Assessment - Welfare Frameworks

Written task to demonstrate understanding of the foundational social policy concepts: ‘welfare' and ‘ideology' from weeks one, two and three.

Select two of the provided speeches or newspaper articles.

Identify and discuss which ideology underpins the speakers' view of welfare in each speech.

Justify your selection of these ideologies.

You will interpret the dominant ideologies underpinning the speech by analysing the historical context and the language (words and sentences) used in the speech /article against the theoretical descriptions of welfare concepts and ideologies found in the required readings for weeks 2 and 3.

You may discuss
• The way the speaker conceptualises human nature. i.e the terms they use to signify people and whether they understand people as individuals or part of larger social groups and contexts.
• How, in their view, is welfare produced? Who is responsible for welfare?
• What is the role of government?
• Is their understanding of welfare social, occupational, or fiscal?
• Does it reflect Social Justice principles?
• Do they have universal or targeted approaches to social policy in mind?

All these characteristics of their view of welfare will be underpinned by a wider ideological stance that you will name and justify with reference to the language used in the speeches.

Ensure that they represent two different ideological position e.g. one ‘Social-Democratic' and one ‘Neoliberal,' or one ‘Third Way' and one ‘Liberal.'
(Note there are two newspaper articles put together to form one document; there are writers as well as speakers quoted in these articles. The ideological analysis will focus on the words used by the speakers.)

The essay will be written in formal academic style, with an introduction, a body, and a conclusion. The introduction will define and locate ideology as a key feature of policy analysis for community service work. The body will contain your logical points. The conclusion will summarise your points.

You are required to reference at least two required readings, at least two academic texts or article that you have located yourself and each speech.
