In this second module of the first course, we're going to spend more time thinking about the domains of social policy. These various areas of social policy that we think about to get our heads around it, have many implications. One of the implications is that it's a place where we see the issues of discrimination, and inequality playing out across race and ethnic groups across gender and gender identity, and also across disability. So we'll keep talking about that as we develop. So the domains of that we're going to be talking about, first of all our education in its various levels and educational quality, educational access, health care, health care quality, health care access. In the fourth and fifth class, we'll return and talk about some of the issues here. Worker protection, worker safety hours of work, discrimination in the workplace, housing, issues of housing access, housing supports, the investment in housing, social services, direct services to people provided by professionals, which includes the services that are given to Veterans. Then we will talk about what most people think about when they think about social welfare. The income support programs, social insurance, the retirement and disability programs, unemployment, insurance, and others. Public aid, the programs that support people that are in need, food stamps, tan of SSI, and so forth. As we talk about each of these domains, we'll be talking about the issues of dependencies. Some people in the society we assume will be dependent, and will need support from the wider society, the elderly, children, so people with certain sorts of disabilities. Then we'll be talking about the issues of historic disk and current discrimination, gender, gender identity, race, the history of race, and the history of race and ethnicity in the country, and how that has developed difference that we are struggling to address, and then the questions of disability. So this beginning discussion of domains will begin in this module, and then will continue in course four and course five. So in the next module, we'll be talking about education.
