social welfare policy
Compare and contrast the conservative, liberal and radical views on the cause(s) of poverty. How does each view propose to solve the problem? How do you see these ideologies reflected in your agency’s policies, physical environment, and services. Outline the social work profession’s and your own perspective. Are they the same or different – and how so? Use class readings and discussion to
support your arguments.
