bifida and cerebral palsy;
2. sensory impairments, such as visual or hearing impairments;

a) a medical condition usually caused by brain damage before or at birth that
causes the loss of control of movement of the limbs;
b) a mental condition in which a person is unable to communicate or form
relationships with others;
c) a medical condition in which a person feels very sad and anxious and often has
physical symptoms such as being unable to sleep, etc.;
d) a medical condition in which some bones in thespine have not developed
normally at birth, often causing paralysis in the legs;
e) an infectious disease that affects the central nervous system and can cause
temporary or permanent paralysis;
f) a situation when a person is physically unable to hear anything or unable to hear
well;
g) an abnormal condition in which a person is born with a wide, flat face, sloping
eyes and a mental ability that is below average.
3.Choose from sentences A–F the one which fits each gap in the text. There is
one sentence that does not fit anywhere.
A. In this model, disability is seen more as a social construction than
39
a medical reality.
B. Lately, the term disability has replaced the older designation handicapped.
C. This position is known as the medical model of disability.
D. Disability is not seen as something invoking pity or in need of a cure.
E. Both the medical and social models agree, to a point, that facilities and
opportunities should be made as accessible as possible to individuals who require
adaptations.
F. By making adjustments, employers and service providers are removing the
barriers that disable – they are effectively removing the disability.
The Evolution of a Movement
Historically, disabilities have often been cast in a negative light. An individual
thus affected was seen as being a "patient" subject either to cureor to ongoing medical
care. His condition is seen as disabling; the social reactions to it are justified, and the
barriers unavoidable. (1)
Over the past 20 years, a competing view known as the social model of
disability has come to the fore. (2) An individual may be impaired by
a condition that requires daily living adaptations, but the bulk of his problem – his
disability – can be found in the attitudinal and physical barriers erected by society.
The social model of disability recognises that some people have impairments
which affect how they function physically or mentally. But those people are disabled
by the barriers that exist in a society that does not take account of their needs. These
barriers may be in the physical, organisational or personal aspects of society – for
instance, stairs without lifts, information not available in large print, or people's
negative attitudes. The social model sees disabled people as having similar wants,
needs and aspirations to non-disabled people, and seeking equal treatment. (3) Indeed
it may be viewed as a positive asset. Equality for disabled people is seen in the same
light as equality for other under-represented groups.
In the United Kingdom, the Disability Discrimination Act definition of disability
uses the medical model – disabled people are defined as people with certain
conditions, or certain limitations on their ability to carry out "normal day-to-day
activities". But the requirement on employers and service providers to make
"reasonable adjustments" to their policies or practices, or physical aspects of their
premises, follows the social model. (4)
(5) Dismantling physical barriers, or setting up adaptations such as wheelchair
ramps, is known as "fostering accessibility".
40
4. Use the word given in brackets to form a word that best fits each place.
Medical Social Work is a sub-discipline of (society) work. Medical social
workers typically work in a hospital, skilled nursing facility or hospice, have
a graduate degree in the field (Mastersdegree in social work), and work with patients
and their families in need of (psychology) help. Medical social workers assess the
psychosocial functioning of patients and families and intervene as necessary.
Interventions may include (connection) patients and families to necessary resources
and supports in the community; providing psychotherapy, supportive counseling, or
grief counseling; or helping a patient to expand and (strength) their network of social
supports. Medical social workers typically work on an interdisciplinary team with
professionals of other disciplines (such as medicine, nursing, physical, occupational,
speech and recreational therapy, etc.). Besides medical social worker often deals with
(high) complex cases involving patients with multiple psychosocial issues, all of
which requiring intervention and leading to delays in discharge. For instance, in a
major urban acute care medical centre, it is not uncommon for the (medicine) social
worker to assess patients who are simultaneously homeless, without health insurance
coverage, have multiple chronic medical and psychiatric conditions, are unemployed,
have just been (release) from incarceration, and have substance abuse problems, all
of which, separately and together, can impede timely discharge.
5. Speak about medical social care provided for people with different kinds of
disabilities.

Homeless Shelter
Homeless shelters are places (1) people to stay temporarily when they otherwise

is that a homeless shelter is usually open to anyone, regardless of why they don't have
a more typical residence available; some limit their clientele (3) gender or age. A
more minor difference (4) that homeless shelters usually expect people to stay
elsewhere during the day, returning only to sleep, or if the shelter also provides meals
to eat, while people in emergency shelters are more likely to stay all day, except for
work, school, or errands. Some homeless shelters, however, are open 24 hours (5)
day.
Homeless shelters are usually operated (6) a non-profit agency, sometimes
associated with a church. Many get a least part of their funding (7) local government
entities.
Homeless shelters sometimes also provide other services, (8) as a soup kitchen,
job seeking skills training, job training, support groups, and/or chemical abuse
treatment. If they don't offer any of these services, they can usually refer (9) clients to
agencies that do.

Murmansk to Open Refuge in N-Street
The city council yesterday announced that it is planning to turn 11, N-Street into
a refuge for homeless people. The two-storey terraced house, which was once a
dwelling house, had been empty for three years.
A council representative explained that the building needed repairs and complete
redecoration before it could take in homeless people. It is expected to open sometime
in the new year and will provide temporary accommodation for homeless people.
As soon as the news of the refuge was announced, some of the N-Street
residents wrote to the council objecting to the use of the house as a refuge. They said,
"We are in favour of providing homeless people with somewhere to live, but N-Street
is not suitable. There are elderly people and families with young children living
here".

become juvenile delinquents. Among the causes of this are poor family relations,
family violence, bad neighbourhood conditions, peer pressure and sometimes drug
abuse.
4. Read the text and discuss the questions that follow.
Domestic Violence
Twenty years ago, little empirical knowledge about intimate partner violence
existed, conceptual explanations for relationship violence were not well thought out,
and social workers were ill trained for dealing with the problem. Domestic violence, at
that time, was private and seen as a family problem and personal issue. Today, students
45
and social workers can benefit from research findings and years of practice experience
that were not available two decades ago.
The implications of domestic violence for social workers are significant; many
of the individuals we work with will be or have been affected as primary and
secondary victims. Many of our male clients have battered their partners. Many of us
have felt the impact of violence in our own families.
Social workers must have insight into the problem of domestic violence to
effectively work toward ending relationship violence. Interventions that might
alleviate domestic maltreatment should be applied at all levels: micro, mezzo, and
macro.
1. How has the attitude to the domestic violence changed recently?
2. Why is the issue of domestic violence vital?
3. What should be done to ease domestic violence? What can social workers do?
4. What particular measures can be taken bylaw enforcement agencies, the
courts, social service agencies and corrections/probation agencies to solve the
problem of domestic abuse?
5. Speak about modern family challenges, their causes, consequences and
possible ways out.

