	Social History
		Social history is a way of looking at how a society organizes itself and how this organization changes over time.
		Nevertheless the goal serves as a constant reminder to historians that aspects of history cannot be considered in isolation and that social history is an integrative study concerned with building towards a global picture of society.
		Social history began as the garbage collector of the discipline.

	U.S. Social History - Bibliography
		Although the advocates of social history might differ in their methodological or ideological commitments, they agreed on the need to displace "traditional" narratives of the American past—ones that privileged high politics, diplomacy, or intellectual life—and to replace them with "new" histories that emphasized social and economic processes and phenomena.
		While social science historians preferred to make their claims on the basis of "objective" sources—city directories, wills, estate inventories—historians of the marginalized and of social movements also continued to rely on "subjective" sources—letters, diaries, and newspapers—for evidence of consciousness or culture.
		Though not all social historians were Marxists, the revival of interest in modes of Marxist analysis, and the return of interpretations, which emphasized conflict instead of consensus, were among the most important changes that were wrought in the profession.

	World History Connected \| Vol. 2 No. 2 \| Peter Stearns: Social History and World History: Toward Greater Interaction
		Social history originated almost entirely as a research field, and its spillover into teaching has usually been peripheral to the main interests of practitioners; world history, despite research precedents, effectively originated in teaching in its recent surge, and only gradually has moved to identify research strengths.
		While social history was a vital part of the area studies movement, with particular focus on peasants and peasant protest, the fullest development of social history research has applied to Western Europe and the United States—here is where the range of social history topics has been most fully deployed.
		Social historians themselves have recently been reminded that, in their eager embrace of cultural topics, they have increasingly neglected material realities, at a time when, globally, issues of poverty and inequality have been intensifying and taking on new contours.

	Social history - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Social history is an area of historical study considered by some to be a social science that attempts to view historical evidence from the point of view of developing social trends.
		Social history is often described as 'history from below' or 'Grass- roots history' because it deals with the every-day people, the masses and how they shape History rather than the leaders.
		While proponents of history from below and the French annales school of historians have considered themselves part of social history, it is seen as a much broader movement among historians in the development of historiography.

	Social Security Online
		Social insurance, as conceived by President Roosevelt, would address the permanent problem of economic security for the elderly by creating a work-related, contributory system in which workers would provide for their own future economic security through taxes paid while employed.
		The Social Security program that would eventually be adopted in late 1935 relied for its core principles on the concept of "social insurance." Social insurance was a respectable and serious intellectual tradition that began in Europe in the 19th century and was an expression of a European social welfare tradition.
		The significance of the new social insurance program was that it sought to address the long-range problem of economic security for the aged through a contributory system in which the workers themselves contributed to their own future retirement benefit by making regular payments into a joint fund.

	History of British society - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This social mobility was combined with the fact that peasants could charge much more for their services, and this began a switch from indentured labourer to wage earner which signalled the decline of the feudal system.
		The social changes during the Victorian era were wide-ranging and fundamental, leaving their mark not only upon Britain but upon much of the world which was under Britain's influence during the 19th century.
		The social reforms of the last century continued into the 20th with the Labour Party being formed in 1900, but this did not achieve major success until the 1922 general election.

	Nick Salvatore \| Biography and Social History : an Intimate Relationship \| Labour History, 87 \| The History Cooperative
		This comment instead suggests that the recent turn to biography in labor and social history is most welcome, for it creates the possibility of a broader understanding of the interplay between an individual and social forces beyond one's ability to control.
		To which he said, in effect: a dissertation is your 'union card' into the historical profession, and biography is not history because the question of periodisation is a given, as biography is framed by the birth and death of the subject.
		Whether driven by political ideologies, an evangelical belief in the efficacy of social history, or a potent combination of the two, some critics raised a common complaint in the form of a question.

	Social Security Reform Center - History
		Social Security was thought to be actuarially sound.
		The commission called for 1) and increase in the self-employment tax; 2) partial taxation of benefits to upper income retirees; 3) expansion of coverage to include federal civilian and nonprofit organization employees; and 4) an increase in the retirement age from 65 to 67, to be enacted gradually starting in 2000.
		To keep the unchanged system actuarially sound, payroll taxes would have to be increased 50%, to 18% of payroll, or benefits would have to be slashed by 30%.

	The Social History of Alcohol
		Throughout the course we will examine attempts to control or promote alcohol consumption within the context of a broader history of social reform, and trace the ways in which the "liquor question" became wrapped up in conflicts over gender roles, ethnicity, immigration, labor struggles, class antagonism, and the power of science.
		A major premise of the course is that the systematic study of the social history of alcohol can deepen our understanding both of Western society’s traditional drug of preference and of the forces that have shaped the modern world.
		Because this course is a seminar organized primarily for junior and senior history majors, there will be a strong focus on original historical research in primary sources, and on writing.

	Social Security history Frequently Asked Questions
		Originally, the Social Security Act of 1935 was named the Economic Security Act, but this title was changed during Congressional consideration of the bill.
		Keep in mind, however, that the Social Security Act itself was much broader than just the program which today we commonly describe as "Social Security." The original 1935 law contained the first national unemployment compensation program, aid to the states for various health and welfare programs, and the Aid to Dependent Children program.
		There are also tables showing the minimum and maximum Social Security benefit for a retired worker who retires at age 62 and one who retires at age 65.
