Social Welfare
Social welfare in the United States has evolved greatly in the past several hundred years. Social welfare began as a voluntary measure and evolved into a government controlled program with many different Characteristics taking place over time bringing us to the program we have today. Many players were involved though out history with different groups and people. I will use the three factors: 1.where social welfare began. 2. Why Social welfare began and 3.some of the major players in implementing the social welfare program First history of social welfare as we know it began before the rule of King Edward the third in England , then became the Elizabethan Poor Law , these started before our government started to create laws regarding helping the poor in the United states. The history of welfare to the poor started long before the government programs for the poor were made to help them. People just relied on each as a genuine concern. After the bubonic plague King Edward stopped free charity and took control. As we became more industrialized change was needed for the poor and the Elizabethan Poor Law of 1601 was created. This was a control of who and how services were given. Then the poor law act of 1834. This act was concerned with getting people to areas where work could be found (Care, V. 2011). Because of the 1834 Act churches handling funding to the poor was replaced by a board overseeing the funds and how they were used. This was the beginning of government getting involved with a welfare system in England. We adopted the same in the United States. This helped in creating a new way of accounting for funds and records were kept and audited to prove accuracy of how they were used. Each church was still responsible for caring for their own poor they just could not oversee their own funds. This was the beginning of the debit credit accounting system. . (Care, V. 2011).
