Identity and future of social services

Abstract

In «Identity and Future  of the Social  Services» we start from the iden-tity gives it the useful values. Therefore  we are analysing of the Social  Services own  values  from  the '60 years until present.  Equally we compare the special values  with the values  of the joint  society.  The offered result  showed us notable coincidences in the course  of the 50 years. The final values  and  —to  a lesser extent— instrumental values, with which social  services  are linked  in the CCB (Christian community of assets)  Plan (1960), hardly  feature  at all in the Con- certed Plan: the Community Social  Services  Plan for the whole  of Spain agreed by the three administrations (1988). Eleven  years after the Concerted  Plan, new final  values began to appear,  while  others  were weakening because  of a lack of instrumental values  or benefits and  facilities. There is currently a clear change of orientation in Community Social  Services  due to the appearance of emerging values  which are underpinned by exchange values  and permanent values. In thesame  time,  these  values  denote  the double  composition of the materialist andthe post materialist values.