Social work is a profession for those who have a strong desire to help improve
people's lives. Social workers help people function the best way they can in their
environment, deal with their relationships, and solve personal and family problems.
Social workers often see clients who face a life-threatening disease or a social
problem. These problems may include inadequate housing, unemployment, serious
illness, disability, or substance abuse. Social workers also assist families thathave
serious domestic conflicts, including those involving child or spousal abuse.
Social workers often provide social services in health-related settings that now
aregoverned by managed care organizations.
Most social workers specialize. Although some conduct research or areinvolved
in planning or policy development, most social workers prefer an area of practice in
which they interact with clients.
There are child, family, and school social workers, medical and public health
social workers, mental health and substance abuse social workers. Other types of
social workers include social work planners and policymakers, who develop
programs to address such issues as child abuse, homelessness, substance abuse,
poverty, and violence. These workers research and analyze policies, programs, and
regulations. They identify social problems and suggest legislative and other solutions.
They may help raise funds or write grants to support these programs.

Parades and Horses
Renee had been married for a long, long time. Her favorite part of being married was
49
the weekend, when she was with her two horses. On the weekend, Renee was at the
stables from morning until dark. She fed, groomed, and rode her horses. She was an
excellent rider. She would ride the horses bareback on Saturday, and then she would
saddle them up on Sunday.
Renee loved parades. She used to say, “A parade isn’t a parade without a horse.”
Renee loved parades almost as much as she loved her horses. She belonged to an
email list of volunteers for parades. She regularly checked out the state website list of
parades to see if there were any new parades that she didn’t know about. All the state
parades were organized in her computer. In the Parades file, she listed the date, drive
time and distance, parade time, contact people, and other details she felt were
important.
She knew the parade director of every town within a four-hour drive. She never
stayed overnight. She always left the parade in time to get her horses back to the
stables before “bedtime.” She had to feed them before they turned in. Her horses
seemed to like parades, too. They knew a few tricks that always impressed the
children.
Renee was very generous with her time and her horses. But owning horses wasn’t
cheap. You had to rent the stables, and there were always veterinarian and feed bills.
Renee knew how to cope with expenses, though. Her vet always gave her a 10percent discount for paying cash. She always bought the no-name, generic feed for
the horses. Her vet had told her it was just as healthful and tasty as the brand name
stuff. She always bought economy gasoline. And on parade days, Renee always
packed her own lunch and ate with her horses.

The Big Wedding
Ann and Bob were in love. They were going to get married next year. They had
known each other since they were in the third grade. They were both 20 years old.
True love was something that Ann and Bob knew everything about. There was hardly
anything they disagreed about. Even when they disagreed, they settled the
disagreement in such a way that both were totally happy. This was truly a match
made in heaven.
They had already made plans for the wedding. It was going to be a big wedding.
Every relative from both families had already been notified about the date. All their
friends knew about the big day. The invitations were already printed. The priest, the
church, the reception hall, and the limousine service were ready to go.
Nothing was being left to chance. This was going to be the happiest day of their lives.
52
Ann had gone to several wedding web sites for ideas and help. Of course, she had
also consulted her mother, grandmothers, aunts, and married friends about how to
plan the perfect wedding.
Each one of them tried to tell her that there was no such thing as a perfect wedding.
There was always at least one thing, or more usually one person, that made the
wedding a seeming disaster at the time. But of course, like the disaster that happens
on your vacation, that incident or person would be what makes the wedding more
memorable.
“Oh, you should have been at my wedding,” said Aunt Mabel to Ann. “My brother
James was in charge of the rings that Kyle and I were going to exchange. On the
wedding day, James presented the ring to Kyle, who put it on my finger. An hour
later at the reception, I took the ring off to admire it and read the inscription. I
gasped. The jeweler had spelled my name ‘Mable’ as in table. My name, as you
know, dear, is spelled Mabel as in label. So I went to the ladies’ room and cried for
almost half an hour. No one could console me.”
“So, the moral of the story, my dear,” chimed in Aunt Prudence, “is to make sure that
Uncle James isn’t in charge of getting your rings engraved. Not that you would have
a problem. How could anyone misspell your name—it only has three letters, and two
of them are the same.”
“Aunt Prudence, you know that isn’t true,” said Ann. “Half the people I know spell
my name with an ‘e.’ But, Uncle James is not in charge of our rings, so I’m not
worried.”

Looking for Mr. Right
Because Debra had just bought a new laptop computer, she decided that she must
start cutting back on some expenses if she could. Her long distance phone bill was
one expense that sprang to mind. She was paying almost $30 a month to Horizon, her
local phone company. That $30 covered her residence line and various taxes,
surcharges, funds, fees, and services. It also covered her local phone calls—those to
locations within 12 miles.
But she was paying another $40-$80 a month talking to her best friend and to her
boyfriend, both of whom lived more than 12 miles away from her. But how could she
not talk to her best friend and to her boyfriend? Could she tell them she was having
budget problems, so could they please call her in the future? Could she just call them
less often—a lot less often?
Fortunately for Debra, she found the solution a month later, when she tearfully
discovered that her boyfriend and her best friend were seeing each other behind
Debra’s back. Debra saw them kissing in his car outside of a restaurant that all three
of them liked to visit occasionally. Debra immediately called Horizon to cancel her
long distance service. The female customer service representative asked if she was
sure she wanted to do this. Debra said, “Yes, I’m sure. All men are jerks.” The
representative agreed enthusiastically with her.
Debra was only on her new computer for a week before she discovered Computer
Dating, a service that promised: “Ladies, you will get to choose from hundreds of
men in your own ZIP code area. New selections every day.Only $29.95 a month!” As
much as she hated her boyfriend, Debra knew that not all men were alike. Maybe Mr.
Right was waiting for her on her computer screen. Maybe he was living only a block
away. And she did happen to have $30 available.

