Prevention: The Mission Social Element

Abstract: 5 pages in length. Because society is fundamentally based upon performance and profit, it is not unusual to find that the concept of prevention is completely lost in the muck and mire of bottom line earnings. Based upon theories of productivity, it is not the least bit shocking to find that many contemporary societies still reflect incredible amounts of poverty, disease and homelessness in spite of the fact that their resources are fully capable of feeding, clothing, housing, educating and medicinally caring for their suffering masses. Examining the potential for prevention, Paul Robart Loeb's Values, Work, and Family, Jo Goodwin Parker's What is Poverty? and Smith & Moyers' Healing and the Community help to provide answers to a troublesome concern. No additional sources cited.
