The food stamp program does identify a group called “able-bodied adults without dependents.”
As a caseworker for IDHS, I inform individuals receiving SNAP they are required to comply with Work Provisions and/or Work Requirements to continue to receive benefits. Individuals between 16 and 60 years old are subject to Work Provisions, meaning they must be registered to work, not voluntarily quit or reduce work hours to less than 30 hours a week. The Work Requirement applies to abled-bodied adults without dependents (ABAWD) between 18 and 52 years old, and they must work an average of 20 hours per week or 80 hours per month. Certain exemptions can be applied, and individuals can comply with alternative activities.

Across centuries of use, it has consistently implied another negative: The able-bodied could work, but are not working (or working hard enough). And, as such, they don’t deserve our aid.
The takeaway from this section implies that the able-bodied need to demonstrate they are worthy of receiving aid. I strongly disagree that the able-bodied don’t deserve assistance if they are not working or not working hard enough. This concept doesn’t factor in that although able-bodied individuals physically appear capable of working, they could be dealing with emotional, mental, or psychological issues like low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, or any other mental disorder that limits them from working or completing daily activities.

A total of 102 articles remained for the conceptual review.
Are the titles of the 102 articles and 37 books named? I would be interested knowing the titles, authors and the specific years they were written.

The term “social justice”—while definitionally complex and lacking consensus in the field (Finn, 2016)—has become a buzzword that is often used in everyday conversations, in schools’ mission statements, and by government and community leaders, rarely with a concrete delineation of exactly what the user means
To summarize, as the term “social justice” is repeated frequently, it loses its meaning. This is a psychological phenomenon called semantic satiation. It’s important to fully understand the meaning of a concept before loosely saying it so there is a concrete definition.

social workers should not discriminate “on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, marital status, political belief, religion, immigration status, or mental or physical ability
I currently work for the Illinois Department of Human Services as a caseworker. I read to the client their rights and responsibilities during each interview, whether it is an initial application or renewal. One of their rights is that the agency will treat the client and their family members with dignity and respect and will not discriminate against any of mentioned factors. Clients must be aware of their rights and identify when they have experienced discrimination. It is important to inform individuals that they can speak up if they have experienced discrimination.
