	Social Science Quarterly, Sept 1992 v73 n3 pp
		The notion that between the world wars a group of French historians open to the insights and methods of the social sciences declared war on traditional narrative and largely political history and through the journal Annales made French historical scholarship preeminent depends in large part on denigrating the historical accomplishments of earlier French scholars.
		Febvre for his part was influential in probing the complexities in writing a social history of religious belief, utilizing linguistics and psychology, in trying to understand the appeals of Protestantism in the sixteenth century and the fundamental world view of that age.
		It may be that they have attempted to organize all the social sciences under the imperial aegis of historians, not something likely to be easily appreciated or tolerated.

	Workers World Sept. 16, 2004: Bush, Greenspan threaten Social Security
		The Social Security Act of 1935 was to be a first step to guarantee an income for seniors, the disabled and the families of those whose loved ones died prematurely.
		Social Security and Medicare were meant to provide a precious network of concessions won by the courage and sacrifice of the laboring masses that took over the factories and the streets during the 1930s depression.
		Social Security is a contract, an insurance policy, not a handout from the government.

		As of August, the Social Security surplus was about $156 billion, according to a report by the Office of Management and Budget.
		Social Security experts said it's likely all of this year's surplus will go towards defense spending and other costs rather than the price tag to privatize.

		The vision statement for Social Studies, according to the curriculum framework of the State of Michigan, says: “Social Studies is the integrated study of the social sciences to prepare young people to become responsible citizens.
		Social understanding is knowledge of social aspects of the human condition, how they have evolved over time, the variations that occur in differing physical environments and cultural settings, and the emerging trends that appear likely to shape the future.”

	Columbia News ::: Social Work Provides Research and Expertise as New York Continues Sept. 11 Recovery Effort

		The School of Social Work has also offered hands-on expertise to assist in the Sept. 11 recovery effort.
		With existing ties to more than 400 social service agencies, hospitals and schools in the New York metropolitan area, the school's students, faculty and alumni were well-prepared to respond to New York City's needs.

		We are able to clinically document circles of vulnerability and identify people who may be at an increased risk for emotional problems because of their physical or emotional proximity to the terrorist attacks.
		I heard someone say recently, "We are living in times when social workers can be their best." The challenges are great; the social work profession will meet them.

	Thousands Obtain Social Security Numbers Illegally
		Social Security is also waiting for the immigration agency to incorporate data on certain immigrants authorized to work in the United States.
		Huse said the events of Sept. 11 showed that "identity theft was a prime modus operandi of terrorists." Once a person obtains a Social Security number, through proper or improper means, he said, the government has little control over its use.
		Before Sept. 11, it was unusual for the government to imprison anyone on a charge of having obtained a false Social Security number.

	Bush Social Security Commission: Jobs Pay Economy, Sept/Oct 2001
		Social Security is not an investment program but social insurance designed to protect against the risks of retirement, disability and death.
		According to Social Security actuaries, the value of the disability protection is equivalent to an insurance policy of $207,000 and the survivors’ protections are equivalent to a policy of $307,000.
		In the final analysis, Bush’s pledge to save and strengthen Social Security is as disingenuous as his “middle class tax cut.” The Bush Commission is a marketing device designed to provide cover while the administration and its allies seek to dismantle Social Security.

		You also will learn how social psychological principles operate in everyday life and how one might use social psychological knowledge to make positive contributions to the world in which we live.
		You might write, for example, about an interaction between two people that can be understood social psychologically; you might write about a current event that illustrates a social psychological principle; you might write about some aspect of your own behavior that portrays a social psychological concept.
		I propose that you write a second paper (worth 100 points) that uses social psychological principles to create a “utopia.” This paper should be roughly six double-spaced pages in length and contain at least 7 scholarly references.

	FOX23 - Coverage & Convenience - Social Security gave records to law enforcement officials after Sept. 11 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The commissioner has had "ad hoc" authority to create exceptions to the agency's privacy policy for more than 40 years, and Sept. 11 was not the first time such authority was used, Lassiter said.
		Social Security's privacy rules prohibit the agency from disclosing information to law enforcement officials unless the crime involves Social Security or similar government benefit program, or the individual had been indicted or convicted of a violent crime.
		This policy is generally more stringent than other government agencies', and the agency's disclosures after Sept. 11 complied with federal privacy laws, Lassiter said.

	AlterNet: Don't Use the Sept. 11 Tragedy to Loot Social Security
		The Wall Street Journal, in an editorial dated Sept. 19, was among the first to call on Bush to hurry up and take advantage of the "unique political climate" created by the Sept. 11 events to "assert his leadership not just on security and foreign policy but across the board."
		First came a law that took Social Security funds, which had been held separate from general revenues in their own trust account, and folded them into the government's accounting system.
		This included plans to dip into the Social Security surplus while also raising the retirement age and reducing both the retirement benefit and cost-of-living adjustments.

		This course will use a focus on social movements to chart major changes in United States as a set of socio-cultural formations from 1865 to the present.
		The study of social movements takes place in a number of disciplinary and interdisciplinary locations, as well as through activist memoirs, journalistic accounts and other non-academic sources.
		Particularly in sociology, the discipline that has most systematically examined social movements, the research bias has until recently leaned toward more empirically measurable elements of movements to the neglect of cultural factors.
