Restructuring of welfare nation could be widely observed among advanced countries, particularly in U.K., U.S.A., and Japan. Privatization is a big contemporary trend and is strongly supported by anti-welfare nation ideology such as neo-conservatism. This paper attempts to analyze its implication and function and to evaluate its consequences. From a sociological functionalistic approach, it is concluded, however, that welfare nation is an inevitable choice for a modern society and that for Japan making of social care system is urgent necessity, which demands the concept of market as omnipotent to be thrown into discard.

The AIDS epidemic currently is one of the greatest concerns in social work as well as in public health in the United States. Although most AIDS patients presently are homosexual and bisexual men, the spread of AIDS to the heterosexual population is increasing rapidly through unsafe sexual activities and the sharing of needles by intraveneous drug users. In Japan, the majority of AIDS patients currently are hemophiliacs who contracted the disease through AIDS contaminated blood transfusions or contaminated blood products. However, there is a great potential for AIDS to spread throughout the general population through high risk behaviors such as unprotected sexual contact and shared drug needles. Therefore, it is urgent that social work practitioners make professional efforts to protect the general public from contracting AIDS by providing social services to AIDS patients and their families in Japan. In addition, delivering public education regarding AIDS issues is crucial in order to increase public awareness about AIDS prevention. This paper examines AIDS issues concerning the social work practice from social and cultural perspective in the United States. Examines are the definition of AIDS, social work practices for AIDS patients and their families, and AIDS education and prevention.
