Social Welfare Programs Developed During the Civil War and Reconstruction Era
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 12 page paper discussing the social welfare programs developed throughout the Civil War and Reconstruction Era. The Civil War and the Reconstruction years until 1896 saw a change in the social reform system in the United States as it was a time when “thousands of people received public assistance for the first time in their lives” according to Green (2003). The 1800s and the impact of the Civil War and Emancipation Proclamation also saw African Americans and minorities for the first time receiving some pensions and benefits although largely the welfare and pension system favored the whites and former soldiers in the war. Nevertheless, the formation of charities, organizations and pensions in the 19th century which addressed the needs of the increased state of poverty and the minority populations provided a basis for the social welfare system and civil rights which progressed through the 20th century.

The Educational Needs of Poverty Stricken Students
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. One of
the most serious and explosive issues in the United States today is how to
meet the educational needs of poverty stricken students in our elementary
schools. If the current trends in educational achievement continue, millions
of students will not obtain the education necessary for full participation in
the economic and civic life of the country. Furthermore, the inequality that
results from differences in educational achievement of children is likely to
make the social stability of the United States increasingly doubtful.

The Effects of Teenage Pregnancy, AIDS, and Care for the Elderly on the Cost of
Medicaid and Medicare
[ send me this paper ]
A 16 page paper discussing teen pregnancy; AIDS research and
treatment; and care for the elderly, and how increased attention to these areas has affected
total costs of the government's primary health care initiatives. Medicare is still out of
control but under intense scrutiny; AIDS research has progressed so well that mortality
from the disease has been reduced 70%. Teen pregnancy also has declined, but access to
Medicaid still is problematic. Lack of first trimester prenatal care keeps infant mortality
rates high, and the physical and learning problems that these children can have as a result of
lack of mother's prenatal care provides ongoing expense that would not be as great were
access to Medicaid more open. The paper concludes that it is teen pregnancy that is the
weakest of the three areas in terms of making positive contribution to public health
management. Bibliography lists 14 sources.
