Jane Addams-Experts in Social Work

Jane Addams is a pioneer in Social Work. She was born in Illinois, United States in 1986. After leaving her medical studies for an operation to the spine, she had her first approach with what she would do during her life when she was on her trip in Londres. In that city it belonged to the settlement groups who worked in poor sectors for the industrial revolution. The important thing about these groups is that they criticized having to moralize the poor, they had the logic of living in the place and working with the people to get out of poverty.

So Addams brought that idea to the city of Chicago, where he created one of his most important works, the Hull House. The university students came to this house and had another way of seeing poverty because it wasn't t enough with charity, they had to think about projects together to solve the real needs of the people who lived in those sectors.


I think her idea of ​​"4p" is very important: practice, pluralism, participation and provisionality. This leads to a comprehensive and localized social work. It is linked to sociological theories and philosophy.James Addams was in charge of making laws following these ideas. I think that currently the laws don't have the "4p", problem that leads to charity and it not to think about a project that solves problems.


This is one of his phrases: Social work wasn't born to obey laws but to interrogate them.

English lenguaje challenges

woww I can't believe that this semester is ending! this is my third semester with english class and if I compare now with the first semester I believe have improved. The truth, I'm not good for english. Since I was at school, the english is a torture for me but with the english class of the university I have been developing skills that I never thought I could do. Thanks to the blogs I can think sentences, learn words and understand more english! I still have a lot of to learn but these semesters with the blogs have been a leap to my learning. In this process I have noticed an improvement, however, I know that read and listen are important skills that I haven't been able to develop because I haven't dedicated too much time in their learning. Many people tell me that I need to watch movies and series in english as a method to learn and I will try to do.