A Big Lottery Winner
A 58-year-old grandmother in Massachusetts won one of the biggest prizes in U.S.
history—$294 million. If she had taken the 26-year payout, Doris Stevens would
have received $11 million a year for 26 years, before taxes.
Mrs. Stevens decided to take the lump sum payment. People who take the lump sum
get paid within 60 days, but their total payment is reduced by almost 40 percent. Mrs.
Stevens’s lump sum was $168 million, but after the federal tax was applied, she
received $110 million. That’s the amount that Mrs. Stevens got to put in her purse.
Recently divorced, Stevens says that her ex-husband has already called her to ask
about a “loan.” She laughed. “I wouldn’t lend him a quarter to call the police if he
was getting robbed. Let him borrow money from his new young girlfriend who
makes him so happy.”
What is she going to do with her windfall? “Well, the first thing I'm going to do is to
help out my children and grandchildren, of course. Next, I hope to revolutionize the
housecleaning industry.”
A housecleaner for her entire life, Mrs. Stevens says she’s going to establish a
National Housecleaner Helper Corporation. Her corporation would focus on giving
seed money to various individuals and research firms to develop more efficient and
more powerful housecleaning solvents and tools.
“When was the last time you saw something new in housecleaning?” Mrs. Stevens
asked. “They keep claiming they’ve invented new products that remove any and all
blemishes, but they still haven’t invented a product that removes an ordinary
ballpoint ink stain from your ordinary white shirt. This industry needs some new
products. I hope to revolutionize the cleaning world, so that my ‘sisters’ will have an
easier time of it in the future. We’ve all spent too much time on our hands and knees.
If men had to do housecleaning, you know that they’d be inventing more powerful
products every week.”

Liverpool is a city and metropolitan borough of Merseyside, England, along the
eastern side of the Mersey Estuary. It was founded as a borough in 1207 and was

the largest within the United Kingdom, sitting at the centre of one of the two core
economies within the North West of England. In common with much of the rest of
the UK today, Liverpool's economy is dominated by service sector industries, both
public and private.
In 2007, over 60% of all employment in the city was in the public administration,
education, health, banking, finance and insurance sectors. Liverpool's rich
architectural base has also helped the city become the second most filmed city in the
UK outside of London. Liverpool is also the home of two Premier League football
clubs: Liverpool F.C. and Everton F.C.

Auckland, NewZealand.
Auckland is the largest and most populous urban area in the country with 1,377,200
residents, 31 percent of the country's population. Auckland is home to many cultures.
The majority of inhabitants claim European, Māori, Pacific Islander and Asian.
65
Auckland has the largest Polynesian population of any city in the world and a higher
proportion of people of Asian origin than the rest of New Zealand. Ethnic groups
from all corners of the world have a presence in Auckland, making it by far the
country's most cosmopolitan city.
Auckland has a warm-temperate climate, with warm, humid summers and mild, damp
winters. Climatic conditions vary in different parts of the city owing to geography
such as hills, land cover and distance from the sea. Snowfall in Auckland is
extremely rare.
Positive aspects of Auckland life are its mild climate, plentiful employment and
educational opportunities, as well as numerous leisure facilities. Meanwhile, traffic
problems, the lack of good public transport, and increasing housing costs have been
cited by many Aucklanders as among the strongest negative factors of living there,
together with crime.

SOCIAL WORK AND CARE
Social work and social care as a professional activity are indeed hard to define.
The area is diverse, changeable and highly controversial. Social work is scattered
across different sites, working with different sorts of people. The problem of
description is one of social work's defining characteristics, for it is "in an essentially
contested and ambiguous position". Social work has always been the subject of
argument and debate concerning its purpose in society; it is ambiguous, for itoperates
between "individual initiative and the all encompassing state".
Social work has to balance the rights of individual service users with its
67
statutory responsibilities and with the requirement to challenge unjust policies as they
effect users. Any definition of social work and social care has to recognize that its
power to operate is circumscribed by law. Government outlines how social workers
should respond to certain groups of individuals. Legislation can, for example, place a
duty upon social services departments to act to prevent child abuse, while giving
them considerable discretion with regard to family support. In assessing whether
children are at risk, the law requires social workers to use their professional
judgement in deciding whether to intervene in a situation. Social workers have been
heavily criticized, particularly by the media and some politicians, for intervening both
too quickly and not quickly enough.
In operating on behalf of the state, social workers are involved in
a balancing act; they are required to represent the state to users of services with
whom they work, while advocating on behalf of individuals back to the state. In the
UK (unlike other countries, such as Germany), social workers are required to carry
out statutory and protective roles, while at the same time promoting social justice. In
Germany this contradiction is resolved by employing both social workers (with a
protective role) and social pedagogues (with an enabling community role). Both roles
are seen as valid. Qualification on the one hand does not preclude entry to the other,
whereas in the UK social workers and community workers are trained separately.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Domestic violence (also known as domestic abuse or spousal abuse) occurs
when a family member, partner or ex-partner attempts to physically or
psychologically dominate another. Domestic violence often refers to violence
between spouses, or spousal abuse but can also include cohabitants and non-married
intimate partners. Domestic violence occurs in all cultures; people of all races,
ethnicities, religions, sexes and classes can be perpetrators of domestic violence.
Domestic violence is perpetrated by both men and women.
Domestic violence has many forms, including physical violence, sexual abuse,
emotional abuse, intimidation, economic deprivation, and threats of violence.
Violence can be criminal and includes physical assault (hitting, pushing, shoving,
etc.), sexual abuse (unwanted or forced sexual activity), and stalking. Although
emotional, psychological and financial abuses are not criminal behaviours, they are
forms of abuse and can lead to criminal violence.
Recent attention to domestic violence began in the women's movement,
particularly feminism and women's rights, in the 1970s, as concern about wives being
beaten by their husbands gained attention. Awareness and documentation of domestic
violence differs from country to country. Estimates are that only about a third of
cases of domestic violence are actually reported in the United States and the United
Kingdom. According to the Centers for Disease Control, domestic violence is a
serious, preventable public health problem affecting more than 32 million Americans,
or more than 10% of the U.S. population.

SOCIAL POLICY
Social policy studies not merely the organization and delivery of state welfare
services, but is concerned with how well-being can be developed in society at large.
Well-being can be achieved through the satisfaction of individuals' socially defined
needs. Although adequacy of food, shelter and clothing may seem to be an
unambiguous measure of need, these needs are expressed differently by people from
different cultures and societies. If we take into account people's psychological and
emotional development, the issue becomes more complex and presents social policy
with new challenges. If, for example, parents can not leave their children to play
safely in the street for fear of a car accident or abduction, then their sense of wellbeing is affected. These questions require us to be clear at what level and to what
extent the welfare state can and should satisfy need.
At one level we can take a more inclusive view and include differences of
culture, taste and the so-called higher emotional and psychological needs. Or we can
use a restrictive approach, which keeps the satisfaction of needs at a basic level,
usually focusing on food, shelter and clothing. These questions move beyond the
academic when we consider how far the state should satisfy the needs of specific
individuals. How much, for example, should the state allocate as social security
benefits to meet the needs of those unable to maintain themselves? Should the present
basic level of income support be increased to meet the wider social and psychological
needs of claimants? How much recognition of different needs between claimants
should there be? Should the extra costs incurred in being a single parent / carer or a
person with a physical disability be taken into account? Does not allowing for these
extra costs in the benefit paid to these groups greatly reduce their ability to participate
fully in society?
Unlike other disciplines, therefore, social policy does not content itself only with
academic considerations; it aims to improve social conditions.

