The field of human services with emphasis on its history

In this assignment, you will explore the field of human  services with emphasis on its history and the effects, both positive and  negative, it has had on people. This assignment allows you to identify  and follow the evolution of the influence of social policy, theory, and  outcomes of practices on human services delivery. The activities in this  assignment will introduce students to the types of activities that have  influenced real-world administrative roles. At the end of the  assignment, you will be able to conceptualize how the policy and  practice issues influence the operation of human services agencies.

Tasks:

Select and research an issue in human services history  that has impacted the delivery of services. In a 6- to 7-page report,  complete the following:

• Describe the issue, its background, and the key people who were involved.
• Explain how the issue or these key people have changed or defined human services.
• Discuss the issue and the key people's  impact on theory, practices, and ethics, and how these issues have  changed service delivery systems.
• Evaluate and discuss if the changes are still evident today or have become extinct.

Examples of issues may include, but are not limited to,  the Civil Rights Movement, Family Medical Leave Act, GI Bill, work/life  balance, and childhood vaccinations.

 By the due date assigned, prepare a 6- to 7-page  report. Your response should rely upon at least three sources from  professional literature. This may include the Argosy University online  library resources, relevant textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles,  and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or  institutions (.edu, .org, or .gov). Write in a clear, concise, and  organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate  representation and attribution of sources (i.e., APA format); and use  accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
