Social justice has been defined in different ways,
but the definitions usually include similar
ideologies. As you study the concept of social
justice, you will come across some of the following
ideas:
• Historical inequities that affect current injustices
should be corrected until the actual inequities no
longer exist or have been perceptively "negated.”
• Wealth, power, and status should be
redistributed for the good of the individual, the
community, and the society.
2. • It is the responsibility of the government (or
those who hold significant power) to ensure a
basic quality of life for all its citizens.
From country to country social justice is defined in
different ways, and the definitions usually include
ideologies as well as differences. Research the
definition of social justice in the United States
using your textbook, the Argosy University online
library resources, and the Internet. Select another
country to examine its definition of social justice
in order to analyze the ideologies and similarities
using the following steps:
1. Analyze the ideologies.
2. Identify the similarities.
3. Using your reasoning skills, give supporting
statements or arguments that support your
position(s) about the social justice.
3. Your comparing and contrasting must consider the
following:
• Historical values and ideologies of the country
• Economic structure of the country
• Discrimination issues, if any exist
Develop a 2–3-page analysis of the definitions of
social justice in the U.S. and a country of your
choice. Analyze the ideologies, identify their
similarities, and explain how these factors support
your statements or arguments about the social
justice you've selected. Support your explanations
with a minimum of two scholarly sources in
addition to the course text and apply APA
standards to citation of sources.

In this assignment, you must examine the
philosophical underpinnings of the economic
system and its relationship to ethics and social
justice by examining income support policies. You
will also view the socially constructed ways of
developing and distributing resources and
implementing societal values. You will examine
the “problem of justice” by considering the
following:
5. • The distribution of goods and services
• An individual’s share in goods and services
• The allocation of rights and duties
Research income support policies using your
textbook, the Argosy University online library
resources, and the Internet.
Select two policies for examination from the list
that follows. You can select from other types of
income support policies; however, be sure to
submit your choices to the facilitator for validation
before continuing with this assignment.
• Social Security
• Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
• Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
6. Then, compare and contrast the selected income
support policies. Address the following:
• List and describe each income support policy’s
target population, means of funding, and intended
outcomes.
• Explain the positions a conservative politician or
commentator, and a liberal politician would take
on the policy. Address anything they might have in
common ideologically and also describe their
differences.
• Give reasons and examples in support of your
analysis.

The 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act (ACA) was implemented primarily to provide
access to health insurance for those who would not
otherwise be insured. The ACA is not designed as a
single-payer healthcare system although some of
its architects as well as its detractors see the ACA
as steering the United States toward one.
Research the single-payer approach to healthcare
delivery using your textbook, the University online
library resources, and the Internet.
13. In a 3–4-page paper, address the following:
• Define a single-payer system and identify a
country where it is used.
• Using demonstrated research findings, describe
the strengths and weaknesses of a single-payer
healthcare system.
• Based on your current situation in terms of
healthcare coverage (insured by an employer,
covered under a parent’s or spouse’s policy,
receiving government benefits, uninsured, etc.),
explain how a single-payer plan would affect how
you receive healthcare. Do you favor a single-
payer approach?
Why, or why not?
• If you were to design a single-payer system,explain how
you would address the challenges.

In this course, you have learned that social policies
are formulated to solve social problems
considered important by a mass of voters, media,
and political actors. Social policy is but one
solution to the problem—not necessarily the most
rational, effective, or socially just. Social policies
are human creations and, as such, can be changed.
In this paper you will analyze a social policy as a
tool for social justice.
15. Research one social welfare policy using your
textbook, the University online library resources,
and the Internet.
Analyze the policy and address the following:
The social problem addressed by the policy
1. What is/are the problem/s to be solved in the
most fundamental terms?
2. What is the history of the problem/s in the
United States?
3. What are the various theories about the causes
of the problem/s? Based on this, what do you think
is/are the most important causes/s of the
problem/s?
The policy objectives, value premises, expectation,
and target populations
16. 1. Policy objectives—overt and covert objectives:
What are the stated objectives of the policy? In
your judgment, what are the covert objectives of
the policy?
2. What are the values underlying the policy
objectives? What values are revealed by the overt
and covert objectives?
3. What did the policymakers expect would be the
result of the policy?
4. Target segments of the population at whom
policy is aimed: Discuss the direct target of the
policy in terms of size and other demographic
characteristics. Who are the indirect targets of the
policy?
Effects of the policy
1. Intended effects: What effects did the
lawmakers intend?
17. 2. Unintended effects: What effects did the
lawmakers not foresee?
3. Distinguish between short-range (less than five
years) and long-range (over five years) effects of
the policy.
Implications of the Policy
1. Changes in the distribution of material
resources: Are there any changes to the
distribution of material resources, including
income and other tangible benefits, as a result of
the policy for direct or indirect target groups?
2. Changes in distribution of services, rights, and
statuses: Are there any changes in services, rights,
or statuses as a result of the policy?
Alternative Policies
1. What alternative policy/policies would more
effectively address the social problem discussed in
the policy analysis while advancing social justice?
18. Write a 4–6-page paper in Word format. Apply APA
