Compare and contrast the Charity Organization Society and the Settlement House Movement

The charity association association (COS) founded in 1869 has greatly influenced social work by supporting and organizing new ways. This, together with family interest and scientific progress, provides an important foundation for the development of social work in the UK. The establishment of a charity association is basically a response to competition and duplicates among various charities and institutions in many parts of the UK and Ireland. There is a general lack of inter-organizational cooperation not only to guide replication but also to the situation of abuse of donation at the time.

The pioneers of the Charity Association saw two immediate demands: they helped and encouraged self-esteemed families seeking to protect themselves from poverty, encourage and organize and coordinate charity organizations to maximize resources You should make use of it.

The essence of charity's technology is a thorough investigation. They believe that access should only be for a specific purpose and should be invited or agreed by the client. They are also seeking "follow-up" - considering which case has been productively done and what you can learn from then

The background of the settlement campaign was the industrial revolution: the world distorted by overnight machine, mass production problem, until then until the scale and diversity were unknown. Factory, people living in long-term immigrants under hazardous conditions to obtain low wages, people living in crowded stinky slums, corrupt and inefficient boss management cities are foreign, personalized Not a more artificial world. In 1884, British sectarian pastor Samuel Burnett in the slums of London offered the need for their own parish for the group of students in the first settlement, Toinbee Hall. Barnett 's idea is simple: To achieve social reform, university students live in slums - as an outpost of education and culture. By 1911 there were 46 social settlements in the UK.

The resolution of the Charity Association and the House of Representatives is the answer to these questions. Both movements were from the UK and complemented the efforts of religious groups and other associations, like local governments and state governments to tackle urbanization and industrialization issues. Charity association associations and clearing organizations are important forces that shape the development of American social work practices and specialization of social work.

Meanwhile, Western social work was divided into two camps: 1) charity organization (COS), and 2) social reform or settlement campaign (day of 1997, Jansson in 1993, Trattner in 1994). COS is interested in poverty and culture adaptation as well as the wave of European immigrants, but social reformers of settlement campaign such as Jane Addams, Julia Lathrop, Florence Kelly are more closely related to sociology . This is because the movement focuses on interpreting poverty, family collapse, unemployment and crime of the social environment.

Different approaches to social work often lead to intense debate. At the beginning of the 20th century, Mary Richmond of the Charity Association (COS) and Jane Adams of the Reconciliation Movement discussed a question whether to use the traditional COS scientific method to solve this problem. And whether prevention or home movement is immersed in the problem, whether to obscure the boundary between the practitioner and the customer, is better

In the 1870s and 1880s, private charitable groups developed rapidly and paid salaries to workers in many areas. The settlement movement that began at this time noticed the terrible living environment and anxiety of poor people in the city and influenced many reforms in the early 20th century. The public health movement that began in the 1850s and started smoothly in the 1890s reflected an attempt to prevent several conditions that led to poverty and dependence - and progress in scientific medical knowledge. In some countries establish or develop a national health committee. In most areas public health and general medical services are increasingly recognized as a function of local and state governments.
