Excerpt from The Settlement Idea: A Vision of Social Justice
Some of the deep problems of life, the perplexities, the social frictions, the regretable unfairnesses, it is not easy to understand. There are many thoughtful people who would gladly so order their lives that the whole direction of their living might be consistent with the public good, had they but positive knowledge of what that direction should be. Such knowledge cannot come until the great majority of men begin to think in social terms. Perhaps that day is still far off. Nothing, however, can help so much to bring it nearer as a conscious striving for an understanding of social conditions, social values, and social phenomena.
Among college men and women there has been a growing tendency to test out values and to ask questions. It fell to my lot shortly after graduation to become one of a committee to urge men as they came out of the colleges to take an active interest in civic and social problems. Working at such a task, it became increasingly difficult to tell the younger men just what it was for which we were soliciting their interest. It was with difficulty that our committee overcame the "holier than thou" imputation, with which we were constantly embarrassed. Even the use of the term "social service" appeared to be a stumbling block.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a modern exploration of the settlement movement, a method of improving the well-being of society at a local level. The author begins by tracing the roots of the movement to the Industrial Revolution, when rapid urbanization and the rise of capitalism led to widespread poverty and social dislocation. This led to the establishment of settlement houses, where educated individuals lived among the poor and worked to improve their living conditions. The book discusses the challenges and successes of the settlement movement, and the ways in which it has adapted to meet the changing needs of society. The author draws on historical accounts and interviews with social workers to provide a rich and nuanced understanding of the movement, arguing that the settlement house model remains a vital tool for promoting social justice and building more equitable communities. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330091647_0
