Week 1 Discussion: Begin Your Yellowdig Discussion

This course uses a tool called Yellowdig to facilitate discussions. If you have not yet read the Using Yellowdig study in this week’s activities, read that now to learn what Yellowdig is and how to use it.

For this discussion, share your thoughts about the Elizabethan Poor Laws.

Here are some ideas to get you started:

  • What was the view of the poor during this period of history?
  • How did the Catholic and Protestant churches influence approaches to poverty?
  • What were some incentives for families to take in a dependent person?
  • Reflect on what, if any, evidence there was of considerations that would today be related to diversity, equity, and inclusion and how that might be impacting current social work policies and practices.

Guidelines

  • Your writing: Each post should show courtesy and be succinct, professional, well written, and organized, using proper writing mechanics, grammar, and punctuation.
