,Chapter 01: Social Welfare: Its Business, History, and Future
1. Each of the following is considered the business of social welfare except:
a. telling people how to live their lives.
b. ending all types of discrimination and oppression.
c. providing child-care services for parents who work outside the home.
d. providing support to people who are abusing alcohol or drugs.
ANSWER: a
RATIONALE: Social welfare seeks to enhance the social functioning of all age
and financial groups. When other institutions in our society, such as
the market economy and the family, fail at times to meet the basic
needs of individuals or groups of people, then social services are
needed and demanded. However, to tell people how to live their
lives is not the business of social welfare. Social work believes in
self-determination, which means people should be allowed to make
their own decisions.

filling or first-aid role. This view asserts that funds and services
should be provided on a short-term basis, primarily during

should seek to minimize its role in the provision of social welfare programs.

work outside the home.
ANSWER: d
RATIONALE: Linda Gordon notes that the stigmatization of the Aid to Families
with Dependent Children (AFDC) program first began on a large
scale in the 1950s and 1960s. One of the main reasons was that
the role of women began to be redefined during that time. More
women were entering the workforce, and it began to be expected
that women would work outside the home. As a consequence,
single mothers on AFDC began to be shamed for being on the
welfare rolls.

a. financial security, including public assistance, is a matter of charity.
b. every individual has a right to a minimum standard of living in a civilized society.
c. liberty and security are mutually exclusive in a democratic society.
ANSWER: b
RATIONALE: President Franklin D. Roosevelt believed that financial security,
including public assistance, should not be a matter of charity but a
matter of justice. He asserted that every individual has a right to a
minimum standard of living in a civilized society. He believed that
liberty and security are synonymous; without financial security,
people will eventually despair and revolt. Therefore, Roosevelt held
the conviction that the very existence of a democratic society
depended on the health and welfare of its citizens.

should seek to minimize its role in the provision of social welfare programs.
d. The role of women began to be redefined, and it began to be expected that women would
work outside the home.
ANSWER: d
RATIONALE: Linda Gordon notes that the stigmatization of the Aid to Families
with Dependent Children (AFDC) program first began on a large
scale in the 1950s and 1960s. One of the main reasons was that
the role of women began to be redefined during that time. More
women were entering the workforce, and it began to be expected
that women would work outside the home. As a consequence,
single mothers on AFDC began to be shamed for being on the
welfare rolls.

a. financial security, including public assistance, is a matter of charity.
b. every individual has a right to a minimum standard of living in a civilized society.
c. liberty and security are mutually exclusive in a democratic society.
ANSWER: b
RATIONALE: President Franklin D. Roosevelt believed that financial security,
including public assistance, should not be a matter of charity but a
matter of justice. He asserted that every individual has a right to a
minimum standard of living in a civilized society. He believed that

people will eventually despair and revolt. Therefore, Roosevelt held
the conviction that the very existence of a democratic society
depended on the health and welfare of its citizens.
