Document Summary
Social policy: means of rewarding the victims of economic growth and mitigating the excesses of unrestrained capitalism, serving as insurance against capitalist exploitation, what bring us together as a community, to social workers known as social programs. Public burden model: economic growth in public life, anything that interferes with this, must be restrained, if economic pie gets bigger then everyone can share this new growth (trickle-down economics), in conclusion government policies are not useful. Handmaiden model: social and economic policy seen as commentary. Social policy is matter of choice and needs. Indifferent is when one only pursue for their own self-interest and not caring for others, while interdependence acknowledges for others and is willing to work with others.
