This chapter explores what happened to child care coalition when the federal government provided new child care funds. Child care did not have the same meaning for federal officials and for the early childhood educators and mothers. The federal government's goal was to provide compensatory education to poor children through programs such as Head Start and to reduce welfare rolls with the Public Welfare amendments to the Social Security Act. Unfortunately, these programs symbolically and practically linked child care to “welfare mothers” and their children. Advocates, who by this time has confidence in their influence, effectiveness, and place in the democratic process, encountered a federal government that considered child care an appropriate service only for the poorest Americans.

While the field of bankruptcy scholarship is well established, there has so far been very little scholarly investigation of the social context in which bankruptcy occurs. Scholars, politicians and other commentators tend to discuss this subject under the rubric of ‘bankruptcy stigma’. Yet these discussions generally draw upon interviews with debtors, or other indirect indicators of public opinion, such as newspaper articles. They are seldom based upon surveys or interviews with members of the public.

The essence of a policy evaluation of the personnel situation in the amalgamated municipalities is to investigate the degree to which the amalgamation as instrument achieved the present objectives and thedegree to which the instruments used have contributed to it. Such an evaluation is complicated by the fact that insufficient attention was given to the objectives in the amalgamation policy and to the time period within which they had to be achieved. From the analysis, it appears, in any case, that the number of personnel grew after the amalgamation in the local administrations more than in others. This applies in particular to the public welfare agencies. This growth is probably to be ascribed more to the social evolution than to the amalgamation operation. The demonstration of scale effects is not easy because of the lack of diachronic studies. The fact that large municipalities have relatively more personnel than small municipalities may not be deduced from an increase of the population. The diachronic study of the percentage of the total expenditures for personnel shows that this part has decreased, which could indicate a scale effect. However, one has, at this time, insufficient information of the factors that explain the amount of personnel so that a change in that amount cannot simply be ascribed to the  amalgamation. At the same time, the hypothesis is formulated that the amalgamation of the municipalities as a policy measure bas not brought about many changes on the level of policy implementation. This can be explained by the lack of an accompanying strategy for change. It does not suffice to vote for a law to bring about a fundamental change.

In this study, the author studies the role of Christian religious education in combating hoax on social media. This study begins with the author's empirical observation where these days hoax on social media becomes the main news that is endlessly discussed in public. As a result of many hoaxes on social media, there are many divisions between the people as expressed in this empirical study. If it is carefully observed that the main problem is not in the development of science and technology globally, but the problem is there are every person who uses the technology irresponsibly because humans are too spoiled with various facilities of technological sophistication so that there is no control when someone is free to express opinions in social media. Ironically this freedom is exploited to explore personal and group interests, without seeing the consequences of this dishonourable behaviour. By looking at these various facts, this study presents an effort to provide understanding and education to the public to participate in combating hoax on social media. The purpose of this study is to invite all Christians to contribute and care for the social problems that are troubling society today. Therefore it is time for the role of Christian Religion education to be applied through lifestyles by communicating honestly and get used to using ethics when surfing on social media. Tulisan ini merupakan kajian terhadap peran pendidikan agama kristen dalam memerangi berita hoaks di media sosial. Kajian ini berangkat dari pengamatan penulis secara empiris dimana hari-hari ini berita hoaks di media sosial menjadi berita utama yang tidak habisnya dibicarakan di publik. Akibat dari mewabahnya berita hoaks di media sosial maka tidak sedikit terjadinya perpecahan diantara masyarakat sebagaimana yang diungkapkan dalam tulisan ini seacara empiris. Jika diperhatikan dengan teliti bahwa unsur persolan sebenarnya bukan terletak pada perkembangan ilmu dan teknologi secara global, tetapi persoalannya adalah ada pada setiap oknum yang memanfaatkan teknologi tersebut karena manusia terlalu dimanjakan dengan berbagai fasilitas dari kecanggihan teknologi tersebut sehingga tidak ada kontrol ketika seseorang bebas mengeluarkan berpendapat di media sosial. Dengan melihat berbagai fonomena ini maka tulisan ini hadir sebagai upaya memberi pemahaman dan edukasi kepada masyarakatuntuk ikut berpatisipasi dalam memerangi berita hoaks di media sosial. Tujuan kajian ini mengajak seluruh umat Tuhan untuk berkontribusi dan peduli terhadap persolan-persoalan sosial yang sedang meresahkan masyarakat saat ini.