Religion. Basic Notions.
Religion —sometimes used interchangeably with faith or belief system—is
commonly defined as beliefconcerning the supernatural, sacred, or divine, and the
moral codes, practices, values, institutions and rituals associated with such belief. In
its broadest sense some have defined it as the sum total of answers given to explain
humankind's relationship with the universe. In the course of the development of
religion, it has taken many forms in various cultures and individuals. Occasionally,
the word "religion" is used to designate what should be more properly described as
"organized religion" – that is, an organization of people supporting the exercise of
some religion, often taking the form of a legal entity. There are many different
religions in the world today.
Religion and science
According to the religious, knowledge can be gained from a religious leader, a
sacred text, or personal revelation. It is not limited in scope and can try to answer any
question. Some religious people maintain that knowledge obtained in this way is
absolute and infallible (religious cosmology). Religious knowledge tends to vary
from religion to religion, from sect to sect, and from individual to individual.
In contrast, the scientific method gains knowledge by interaction with the world,
and can only answer cosmological questions about the physical universe. It tries to
give theories of the world which best fit the observed evidence. All scientific
knowledge is tentative, and subject to later improvement or revision in the face of
better evidence. It should be noted that science can not only describe the world
physically, but can also state facts that aren't physical, e.g. facts of economics,
linguistics or much of psychology.
Many early scientists held strong religious beliefs and strove to reconcile science
and religion. Isaac Newton, for example, believed that gravity caused the planets to
revolve about the sun, but also said that angels may have to give the planets a push
77
from time to time to keep them going. Sometimes, however, conflicts arose between
science and religion. The Roman Catholic Church, for example, has reserved to itself
the right to decide which scientific discoveries are acceptable and which are
unacceptable. Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake for unacceptable scientific
theories, while Galileo was tried and forced to recant the theory that the earth goes
around the sun. The modern Roman Catholic Church accepts most current scientific
theories, but still reserves the right to make the final judgment.
Here are a few of the areas in which science and the organized Church have come
into conflict from time to time.
 Is the earth flat or round?
 Does the earth move or does the sun move around the earth?
 Is the earth a few thousand years old or more than a billion years old?
 Was there a flood that covered all the earth?
 Did the various species evolve or were they individually created by God?
 Did the universe have a beginning or is it infinite?
 Is the speed of light constant and is Einstein's Theory of Relativity correct?
 Does radioactive decay occur at a predictable rate?
Myth
The word "myth" has two main meanings:
 a usually traditional story of ostensibly historical events that serves to unfold part
of the world view of a people or explain a practice, belief, or natural phenomenon
 a person or thing having only an imaginary or unverifiable existence
Ancient polytheistic religions, such as those of Greece, Rome, and Scandinavia,
are categorized under the heading of mythology. Religions of pre-industrial peoples,
or cultures in development, are similarly called myths in the anthropology of religion.
Mythology can be a term used pejoratively by both religious and non-religious
people. By defining another person's religious stories and beliefs as mythology, one
implies that they are less real than one's own religious stories and beliefs.
The term "myth" in sociology, however, has a non-pejorative meaning. There
"myth" is defined as stories that are important for the group and not necessarily
untrue. Examples include the death and resurrection of Jesus, which, to Christians,
explains the means by which they are freed from sin, as well as being ostensibly a
historical event.

Religion
According to the religious, knowledge can be gained from a religious leader, a
sacred text, or personal revelation. It is not limited in scope and can try to answer any
question. Some religious people maintain that knowledge obtained in this way is
absolute and infallible (religious cosmology). Religious knowledge tends to vary
from religion to religion, from sect to sect, and from individual to individual.
Spirituality
Members of an organized religion may not see any significant difference between
religion and spirituality. Or they may see a distinction between the mundane, earthly
aspects of their religion and its spiritual dimension.
Some individuals draw a strong distinction between religion and spirituality. They
may see spirituality as a belief in ideas of religious significance (such as God, the
Soul, or Heaven), but not feel bound to the bureaucratic structure and creeds of a
particular organized religion. They choose the term spirituality rather than religion to
81
describe their form of belief, perhaps reflecting a disillusionment with organized
religion, and a movement towards a more "modern" — more tolerant, and more
intuitive — form of religion. These individuals may reject organized religion because
of historical acts by religious organizations, such as Islamic terrorism or the Spanish
Inquisition.
Is there any significant difference between religion and spirituality? If yes,
what is it?
3. Read and translate the text.
Buddhism
Another difficult world view for the Western mind to grasp is Buddhism. This is
in part because its followers believe that one must abandon views generated by the
use of ordinary language and concepts. This notion finds expression in the statement
"Beware of the illusions created by words." Buddhists believe that there is a supreme
and wonderful truth that words cannot reach or teach. This truth is transmitted outside
of ritual and outside of scripture. The basic assumption behind this world view is that
life is suffering. Decay of the body, illness, death, hating what we do or despising
what we cannot have' separation from what we love, and not being able to obtain
what we desire are all examples of suffering.
Buddha was not a God but a man, an extraordinary man who, sometime in the
sixth century B.C. in India, achieved enlightenment. Once awakened, he devoted his
life to helping others achieve enlightenment or Nirvana, the state of spiritual and
physical purity, necessary to attain freedom from the ongoing cycle of suffering and
rebirth. Modern Buddhism directs itself to purification of life and consciousness, not
to worship of a God figure.
Karma is important in that it sets the tone for ethical standards. Karma has to do
with action-reaction and with the law of cause and effect: good deeds bring good
results; evil deeds bring evil results. Nirvana is an ethical state marked by an absence
of the desires that bring suffering.
One thing we should recognize from our brief look at different religious world
views is that the answers to the significant questions in life have a certain effect on
people's everyday lives. Knowing a person's religious world view helps us know the
person.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND HOMELESSNESS
When a woman leaves an abusive relationship, she often has nowhere to go.
This is particularly true of women with few resources. Lack of affordable housing
and long waiting lists for assisted housing mean that many women and their children
are forced to choose between abuse at home or the streets. Moreover, shelters are
frequently filled to capacity and must turn away battered women and their children.
Many studies demonstrate the contribution of domestic violence to
homelessness, particularly among families with children. A 1990 Ford Foundation
study found that 50% of homeless women and children were fleeing abuse. More
recently, in a study of 777 homeless parents (the majority of whom were mothers) in
ten U.S. cities, 22% said they had left their last place ofresidence because of domestic
violence (Homes for the Homeless, 1998). In addition, 46% of cities surveyed by the
U.S. Conference of Mayors identified domestic violence as a primary cause of
homelessness (U.S. Conference of Mayors, 1998). State and local studies also
demonstrate the impactof domestic violence on homelessness.
85
Shelters provide immediate safety to battered women and their children and help
women gain control over their lives. The provision of safe emergency shelter is thus a
necessary first step in meeting the needs of women fleeing domestic violence.
A sizable portion of the welfare population experiences domestic violence at any
given time; thus, without significant housing support, many welfare recipients are at
risk of homelessness or continued violence. In the absence of cash assistance, women
who experience domestic violence may be at increased risk of homelessness or
compelled to live with a former or current abuser in order to prevent homelessness.
Welfare programs must make every effort to assist victims of domestic violence and
to recognise the tremendous barrier to employment that domestic violence presents.
Long term efforts to address homelessness must include increasing the supply of
affordable housing, ensuring adequate wages and income supports, and providing
necessary supportive services.

