist competition over children had created cultures that would shape the policies of the Nazi occupation and the Czech response to it. The book's concluding chapter weighs the prehistory and consequences of the postwar expulsion of German families from the Bohemian Lands. Kidnapped Souls is a significant contribution to our understanding of the genealogy of modern nationalism in Central Europe and a groundbreaking exploration of the ways in which children have been the objects of political contestation when national communities have sought to shape, or to reshape, their futures.
Download or read book Political Thinking Political Theory and Civil Society written by Steven M DeLue and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-09-04 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive overview of the Western tradition of political thought that approaches concepts with the aim of helping readers develop their own political thinking and critical thinking skills. This text is uniquely organized around the theme of civil society — what is the nature of a civil society? why is it important? — that will engage students and help make the material relevant. Major thinkers discussed in the text are explored not only with the goal of understanding their views, but also with an interest in understanding the relationship of their ideas to the notion of a civil society. DeLue contends that a civil society is important for securing the way of life that most of us value and want to preserve, a way of life that allows people to live freely and place significance on their own lives.

Download or read book Maimonides Political Thought written by Howard Kreisel and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a series of studies that cover a wide range of issues relating to Maimonides' political thought, including the basis for political and ethical knowledge; the notion of the "good"; imitatio Dei; apparent contradictions in his position on ethics; the conception of God that he attempts to inculcate to Jewish society at large; and his novel approach to the love and fear of God. Taking into account his medieval Aristotelian and Jewish sources, these explorations also deal with some of the opposing considerations that Maimonides had to balance in developing and presenting his positions on such subjects as the nature of divine law, the static vs. dynamic dimensions of Mosaic law, prophetic and rabbinic authority within Judaism, the reasons for the commandments, and martyrdom. A close reading of the manner in which he formulates his views, in light of their literary and intellectual-historical contexts, allows us a better glimpse of how profound and subtle Maimonides is as a thinker and an educator.
Download or read book SALUTE the Souls written by Dr. Kumar R. Bhushan and published by Chembila publications. This book was released on 2024-08-12 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Salute the Souls is a gripping exploration of human emotions, artistically weaving together various themes that resonate deeply with anyone who has ever loved. At its core, it is a heart-melting saga that delves into the rock-solid devotion to one's country, set against the intricate backdrop of love's ebbs and flows in the tumultuous sea of life. The story transverses through savage communal conflicts, leading to brutal massacres. This is not a usual account of a hero and heroine. All the key characters exemplify stirring acts of valor. At the heart of the story rests the untiring desire of the protagonists to join the ranks of the Indian Army. It is the zest that kindles brick-walled dedication and heart-rending sacrifices. As the plot unfolds, the pursuit of revenge transcends the ordinary call of duty. It introduces an element of intense drama, elevating the stakes and keeping readers on the edge of their seats. Throughout the narrative, courageousness takes center stage, as the characters go to great lengths to honor and uplift their nation. Salute the Souls creatively paints a rich landscape of emotions and serves as a tribute to the immortal sacrifices of the soldiers. It underlines a powerful message that communal riots and terrorism are the archrivals of humanity. The chronicle punctuates the idea that unity and collective effort have the potential to lead humanity toward a brighter and more harmonious future.
