Basically, social policy is policy developed by governmental agencies which helps regulate health and well-being of humans in a given societal structure (like, for example, minimum liability insurance required on vehicles).  The definitions are more specific based on the agency that creates the policy.  For example, politics may create social policy to deal with the issue of abortion.  See the definitions below from Wikipedia:\n\n"Social policy relates to guidelines for the changing, maintenance or creation of living conditions that are conducive to human welfare. Thus social policy is that part of public policy that has to do with social issues such as public access to social programs. In an academic environment, social policy refers to the study of the welfare state and the range of responses to social need.\n\nIn United States politics, social policies are those which regulate and govern human behavior in areas such as sexuality and general morality."\n\nSee the following:

I am not a doctor, I am a special education teacher.  So, my advise is not medical.  Yes, they absolutely can make wonderful parents.  Developmental disabilities can mean many different things.  If they have mild learning disabilities, a person would generally not even know they have special needs by speaking/interacting with them.  They have an abundance of support systems available for people with disabilities.  SSI is a main one, and no, that does not mean our tax dollars pay for their services.  They have incentives to work but at the same time keep some of their medical benefits.  There are services that come in and teach the needed skills, i.e. parenting, to make the transition into parenthood as easy as possible.  People with disabilities are some of the most caring individuals you will ever meet.  It may take them a little longer to grasp certain concepts, however with support groups, this is possible.  Check out microboards on the Internet, they are support groups of people who are centered around the individual with a disability.

It depends on what issues you are talking about. For example, the "No child left behind" act is a Federal program (in theory it is meant to help improve education in this country) but the Governemt is only telling the state what to do and what standard to meet. The Federal Goverment needs to back that up with Federal money and not just enforce the rules it made up.\n\nIf you could define the issues/programs/concerns that a State should control VS. Federal Control your question could be answered more effectively

Ask the staff for the policy.  As a parent or a staff member you have a right to see it.

I believe people shape a society.  A family is the base of a good society.

Yes, I think the government intrudes on our personal life way too much.  A parent could be arrested for spanking their child.  The Dept. of Human Services has become a threat to every parent.  Your kids can be taken away a lot easier these days.  My neighbor will lose her kids if she misses too many counseling appointments that were set up by DHS.  It's getting ridiculous.....

Federal branch takes care of business, it also seems to rule over those gray areas of government.\n\nState government rules the state.

Once elected, the government can do what it like - and it will! There are very few examples, when the policies reflect some kind of political ideology, more examples of corruption and of politicians being tangled up in a spiderweb of favours and lots of cases, which demonstrate that in reality it's often the powerful bosses of the big companies, who dictate many of our policies.\n\nThe only time, when public pressure is of any importance at all, is directly before the elections. Very sad!

well it can often affect the dynamic of the family overtime. Typically the first generation (the people just on the way over) experience some kind of negative emotions toward the new culture that they are entering to. This is reflected through the popularity of ethnic enclaves and the like (its just simply more important to be around those who can help and are like you when you first arrive). The second generation (children) usually begin a bit of a change in thought toward the dominant culture due to the public school system. They want to be like their new friends and fit in with their peer groups at school. This can create a new set of tension within the family as older family practices come into conflict with the wants of the second generation. By the time the third generation hits (grandkids of the immigrants) there is already a bit of culture loss from the original culture which has been supplanted by the dominant culture. This melding of culture affects the family as the newer generation always appears continue to break away from cultural practices.\n\nThere is something to be said for the fact that the family dynamic in immigrant families is similar to families from the dominant groups. There is still the same tensions that would have occured in the original culture as children begin to grow up, rebel, and seek their own independence. However there is large external agent (the change in location) which affects these tensions even more.

NO.  you must have your Family Care plan in place at all times.  if you do not, you will seperated and lose out on all of your benefits for failing to maintain readiness.  \n\nit's an insult to every other parent out there, single or otherwise who manage to do their duty without shirking their responsibilities to country and kin.

it's the government's responsability to provide good public education for children.  parents do have a choice- they can send their kids to private schools if they want.  but the government shouldn't pay for it.\nwe don't want to just pass the problem off by handing out money.  public education can and does work, if it is properly funded.

hmmm i beleive it can have both negative and positive effects...on one hand your children are home and you know they are safe...on the other hand kids dont like to be controlled, if theyre going to do drugs or have sex or whatever the curfews try to prevent , if they want to do whatever it is theyre going to it regardless hmm maybe there will be more kids skipping school to do what they want during the day when theyre parents are gone who knows i think it should left up to parents to decide when theyre children should be home does the government raise our children...i dont think so maybe old people should have to be in some cant drive as it is haha