MEDICAL SOCIAL WORK
Medical Social Work is a sub-discipline of social work. Medical social workers
typically work in a hospital, skilled nursing facility or hospice, have
a graduate degree in the field (Masters degree in social work), and work with patients
and their families in need of psychosocial help. Medical social workers assess the
87
psychosocial functioning of patients and families and intervene as necessary.
Interventions may include connecting patients and families to necessary resources and
supports in the community; providing psychotherapy, supportive counseling, or grief
counseling; or helping a patient to expand and strengthen their network of social
supports. Medical social workers typically work on an interdisciplinary team with
professionals of other disciplines (such as medicine, nursing, physical, occupational,
speech and recreational therapy, etc.).
The medical social worker has a critical role in the area of discharge planning.
Discharge is a term that means that the patient no longer requires hospitalization. It is
the medical social worker's responsibility to ensure that the services the patient
requires are in place in order to facilitate a timely discharge and prevent delays in
discharge that can cost the hospital thousands of dollars per day. For example, the
medical doctor may inform the medical social worker that a patient will soon be
cleared for discharge and will need home care services. It is the medical social
worker's job to then arrange for the home care service to be in place so that the
patient can be discharged. If the medical social worker fails to arrange for the home
care service, the patient may not leave the hospital resulting in a delay in discharge.
In such situations the treating physician is ultimately held responsible for the delay.
Nevertheless the medical social worker often bears the brunt of the blame for the
delay in discharge and his or her failure to perform often attracts the attention of
management. As medical social workers often have large caseloads and have to meet
tight deadlines to arrange for necessary services, medical social work is a highly
demanding job and as a result the turnover rate is high.
In addition, medical social worker often deals with highly complex cases
involving patients with multiple psychosocial issues, all of which requiring
intervention and leading to delays in discharge. For instance, in a major urban acute
care medical centre, it is not uncommon for the medical social worker to assess
patients who are simultaneously homeless, without health insurance coverage, have
multiple chronic medical and psychiatric conditions, are unemployed, have just been
released from incarceration, and have substance abuse problems, all of which,
separately and together, can impede timely discharge.

PARALYMPIC GAMES
The Paralympic Games are a multi-sport event for athletes with physical and
sensorial disabilities. This includes athletes with mobility disabilities, amputations,
blindness, and cerebral palsy. The Paralympic Games are held every four years,
following the Olympic Games, and are governed by the International Paralympic
Committee (IPC). The Paralympic Games are sometimes confused with the Special
Olympics World Games, which are only for people with intellectual disabilities, but
Special Olympics participants may still take part in the Paralympic games. Although
the name was originally coined as a portmanteau combining "paraplegic" (due to its
origins as games for people with spinal injuries) and "Olympic", the inclusion of
other disability groups meant that this was no longer considered appropriate. The
present formal explanation for the name is derived from the Greek preposition pará
("beside" or "alongside") and thus refers to a competition held in parallel with the
Olympic Games. The Paralympic Games are elite sport events for athletes from
different disability groups. They are designed to emphasize the participants' athletic
90
achievements, not their disability.
The Paralympic Games take place in the same year as the Olympic Games.
However, it is only since 1988 that the Games have been held in the same city, using
the same venues. In 2001 the IOC and IPC signed an agreement which guaranteed
that Host Cities would be contracted to manage both Olympic Games and Paralympic
Games. Today, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) is the global governing
body of the Paralympic Movement; it organises the Summer and Winter Paralympic
Games; and also serves as the International Federation for 12 sports, for which it
supervises and coordinates the World Championships and other competitions.
Summer Paralympic Games programme includes archery, athletics (track and
field), cycling, horse-riding, football, judo, powerlifting, rowing, sailing, shooting,
swimming, table tennis, volleyball (sitting), wheelchair basketball, wheelchair
fencing, wheelchair rugby, wheelchair tennis. The following sports are on the current

