Traditionally in America, helping the poor was a matter for private charities or
local government. A r r i v i n g immigrants depended mainly on predecessors from
ttieir homeland to help them start a new lifẹ In the late 19"' and early 20"' centuries,
Several European nations instituted public - welfare programs. But such a Movement was slow to take hold in the United States because the rapid pace o f
•fidustrialization and the ready availability o f farmland seemed to confirm the
^ l i e f that anyone who was w i l l i n g to work could find a j o b .
Most o f the programs started during the Depression era were temporary reli(^>|
measures, but one oí the programs - Social Security - has become an Americâ
institution. Paid for by deductions from the paychecks o f w o r k i n g people, Social Security ensures that retired persons receive a modest monthly income and also provides unemployment insurance, disability insurance, and other assistance tg those who need it. Social Security payments to retired persons can start at age 62 but many wait until age 65, when the payments are slightly higher. Recently, there has been concern that the Social Security fund may not have enough money to fulfill its obligations in the 2 1 " century, when the population o f elderly Americans is expected to increase dramaticall). íolicy makers have proposed various ways to make up the anticipated deficit, but a long - term solution is still being debated.
In the years since Roosevelt, other American presidents have established assistance progrims. These include Medicaid and Medicare; food stamps, certificates that p xiple can use to purchase food; and public housing which is built at federal expense and made available to persons on low incomes.
Needy Americans can also turn to sources other than the government for help. A broad spectrum o f private charities and voluntary organizations is availablẹ Volunteerism is on the rise in the United States, especially among retired persons. It is estimated that almost 50 percent o f Americans over age 18 do volunteer work, and nearly 75 percent o f ỤS. households contribute money to charitỵ

iTiay suffer health problems from the use o f mobile phones. In England, there has
t,een a serious debate about this issuẹ Mobile phone companies are worried about
the negative publicity o f such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.
On the other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells o f goine people who use mobile phones. Signs o f change in the tissues o f the brain gild head can be detected w i t h modern scanning equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at young age because o f serious memory loss. He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name o f his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day o f his vvorking week, for a couple o f years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor didn't agreẹ
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is
idiation. High - tech machines can detect very small amounts o f radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.
As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it's best to use |}tiobile phones less often. Use your regular phone i f you want to talk for a long
iiiTiẹ Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be
ft'ery useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often.
