The document outlines a discussion prompt asking students to: 1) Identify significant events that shaped social welfare policies during a chosen time period. 2) Explain two to three values reflected during that time period based on assigned readings. 3) Compare how those values are expressed in current social services. Students are asked to support their response with evidence from readings using APA citations and a reference list to gain experience applying APA style. Feedback will focus on improving APA citation and referencing skills for future assignments.
