...Tradition? Allison D. Murdach Social work authors in the 1950s claimed progressivism as a unique social work "tradition" and set of values, and this historical interpretation has influenced many versions ofsocial work history since that time.Today, other voices in the profession claim various divergent traditions for social work and note that the progressive tradition has waned in the profession. Given these uncertainties, the question of whether social work has or still possesses a progressive tradition is once again revisited, and the current relationship between social work and progressivism is evaluated. KEY WORDS: professional identity;progressivism; social work practice; social work traditions; social work values T he field ofsocial work has long been identified with a focus on poverty, tbe welfare of children and families, unemployment, discrimination, and social justice. Tbese areas are also among the constant concerns of progressivism, a political movement stemming from the early 20th century that, at various times, has dominated tbe political process in tbe United States during the past 100 years. Given the similarity ofthe concerns of social work and progressivism, it has been argued that because social work from its earliest days adopted a "tradition" of humanitarian social reform—called the "American tradition" by Cohen (1958)—tbe profession has essentially become identical with progressivism in all major respects. Furthermore, it has been asserted tbat tbis orientation...

...3.5 Politics and Reform Segment 5 highlights how legislative issues blocked change endeavors and how African Americans confronted expanding separation amid the late 1800s. The two-party framework created a stalemate in Washington in the late 1800s. The administration experienced issues tending to national issues because of the about even appropriation of force in the middle of Republicans and Democrats. At the point when Republicans won control of both places of Congress and the White House in 1888, they pushed through new financial changes. These changes, in any case, changed the financial backing surplus into a financial plan deficiency. Troubled with the two-party framework and their financial viewpoint, numerous ranchers swung to populism. Ranchers sorted out into the Grange, the Greenback Party, and the Farmers' Alliance. The primary goal of the gathering was to extend the forces of the government to ensure ranchers. In spite of the fact that the Populists never won a presidential race, they motivated changes that were later received by different gatherings. Taking after the Civil War, isolation became possibly the most important factor, and African Americans were confronted with narrow mindedness, roughness, and financial hardship. Empowered by the Supreme Court's choice to upset the Civil Rights Act of 1875, Southern States passed a progression of laws that fortified isolation. Another Supreme Court decision supported "separate yet rise to" offices for African Americans...
