Charity and State-Sponsored Support Response
In response to adunniad’s posting in the discussion forum that was posted on Saturday, 14 March 2020, a lot of the concepts of charity and state-sponsored supports relate to the work that we do as human service professionals. In today’s society, most policies are theoretically meant for social services programs. To be more precise, there are various policies, such as Employment Protection and Insurance Services. Despite these frameworks, it is unfortunate that back in the day, workers were being injured and killed by powerful machines almost daily (Parks Canada, 2009). And it is even more troubling than their employers did not want to provide safety and compensation for these injuries or deaths (Parks Canada, 2009). After the occurrences of these accidents, charity and state-sponsored support systems used the legal system to force the employers to compensate the employees who were affected by the misfortunes, and this motivated other organizations to restructure their working conditions in a bid to ensure safety and security. What is more, due to the volatile nature of work, insurance of employees has changed; however, the protection that exists is a safety net that protects similarly as the past. At some point, the influx of immigrants into the newly industrialized world of the North led to urbanization and the inevitable creation of slums (Katz, 1995). After various charity and state-sponsored Support response research programs, it was discovered that the immigrants at that time required language classes and translation services to help them get jobs and integrate themselves in their communities (Katz, 1995). Up-to-date, it is common practice for the government and other philanthropic organizations to provide language services to help immigrants develop skills to ensure they can access employment opportunities and other vital resources.
