As Lee congratulates herself: "I do a lot for people around the world, but after reading the paper, it suddenly struck me, why am I not doing more for those in need here?" This kind of extreme socially conscious attitude is defined by Lee's desire to transform society so that it is more equitable to those who are in most need. As already explained, the nature of social work practice in a social democratic paradigm is to provide practical humanitarian care to the casualties of capitalism. or, in other words, it is crucial that responsible individuals and institutions make an effort to help those who have been ground under the wheel of an economic and political system that is built on the premise of inequality. We can see that Javed embraces this approach as he is more than willing to hold Lee up as a principled figurehead whose selfless actions to help others represent the most important way she could celebrate the engagement of her son. She explains, "I wanted to show [...] that you need to care about other people, even when you are celebrating yourselves."
Despite this, there are shortcomings to the construction of the article itself that leaves the careful and cautious reader wanting more. It is quite unclear what the importance of the Santa Claus Fund...
In some respects, the article is quite misleading. Based on the title, "A Special Gift for Engaged Couple," we might think to learn about how a new couple was helped by someone's generosity. Reading along, we might expect to find out about other troubled individuals and how the Santa Claus Fund has helped them. Instead, we learn about the laudable actions of Janet Lee, both in this instance and others. In the end, the article reads like a quick pat on the back for Lee whose socially responsible attitudes the author felt it was worth relating.
Javed's article about a socially conscious gift does highlight principles of the social democratic paradigm and how everyday people in ordinary situations can apply it. Obviously, Javed believes that this paradigm is the most useful in approaching the real -- if largely unmentioned -- problems that society faces as a whole. While readers are given some indication of how they can help, there is scant information in the article regarding the Santa Claus Fund or the social ills it was designed…
" According to Patton (1998) the overrepresentation of African-American children in special education programs that are intended for students that have serious emotional or behavioral disorders, learning disabilities, and mental disabilities has continued to be a problem even though many researchers have recognized the problems that have occurred as a result of such overrepresentation. In fact there is exhaustive amounts of literature that explains the "causal factors that range from failure
Pedagogic Model for Teaching of Technology to Special Education Students Almost thirty years ago, the American federal government passed an act mandating the availability of a free and appropriate public education for all handicapped children. In 1990, this act was updated and reformed as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, which itself was reformed in 1997. At each step, the goal was to make education more equitable and more accessible to
Relational Discourse in a Film of Your Choice Conceptual Framework Discussion Forms of relational development Primary factors draw predominantly from Knapp's version of relationships: utilizing "steps." Nevertheless, this text utilizes the concept of moving up/down-similar to a lift) (Khanna, 2010) Motion via the stages: • Motion usually systematic as well as sequential. Nevertheless, sequence has been interchangeable/fluid; a few stages might be neglected. • Motion might be onward-in the direction of higher intimacy if continuing
Jesus' Teachings, Prayer, & Christian Life "He (Jesus) Took the Bread. Giving Thanks Broke it. And gave it to his Disciples, saying, 'This is my Body, which is given to you.'" At Elevation time, during Catholic Mass, the priest establishes a mandate for Christian Living. Historically, at the Last Supper, Christ used bread and wine as a supreme metaphor for the rest of our lives. Jesus was in turmoil. He was
relationship with culture has been mixed in terms of benefit. The word "cult" is the root word of culture and by nature, it is exclusionary. Culture provides boundaries between groups of people to set them apart, for better or for worse. Just because something is different does not mean it is better or more appropriate in terms of culture. The culture that was impacted upon me was based in dogmatic
