Part 1: 4-5pages:
How has America addressed the issue of poverty, historically? How has America conceptualized the poor throughout time? What significant legislation has been put forth to address poverty in America? What significant community action and/or social response has been put forth to help families and individuals in need? How did current social conditions and social thought influence the creation of this legislation, community action or social response? What values have influenced this legislation, community action or social response? What role has discrimination played in the formation of this legislation, community action or social response? Who has been targeted through this legislation, community action or social response and how? Who has been left-out of this legislation, community action or social response and why? How has this legislation or community response affected people of color, women, the community and other marginalized groups? What movements, if any, have influenced this legislation, community action or social response? Conduct this analysis throughout time, touching on all of the main periods of time reviewed in class, until you reach the 90s.
Part 2: 2-4pages:
On August 22, 1996. The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) replaced AFDC with TANF and dramatically changed the way the federal government and states determine eligibility and provide aid for needy families.
Why has welfare reform been such a cornerstone of American social policy? How did PRWORA end welfare as we knew it? What did 90s welfare reform accomplish? What has TANF done for poverty in America? What is TANFs relationship to dependency? How have our current welfare laws contributed to the growing wealth gap? How have they ignored the problems that exist in our low-wage labor market? To what extent, despite its goal to end welfare, is PRWORA actually racist, misogynist and homophobic?
Part 3: 1-2 pages:
Having fully explored the concept of poverty in America, is it truly realistic to envision a society without any welfare support at all? What would a more egalitarian and just support system look like and what would it take to implement it? Use everything that you have read in class this semester to offer an informed opinion or offer scholarly viewpoints that we have read about in class if you don’t have an opinion.
