JACOBIAN CAREER
OR
INTERNSHIP
Whispers Essay #3 Goehler

CREATE EITHER AN INDIVIDUAL CAREER PLAN OR INTERN PROGRAM
THAT INTEGRATES YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF THE HUMAN SERVICE FIELD.

This is a very interesting challenge. Considering the history of being human,
where Sapience supplants the Bestial nature within amalgamated cult-
ures, let's perpetuate the problem and validate the Human Service Field.

Human service provides three different functions: Social Care,
Social Control, and Rehabilitation. Indeed, upon the decline of
feudalism, the growth of commerse, and the begining of industrialization,
it was necessary to find new ways of assisting those in need. Alas;
legitimization by legislation began in the land of circumcision (: a
Jewish "rite of inclusion" in the Jewish religious community), in response
to the increasing number of poor people in Great Britain.
The Poor Law of 1601 provided a clear definition of the poor, and articulated
services that they were to receive. This legislation is the foundation for the
current social welfare system-and its corresponding compulsory taxation
to raise funds to establish a Jacobinical Bureaucracy which promotes
an egalitarian democracy.

Call me crazy if you can't see it, but it seems to me much like the
allegorical history lesson of domestication portrayed by the deceptive
tent-dweller Jacob, outwitting his cunning-hunter twin brother Esau,
in Genesis 25 27/33.

Like England, the colonies responded to the needy by developing institutions.
From the 1600s to the 1800s, Almshouses, state hospitals and District workhouses
were the fraternal Orders of frankpledge franchises, siphoning tax
revenues to the degree of "need" required. Alas; Merchants of Chaos
could maintain their parasitic post only as long as there were able-
bodied poor who could be made to appear mentally ill criminals.
Social Care, Social Control cannot flourish along with Rehabilitation,

don't you see? Large-scale immigration, rapid industrialization, and
widespread urbanization led to many societal changes during the colonial years.
These changes brought more poverty and more bureaucratic outlays for relief
of the poor.
By the early 1800s however, the philosophy of the United States had changed.
Destitution was viewed as the fault of the individual, and public aid was
thought to cause and encourage poverty. The belief that to be poor was a
crime-hence, justifying the social care/social control franchise-was
manifested in the Poor Law Reform Bill of 1834. Its purpose was to limit
the expansion of Jacobinic services provided to the poor. This bill introduced
the concept of "less eligibility," stating that assistance to any person in need
must be lower than the lowest working wage paid. The social philosophies
of individualism, economic laissez-faire, and Social Darwinism promoted
further changes in attitudes toward the poor and needy, and their parasitic
"helpers". After all, Pioneers were needed to conquer the wild-wild
west! Given the choice of inlisting to fight in the brewing Mexican War,
and homestead land-or remain an insane pauper- there was a
stampeed of cannonfodder headed west! And at about that same time
West Point Generals were planning their own war against secessionism
of independent states/colonies, to give the rest of the paupers some-
thing to do.
Yes, I do uphold a constant theme of conspiracy, don't I? Let's see:

The British colonies in North America attracted a mass immigration through-
out the 17th and 18th cent., coming from the British Isles, Germany, the
Netherlands, and other countries. The population reached 3 million non-natives
by the 1770s. British attempts to control colonial trade and tax the colonists
to pay for the colonial administration, provoked the American Revolution.
Call me crazy if you can't see it, but that revolution killed off 1/4 million
by 1783, and 29 yrs later another 1/4 million European immigrants in
the British War of 1812! The Mexican War of 1846-48 cost a meager 80k,
but our so-called Civil (sic) War of 1861-65 killed approx. 3 million more,
before the last rivet was driven into the statue of liberty in 1886,