The first immigrants who came to New England in the 1600s left their own
countries for religious reasons. They had religious beliefs different from the
accepted beliefs of their country; they wanted to live in a place where they could be
free to have their own beliefs. When they came to establish new communities in the
New World, they decided that there would be no official religion. When this new
country gained its independence from Britain in 1776, the separation of church and
state was one of the basic laws for the United States. This absence of an official
national religion and the resultant freedom to believe in whatever one wants has
attracted many new immigrants. In the United States, there are examples of every
kind of world religion—Buddhist, Islamic, Baha'i, to name only a few. Many
religions also began in the United States such as the Pentecostals, Mormons and Christian
Science religions. But most of the people in the United States fall into one of two
categories—Christian or Jewish.
The majority of people in the United States were raised as Christians. Quite
simply, Christian means believing in Christ, or Jesus. Christians celebrate Christmas,
the birth of Christ, and Easter, the time at which Christians remember Jesus's death
and celebrate His rebirth. They think of Sunday as a holy day and worship in
churches. In the United States, Christianity can be divided into two major groups:
Roman Catholicism and Protestantism. A third group, Orthodoxy, is not as
common in the United States.
As its name suggests, the Roman
Catholic church is based in Rome. It is
centered around the authority of one man,
the Pope, who is the head of the Roman
Catholic church throughout the world. There
is a hierarchy of authority and responsibility
beginning with the Pope in Rome and ending
with the priests who are the heads of the
churches in individual neighborhoods and
communities.
As its name suggests, the Protestant church began as a protest against another
church: the Roman Catholic church. Protestant is a very general term; it includes
many different church
groups, such as Episcopalian, Presbyterian, Lutheran,
94
Methodist, Baptist, and many more. The majority of people in the United States have
Protestant backgrounds. However, since there are so many Protestant churches, each
with its own traditions, people who are Protestants do not really share similar
religious experiences. As opposed to the Roman Catholic church in which there is a
lot of central control, Protestant churches are generally more autonomous, with more
control and authority on a local level.
Jews and Christians share many of the same basic principles and beliefs. They
both believe in the existence of one God. But whereas Christians believe in Christ, a
representation of God on earth, Jews do not believe that God has come to earth in any
form. Jewish people celebrate a weekly holy day from Friday evening to Saturday
evening and worship in synagogues. The head of a synagogue is called a rabbi. Many
Jewish people came to the United States in the first half of the twentieth century
because of religious intolerance in their own countries.
Although freedom of religion is an important concept in the United States,
religious intolerance sometimes occurs. Because the majority of early Americans
were Protestant, there has sometimes been discrimination against new immigrants,
such as the Irish and Italians, who were Roman Catholic. Protestants were reluctant to
share their traditional power with members of other churches or religions. The year
1960 marked a breakthrough in the religious tolerance of the country when John F.
Kennedy, a Roman Catholic, became the first non-Protestant President of the United
States.
The second half of the twentieth century has seen a decline in the strength of
traditional religion in the United States. It is probably to be expected that in a society
that accepts so many different religions, religion would be de-emphasized.
Intermarriage is now common and fewer people think about traditional religious
beliefs.

The Sacrament of Matrimony
The book of Genesis contains the story of the first matrimony sanctified by our
Lord in Paradise.
Having created the first man - Adam, Our Lord revealed to him the essence of
his life and. behaviour in Paradise. From then on, Adam was to dress and keep the
Garden of Eden. Then the Lord said: "It is not good that the man should be alone"
(Gen. 2, 18) and made another human being like him - a woman. And the rib, which
the Lord had taken from man, made He a woman and brought her unto the man. And
Adam said: "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called
Woman, because she was taken out of Man (Gen. 2, 22-24).
Thus, by bringing Eve unto Adam God acted as the friend of the bridegroom,
blessing their conjugal union. Adam, on his part, readily accepted Eve.
Then God said to them: "Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the Earth"
(Gen. 1-28). This blessed union of the husband and wife into one being and one life
was the mystery of marriage. "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother,
and cleave unto his wife; and they shall be one flesh" (Gen. 2, 24). The verb "cleave"
used in the scriptures conveys the idea of the closest union of their physical and
spiritual interests. God doesn't allow people to interfere with this union. Christ taught:
"What therefore God hath joined, let not man put asunder" (Mk. 10, 9).
By performing the rite of matrimony the Church elevates the conjugal union to
the level of a sacrament. It is regarded as a spiritual mystery which can be compared
to the mysterious union between Jesus Christ and His church. According to the New
Testament in the last days Christ will, come as the bridegroom and the church will
present itself to Him as a chaste virgin.
In a Christian marriage the husband takes upon himself the cross of the family
life, expecting his wife to share his burden by becoming his assistant and friend. The
wife responds to her husband by a sincere devotion prompted by her heart and mind.
Let us now turn to the New Testament and see what it says about matrimony.
1. WIVES AND HUSBANDS
"'Let the wives be subject to their own husbands as to the Lord, because the
husband is the head of the wife... Husbands, love your wives... Husbands ought to
love their wives... even as their own bodies. The one, who loves his wife, loves
himself, for no one ever hated his own flesh, but he nourishes and cares for it..:.. .
Let each of you love his own wife as he loves himself, and let the wife see that
she respects her husband". (Eph. 5, 21-33)
"Put on, therefore... tender affection, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience.
99
And above all these things put on love, which is the bond that unites
everything in complete harmony... Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts...
Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is proper in the Lord.
Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter with them". (Col. 3: 12, 14, 18)
2. ABOUT MARRIAGE
"Let each man have his own wife and let each woman have her own husband.
Let the husband give to his wife what is due, and likewise also the wife to the
husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband; and
likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife. Do not
deprive each other, except for a time by mutual consent., that you may have leisure
for prayer, and then be together again, that Satan might not tempt you because of
your lack of self-control...To the married I give charge (not I, but the Lord) that the
wife not be separated from her husband and that the husband not leave his wife'' (I
Cor. 7)
3. HONOUR GOD IN YOUR BODY
"Marriage is honourable in all and the bed is unstained, but God will judge
fornicators and adulterers" (Heb. 13, 4)
"All things are lawful to me, but not all things are helpful. All things are lawful
to me, but I will not be made subject to any... The body is not for fornication, but for
the Lord... Do you not know that one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body?
"For," He said, "the two shall be one flesh". Run away from fornication. Every
sin a man commits is outside his body, but he who fornicates, sins against his own
body. Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you,
whom you have from God, and you are not your own? You were bought with a price,
therefore, honour God in your body". (I Cor. 6)
Whoever divorces his wife and marries commits adultery against her, and if
she divorces her husband and marries another she commits adultery (Mark 10, 1112).

FOSTER CARE
Foster care is a system by which a certified, stand-in parent (or parents) cares for
minor children or young peoples who have been removed from their birth parents or
other custodial adults by state authority. Responsibility for the young person is
assumed by the relevant governmental authority. Requirements to be a foster parent
vary by jurisdiction, as foster families may receive monetary reimbursement and
other
benefits.
Foster
care
is
intended
to
be
a temporary living situation for children and young people. The goal of foster care is
to provide support and care for the young person in order that either reunification
with parent(s) or other family members or another suitable living arrangement can be
facilitated. This may include an adoptive home, guardianship, or placement with a
relative. At times, the bond that develops during foster care will lead to the foster
parents adopting the child. In some instances, children may be placed in a long-term
foster placement. For older adolescents, a foster care program may offer education
and resources to prepare for a transition to independent living. That is not to say that
older adolescents would not benefit from family placement, however, it is more
difficult to recruit foster and adoptive parents for teens due to the stigma that is often
attached to adolescents in foster care.
In the United States, foster home licensing requirements vary from state to state
but are generally overseen by each state's Department of Social Services or Human
Services. In some states, counties have this responsibility. Each state's services are
monitored by the federal Department of Health and Human Services. Children found
to be unable to function in a foster home may be placed in Residential Treatment
Centres (RTCs) or other such group homes. In theory, the focus of treatment in such
facilities is to prepare the child for a return to a foster home, to an adoptive home, or
to the birth parents when applicable. But two major reviews of the scholarly literature
have questioned these facilities' effectiveness.

never regretted coming into this type of work. It can be demanding. The residents are
old people with dementia and other mental illness, so you have to be alert, but there's
a good atmosphere in the home. I'm the key worker with two residents, helping them
104
through each day. There's plenty of banter, especially in the mornings. The important
thing is to ensure residents have as much dignity as possible. I came into social care
work with no special qualifications, having learnt about the job vacancies through
family contacts and had to have a range of training connected with various aspects of
social work.

