– Chapter 1 presents evidence that some indicators of social problems in the United States are declining while the social problems index overall shows a worsening of life conditions in our country. Which argument did you find more persuasive? Use evidence as support.
– Chapters 2-3 discuss European and Scandinavian social programs and the pros and cons of a welfare state. Explain some of the positive and negative consequences of these programs.
– Why do we not have similar programs in the United States? What changes might have to occur in our society for social safety nets to be more widespread and/or generous? Would the consequences be the same here as they have been in smaller European countries? Why or why not?
