The Benefits Of Third Wave Socialists

The new labour has introduced laws which benefit the family, one of the laws being allowing adoption amongst cohabiting couples and gay couples. In effect this will mean other family types will be able to have children this will lead to a decline in nuclear families because couples will not have to marry to have to adopt children. For example a cohabiting couple are unable to pay the expenses of a wedding and they cannot have babies due to fertility issues therefore the new law will help them adopt a child without marriage. In addition to laws introduced by the new labour, they have also increased welfare by re-distributing income to increase welfare to help lower income families afford food and clothing. For example a mother with three children cannot finically support herself with one job and benefits, but due to the increase in welfare benefits, she is now able to support herself. Although other sociologist would disagree with these introductions of social policies,

The main sources for this reflection paper have been; classroom lectures and skit, The Code of Ethics (National Association of Social Workers, 2008), and the section of the Encyclopedia of Social Work on Social Policy History. The classroom experience that stood out for me was the privilege of being included in an audience participation skit presented by Professors Vernon and Glassburn Larimer It was based an actual town meeting in the Elizabethan period and included in it was how they dealt with their unworthy poor (2011). In addition to these educational experiences, I have my own personal experience of living off of the government for over two years along with my two children. Hindsight now leads me to label myself unworthy poor since I was able bodied, yet unwilling to work.

Socialism an ideology which favors the working class above everything; and as Karl Marx said, proletariat would take over the world. This statement is true to many countries as percentage wise the working class outnumbers any other by a landslide. So it must come by no surprise that when a quarter of the working class is not working and more than half are hungry and sitting under the poverty line they

The Socialist Party and Libertarian Party are third parties in a two party system. These two third parties have special political interests; a little broader than some third parties but more radical than those of the traditional Democrat & Republican parties. At first glance their vison statements on their websites seem to advocate the same basic rights of United States citizens1. Only in looking more closely at their platforms, do you see how they diverge dramatically to which civil liberties they give precedence and how such rights are protected by them.

Most recent social policies in the UK come from a New Labour point of view, as this party has been in power for almost 12 years. Therefore, many of these modern social policies encourage the existence of the

It is reasonable to say that the Left is defined in desire for an economy to be run and manipulated by solely the state. It is believed that it is the State’s responsibility to ensure welfare for people through planning and implementing, a trade-unionist and communist would be considered Left ideology where all are equal. Left is understood to also believe in social equality and support for those in

The United States is run primarily on the basis of capitalism, which means that trade is privately owned, and not publicly. This shows that America, at its core, is not meant to be one nation-wide charity or some massive equalizer for its citizens, it is supposed to be a place where one has the opportunity to thrive, not the entitlement to. The American dream that we have all heard about is not that you can live your life however you want to and have the end result of a big house with a white picket fence and money in the bank. Much like a running race, this dream is about how everybody starts at the same place, but not everybody finishes at the same point; at least theoretically.

In short, the principles of the welfare state set out a system of cradle-to-grave social security for the poor in society. An important aspect of this was the central role the state played in the provision of social and allied services in the UK. In view of this, several pieces of legislation were passed and implemented which institutionalise the key principles of the welfare state, and thus starting the process of creating the welfare

The article “Statement of Principles of the Socialist Party”, describes the Socialist Party’s Principles, and their goals for the future of America. The Socialist party wants to create a new order, specifically a “radical democracy that places people's lives under their own control -- a non-racist, classless, feminist, socialist society in which people cooperate at work, at home, and in the community”. In summary, the Socialist Party wants to create an America in which everyone has a job, everyone is equal, and every person lives in harmony with nature (via preventing pollution, preserving wildlife, etc. ).

This president, who wants to inflict socialism onto the American People, has led the country into unknown territory as far as the American people are concerned. The American people have rejected socialism at ever turn. The polls continue to show this country is headed in the wrong direction by overwhelming margins. In addition, the American people have continued to reject this president’s policies at every turn. In the next election, we the voters can show force by rejecting the politicians who want to continue down this slippery slope. This country is the greatest country in the world regardless of those who continue to hate this country and its founding. They can be found in our schools where they are determined to teach the kids about

The ending of today’s class ended with a slide asking which form of society we would choose if given the choice; my ideal world would be a socialist world. Democratic socialism seeks to work with the government rather than take over the government, focus on workers rights and strong unions, demands a fair living wage, and regulate industry. This is my choice because, if done properly and according to its ideals, it would create a world that is more equal than is offered by the capitalist form. Under socialism, different social classes would give incentive to work harder and innovate, rewarding those that work harder but still make it more level than it is currently in our capitalist country. Socialism also seems like a better

This essay will consider whether the welfare state has eliminated poverty. It will examine what poverty is and how the definition varies from societies. The essay will look at the aims of the welfare state from conception and how it has changed to present times. The welfare state being analysed is the welfare state in the United Kingdom. It will discuss the nature of the social democratic welfare state and liberal criticisms of the problems this type of state brings. The recent changes to the welfare state will be reviewed and what the consequences of the changes may be. It will then look at recent statistics to determine whether the welfare state has eradicated poverty.

Transitioning from socialism to capitalism is associated with several challenges. Firstly, every country, whether a socialist or capitalist state has varying degrees of government and private sector involvement in the economy. For instance, while China is a socialist state, the private sector mostly controls the decision making process. Moving from the socialist to a capitalist system would therefore need serious consideration of the current government and private sector involvement in the economy so as not to lead to an imbalance and instability.

“the Labour Party will put the community first and the sectional interests of private business after.” (line 12-13). They also want to restore many liberties that were damaged by the war. In order to build a new society , the Labour chooses to put the accent on industrial and social reforms, which are the basis of the welfare state, and therefore defines the Labour party as a socialist party.

There are many aspects of socialism that many of the third world countries practice. The first aspect of socialism is the rejection of communism and capitalism. Capitalism reminds them of their hated feudal system and the exploitation that it involved. They also feel that communism lacks incentive because it states that people should work only according to their abilities and will receive what they need from the government. Due to the injustices that these people faced under a similar system, it is obvious that capitalism or communism will not provide any motivation for it's people to work harder.
