Jane Adams (1860- 1935) “Hull House”
Das Hull House war eine bahnbrechende soziale Einrichtung im späten 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhundert in Chicago, Illinois, USA. Es wurde 1889 von der Sozialreformerin Jane Addams und ihrer Kollegin Ellen Gates Starr gegründet. Das Hull House war eines der ersten Siedlungshäuser in den Vereinigten Staaten und wurde zu einem Modell für ähnliche Einrichtungen in anderen Städten.
Das Hull House diente als Zentrum für soziale Reformen und bot eine Vielzahl von Dienstleistungen und Programmen für die Gemeinschaft an, insbesondere für Einwanderer und Arbeiter in den umliegenden Stadtvierteln. Zu den Angeboten gehörten Unterricht für Kinder und Erwachsene, Beratung, Freizeitaktivitäten, medizinische Versorgung, Wohnraum für Bedürftige und kulturelle Veranstaltungen.
Das Hull House war ein wichtiges Zentrum für soziale Aktivitäten, politische Diskussionen und Bildungsbemühungen. Es spielte eine Schlüsselrolle bei der Förderung von Frauenrechten, Arbeitsreformen, dem Schutz von Kindern und der Verbesserung der Lebensbedingungen für benachteiligte Bevölkerungsgruppen. Das Hull House hatte einen bedeutenden Einfluss auf die Entwicklung des sozialen Engagements und der Sozialarbeit in den Vereinigten Staaten und trug dazu bei, die Bedeutung von sozialer Gerechtigkeit und Solidarität in der amerikanischen Gesellschaft zu betonen.

Black Death 1346 - 1353
(schwarze Pest/ schwarzer Tod)
Die Pandemie breitete sich von Zentralasien über Handelsrouten nach Europa, Nordafrika und den Nahen Osten aus. Sie verursachte massive Todesfälle, dezimierte Bevölkerungen und hatte weitreichende soziale und wirtschaftliche Auswirkungen. In einigen Regionen starb bis zu einem Drittel oder sogar die Hälfte der Bevölkerung.
Die Auswirkungen der Pest waren vielfältig. Sie führten zu einem Mangel an Arbeitskräften, was wiederum die Löhne erhöhte und den Feudalismus beeinflusste. Die Schwächung der traditionellen sozialen Strukturen führte auch zu sozialen Unruhen und politischen Veränderungen. Kulturell und psychologisch hatte die Pest ebenfalls erhebliche Auswirkungen und fand in der Kunst, Literatur und Religion Niederschlag.
Statue of Laborers 1349
Die "Statute of Laborers" (Gesetz über Arbeiter) von 1349 war ein Gesetz, das vom englischen Parlament unter König Eduard III. erlassen wurde. Es war eine Reaktion auf die sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen der Schwarzen Pest, die Europa zwischen 1347 und 1351 heimsuchte. Die Pest hatte einen erheblichen Mangel an Arbeitskräften verursacht, da große Teile der Bevölkerung gestorben waren.

Experimental Research
understanding casual processes
Basic idea: use different variables to measure differences between them

Finding patterns and averages
making predictions
testing casual relationships
Basic Idea: Collecting and analyzing numerical data

Name three methods of quantitative research.
Three quantitative research methods are:
1. Experimental Research: This method involves the manipulation of variables to establish cause-and-effect relationships. Participants are randomly assigned to different conditions, and outcomes are measured to determine the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable.
2. Survey Research: Surveys involve collecting data from a sample of individuals through questionnaires or interviews. The data collected can be analyzed quantitatively to identify patterns, trends, and relationships within the sample population.
3. Correlational Research: This method examines the relationship between two or more variables without intervening or manipulating them. Correlation coefficients are used to measure the strength and direction of the relationship between variables, helping researchers understand the extent to which changes in one variable are associated with changes in another.
Name three methods of qualitative research.
1. Ethnography: Ethnography involves immersing the researcher in the culture or social setting being studied to gain an in-depth understanding of the participants' behaviors, interactions, and perspectives. Researchers often spend extended periods in the field, observing and participating in daily activities, conducting interviews, and collecting various forms of qualitative data to capture the nuances of the culture under study.
2. Phenomenology: Phenomenology focuses on exploring individuals' subjective experiences and perceptions of a particular phenomenon or aspect of their lived experiences. Researchers seek to understand the essence of these experiences through in-depth interviews, reflective journaling, or other qualitative data collection methods. Phenomenological research aims to uncover the underlying meanings and structures that shape individuals' perceptions and interpretations of their reality.
3. Grounded Theory: Grounded theory is an iterative and systematic approach to developing theories grounded in the data collected from empirical research. Researchers begin with open-ended data collection, such as interviews or observations, and then use constant comparison and coding techniques to analyze the data and identify patterns, categories, and themes. Through this iterative process, researchers generate theories that emerge directly from the data, rather than imposing preconceived theoretical frameworks.
Name one research methods which can be used for gathering data based on personal experience.
Autoethnography involves the researcher reflecting on their own experiences within a cultural context, often combining personal narrative with analytical insights to understand broader social or cultural phenomena. It allows researchers to explore their own lived experiences, perspectives, and identities, while also considering how these experiences are shaped by larger social and cultural forces. Autoethnography can provide valuable insights into subjective experiences and contribute to a deeper understanding of complex social phenomena.