GENTRIFICATION
Gentrification refers to the physical, social, economic, and cultural phenomenon
whereby working-class and/or inner-city neighbourhoods are converted into more
affluent middle-class communities, as by remodelling buildings, resulting in
increased property values and in the displacement of the poor. Gentrification is a
complex term that is difficult to define; it is a process that has inherent class
connotations and is an extremely visible process thatplays a key role in the physical
and social form of contemporary cities. Gentrification is intertwined with change; as
the community's buildings undergo renovation and beautification, rents increase
resulting in a displacement of old residents that are replaced by more affluent ones.
105
Sociologist Ruth Glass coined the term in 1964, which she defined using
London districts such as Islington as her example:
One by one, many of the working class quarters of London have been invaded by
the middle-class – upper and lower. Shabby, modest mews and cottages – two rooms
up and two down – have been taken over, when their leases have expired, and have
become elegant, expensive residents [...]. Once this process of "gentrification" starts
in a district it goes on rapidly until all or most of the original working class
occupiers are displaced and the whole social character of the district is changed.
Gentrification can be a politically contentious issue. Gentrification highlights the
instability of renting, whereby people might be forced to move away from newly
desirable areas because the rent has now gone higher. Usually this conflict is limited
to the local level and therefore many who live outside urban areas may not be aware
of it. In response to gentrification pressure, cities in which there are more renters than
owners often pass rent control ordinances.

NURSING HOMES
A nursing home, skilled nursing facility (SNF), or skilled nursing unit (SNU),
also known as a rest home, is a type of care of residents: it is a place of residence for
people who require constant nursing care and have significant deficiencies with
activities of daily living. Nursing homes are subject to federal regulations and also
strict state regulations. Nursing home residents have physical or cognitive
impairments and require 24-hour care. Residents include the elderly and younger
adults with physical disabilities. Adults 18 or older can stay in a skilled nursing
facility to receive physical, occupational, and other rehabilitative therapies following
an accident or illness.
Services provided in nursing homes include services of nurses, nursing aides and
assistants; physical, occupational and speech therapists; social workers and
recreational assistants; and room and board. Most care in nursing facilities is
provided by certified nursing assistants, not by skilled personnel. Medicare covers
nursing home services for beneficiaries who require skilled nursing care or
rehabilitation services following a hospitalization of at least three consecutive days.
The program does not cover nursing care if only custodial care is needed – for
example, when a person needs assistance with bathing, walking, or transferring from
a bed to a chair. To be eligible for Medicare-covered skilled nursing facility (SNF)
care, a physician must certify that the beneficiary needs daily skilled nursing care or
other skilled rehabilitation services that are related to the hospitalization, and that
these services, as a practical matter, can be provided only on an inpatient basis. For
example, a beneficiary released from the hospital after a stroke and in need of
physical therapy, or a beneficiary in need of skilled nursing care for wound treatment
following a surgical procedure, might be eligible for Medicare-covered SNF care.
Nursing homes are beginning to change the way they are managed and
organized to create a more resident-centered environment, so they are more "homelike" and less "hospital-like". In these homes, nursing home units are replaced with a
small set of rooms surrounding a common kitchen and living room. The staff giving
care is assigned to one of these "households". Residents have far more choices about
when they awake, when they eat and what they want to do during the day. They also
have access to more companionship such as pets.

