Social work
Social service, also called welfare service or social work includes any of numerous publicly or privately provided services intended to aid disadvantaged, distressed, or vulnerable persons or groups. The term social service also denotes the profession engaged in rendering these services. The social services have flourished in the 20th century as ideas of social responsibility have developed and spread. The basic concerns of social welfarepoverty, disability and disease, the dependent young and elderlyare as old as society itself. The laws of survival once severely limited the means by which these concerns could be addressed; to share anothers burden meant to weaken ones own standing in the struggle of daily existence.
