152 Words1 Page

The second host-country factor affecting immigrants’ assimilation is the welfare policy. The most influential welfare-regime typology is that of Gøsta Esping-Andersen (1990), who identifies three different welfare regimes: liberal, conservative corporatist, and social democratic. The U.S. typifies the liberal welfare regime, in which public assistance is not universally available to the entire population as a social right, and aid is offered to the deserving poor only. Instead, the U.S. liberal welfare state is characterized by the prominence of private welfare arrangements – especially employer-sponsored benefits.

  • Forced Assimilation Case Study

    698 Words  | 3 Pages

    Final Exam Nathanael Vitkus • What type of issues should the therapists be aware of issues that started after genocide & forced assimilation? Individuals who have survived genocide and forced assimilation might have survivor guilt; a condition brought about by being a survivor of a horrific event, in which the individuals who “make it” might question why they survived whereas others did not, they might feel guilty or somehow unworthy (not that worthiness is a factor to surviving a genocide). For therapists addressing this issue they should tread carefully, primarily by listening to them but being mindful of the effect of silence might have, engaging in their questions if therapeutic (but mindful yet again that sometimes there really isn’t an answer that suffices), and by putting them in contact with other genocide and forced assimilation survivors and/or a support group for survivors of a genocide or forced assimilation. Because while listening might help out the genocide or forced assimilation survivor, the support that can be provided by other survivors might be more beneficial because of it being an experience they survived together in a way, that they aren’t alone in the struggle of surviving.