Sins and Struggle with Them
One must be very careful about .what is happening to him spiritually, because
we are constantly tempted by Satan. "The whole world lies under a sway of the
wicked one" (I John 5:19). You can easily recognize his work: pride, despondency,
envy, hatred are from him. It's only with Christ's help that you can stand against his
evil work in your life. "Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4T).
110
Of all sins there are some that are called "deadly sins" and are especially
ruinous for one's soul. They are:
1. PRIDE
(гордыня, тщеславие)
2. COVETOUSNESS
(сребролюбие, корыстолюбие)
3. LUST
(вожделение,
похоти
житейские,
жажда власти, удовольствий и т.п.,
нечистые помыслы)
4. ENVY
(зависть)
5. GLUTTONY
(чревоугодие, пьянство)
6. ANGER
(гнев, ярость, раздражительность)
7. SLOTH
(лень, тунеядство, праздность)
Some saints believe that two more sins must be added to this list:
DESPONDENCY (уныние) AND UNFORGIVENESS (злопамятность).
Other sins are: idle talk, filthy language, lies, slander, theft, bribery, flattery,
sponging, hatred, murder, robbery, magic (sorcery and witchcraft), adultery,
fornication, violation, homosexual intercourse, incest, idolatry, heresies,
unmercifulness and cruelty. All of them are originated from the seven deadly sins.
PRIDE is Satan's sin, the greatest sin in the eyes of God. "God resists the
proud but gives His grace to the humble" (James 4:6).
Our human reason is not wise before God. The New Testament has it: "Let no
one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him
become a fool that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness
with God". It is written: "He catches the wise in their own craftiness", and again:
"The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile. Therefore let no one
boast in men". (I Cor. 3:18-21). God says: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and
bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent" (I Cor. 1:19).
So, if you are proud, "presumptuous and self-willed", you'll be judged by God"
(2 Peter 2:9, 10).
Moreover, you depend on God for success in your life, in your work etc., as
Christ says, "I am the vine, and you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in
him, bears much fruit: for without Me you can do nothing" (John 15:5).
COVETQUSNESS "… The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil..." (I
Tim. 6:10). "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth where moth and rust
destroy and where thieves break in and steal. But lay for yourselves treasures in
111
heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and
steal' (Matt. 6; 19-20). Covetous people are going "the way of Cain', they "run
greedily for profit" and "perish" (Jude 1:11).
"We have brought nothing into this world, and it is certain, we can carry
nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. But those
who desire to be rich fall into temptation... and into many foolish and harmful lusts,
which drown men in destruction and perdition" (I Tim. 6:7-9).
So, you can see that being content with what you have is a great gain, which
helps you to depart from evil.
LUST One may have lust for power, money, beautiful things, persons of the
opposite sex, etc.
God condemns those "who walk according to the flesh, having eyes full of
adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls. They have a heart
trained in covetous practices and are accursed children..." They "despise authority...
they are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries... When they speak great swelling
words of emptiness, they allure" people and "while they promise them liberty they
themselves are slaves of corruption" (2Peter2; 10-19).
"Neither fornicators, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomities ... will
inherit the kingdom of God" (I Cor. 6:9, 10), as well as those who "reject the
authorities" in their lust for power. In the New Testament such sinners are compared
with "clouds without water, carried about by the winds; late autumn trees without
fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots, raging waves of the sea, foaming up their
own shame... for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever" (Jude 1:12,13).
"The World is passing away, and the lust of it" (I John 1:17), "therefore put to death
fornication, uncleanliness passion, evil desire and covetousness, which is idolatry,
because of these things the wrath of God is corning upon the sons of disobedience"
(Col. 3:5, 6).
ENVY If you have bitter envy in your heart, you can't be called wise. This
passion is not "from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. For where envy and selfseeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there" (James 3:14-16).
The root of envy is hatred and lies. For those who envy, hell begins on the
earth, because this passion dries up your heart, humiliates you and leads you to
destruction, urging you to do evil things to the person you envy. You'll feel
miserable, unless you try to overcome it. But how can one do it? Feofan the Recluse
says, "Hurry up and try to rouse friendliness for the man you envy and make yourself
112
do good things to him. Then, with God's help, your envy will quieten down,
otherwise you'll perish".
GLUTTONY The New Testament has it: "Eat whatever is sold in the market...
For the earth is the Lord's and all its fullness". (I Cor. 10:25,26). God gave us food
and blessed it. However, we should not "destroy the work of God for the sake of
food" (our body and soul), for it is said " Foods for the stomach and the stomach for
foods, but God will destroy both" (I Cor. 6:13). People who "feast without fear" (Jude
1:12) do an ungodly deed "All things indeed are pure but it is evil for the man who
eats with offense" (Rom. 14:20).
It is also said: "Use a little wine for your stomach's sake..." (I Tim. 5:23). Wine
was given us as a gift but we shouldn't dishonour ourselves by excessive use of it.
Saint John Zlatoust says: "Don't despise wine but despise drunkenness". Wine is
given us for joy, not for ruining our body and soul.
Gluttons and drunkards will not "inherit the kingdom of God" (I Cor. 6:10)
ANGER "A servant of the Lord must not quarrel... but be gentle to all... patient
(2 Tim. 2:24) ... avoid foolish and ignorant disputes (23).
"Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has
eternal life abiding in him" (I John 3:15). No other sin lays such an obstacle between
you and God as anger" (St. John Lestvichnik), but "the wisdom that is from above
is...peaceful» gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy..." (James 3:17)
Apostle Peter once came to Christ and asked: "Lord, how often shall my
brother sin against me and I forgive him? Up to seven times? Jesus said to him, "I do
not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven". (Matt. 18:21, 22).
Try hard to control your tongue, for "the tongue is a little member and boasts great
things ... the tongue is a fire ... and it is set on fire by hell .... No man can tame the
tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our God and our
Father, and with it we curse men who have been made in the similitude of God. Out
of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not
to be so" (James, 3:5-10). So, "put off anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy
language out of your mouth" (Col. 3:8).
SLOTH Any kind of sloth is loathsome to God: "If anyone will not work,
neither shall he eat" (2 Thes, 3:10). A lot of sins are forgiven to you if you take pains
to do your work properly. God promises a reward to those who work hard: "Come to
Me, all you, who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (2 Thes. 3:10).

Paganism
Before 990 A.D. Belarusians - a mix of several Eastern Slavic tribes (mostly
Kryvichi and their branches) and several Baltic tribes (Yatviangians, Litts, Latts) were pagans in their beliefs. As the Slavs have arrived from South to the lands of
today's Belarus they have encountered and absorbed the cultures and beliefs of Baltic
and other peoples inhabiting the land. There was already a rich Pagan heritage which
reveals today through ancient names. Neman (Nioman, Niamunas) - one of the main
rivers of the area is bearing the name of Celtic Goddess of War - Neman. Kupala - an
ancient Goddess of Water. One of the mysterious peoples completely assimilated by
us was Yatviangians. Ancient Belarusians believed in God of Sun - Yaryla,
celebrated seasons of nature very much similar to druidic calendar. The cycles of folk
songs that were sang at these celebrations still exist. The main pagan festivities are:
Spring Greeting - a plentitude of spring greeting songs -"Vesnavyyapesni" exists,
including "Yur'ya". Yur'ia is related to calling Yaryla (Yur'ya), the Sun-God, to
bring out the keys and open mothers Nature womb - to let out the grass, and flowers,
and animals
Kupalle (Solstice, June 21). Kupalle- is the most loved and cherished pagan
holiday in contemporary Belarus. It is a hedonistic summer celebration of fertility in
the name of a female God - Kupala. It seems like she is considered a lunar Goddess
117
by some pagan sources, although direct translation of the name is "She Who Bathes".
Lately it was renamed into a Christian celebration of a male saint - Ivan Kupala.
Kupalle usually involves youth going into the forests and the meadows, wearing
flower and grass garlands (see these modern pictures of Belarusian girls in wreaths on
Kupala night), dancing in karagods (circles around fires), jumping through fires,
competing in strength and a lot's of eroticism. For those interested, you can watch a
documentary "Night on Ivan Kupala" to learn more. Also here are some notes about
celebration of Kupalle by Ukrainians in Canada. See more on Kupalle in Belarusian
Holidays page.
Dzyady(October 31?) - I believe is celebrated twice a year in April and in late
October - it's a celebration of dead, bringing bread and drinks to their groves etc.
Unlike Halloween it's a light holiday of commemoration of dead. It does not involve
any satanic stuff.
Kaliady (a week before Christmas) - pre-Christian celebration of the end of year.
Later it was very nicely adopted for Christmas celebration by Orthodox and Catholic
churches. Still they have a problem to explain the meaning of spruce (evergreen eternal life returning) and people dressed as animals and fantastic beasts carrying the
sun and the goat's head in their hands.
