History of social work : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of social work Social work has its roots in the attempts of society at large to deal with the problem of poverty and inequality. Social work is intricately linked with the idea of charity work; but must be understood in broader terms. The concept of charity goes back to ancient times, and the practice of providing for the poor has roots in all major world religions, but the modern social work profession and program has its roots in 19th century philanthropy. ==Pre-Modern antecedents== Even before the rise of modern European states, the church was providing social services. When Constantine I legalized the Christian Church in the 4th century, the newly legitimised church set up burial societies, poorhouses, homes for the aged, shelter for the homeless, hospitals, and orphanages.〔(KALANTZIS (2006). THE HISTORICAL EVOLUTION OF SOCIAL MEDICINE IN BYZANTIUM (330-1453 AD) )〕〔(C. GILLEARD (2007) Old age in Byzantine society Ageing & Society ) (2007), 27 : 623-642 Cambridge University Press〕 These were often funded, at least in part, from grants from the Empire. By 580 AD the church had a system for circulating consumables to the poor: associated with each parish was a ''diaconium'' or office of the deacon. Monasteries also often served as comprehensive social service agencies, acting as hospitals, homes for the aged, orphanages, travelers' aid stations. During the Middle Ages, the Christian church had vast influence on European society and charity was considered to be a responsibility and a sign of one’s piety. This charity was in the form of direct relief (for example, giving money, food, or other material goods to alleviate a particular need), as opposed to trying to change the root causes of poverty. As there was no effective bureaucracy below city government that was capable of large scale charitable activities, the clergy carried out this role until the Early Modern Period.
