Which movement is associated with the Settlement Movement and Hull House in Social Work Profession Development?

• A. Child Saving Movement (Orphan Trains)
• B. Charity Organization Society
• C. Settlement Movement (Hull House)
• D. Reform Movements of the Progressive Era

Answer: (D)

The key idea is recognizing Hull House as a hallmark of the Settlement Movement, a community-based reform approach in social work. Hull House, founded by Jane Addams, embodies the settlement model by setting up a residential center in a disadvantaged urban area that provides education, child care, health services, cultural programs, and opportunities for residents to participate in improving their own neighborhood. The settlement approach aims to address root causes of poverty through direct, ongoing engagement with communities, not just charity from afar. While the Progressive Era included many reforms, the specific link to Hull House and the broader movement to bring services into inner-city neighborhoods is best described by the Settlement Movement itself. The other options describe related strands—Child Saving focused on individual welfare of children, Charity Organization Society emphasized centralized charitable relief, and “Reform Movements of the Progressive Era” is a broad umbrella that doesn’t capture the distinctive settlement-house method.
