The term Social refers to a characteristic of living organisms (humans in particular, though biologists also apply the term to populations of other animals). It always refers to the interaction of organisms with other organisms and to their collective co-existence, irrespective of whether they are aware of it or not, and irrespective of whether the interaction is voluntary or involuntary.

How does Social Security work in terms of additional income?
Q. I know that you are allowed to make a certain amount of money and not get taxed. If you go above that amount you are taxed. If you are working full time will they stop your payments the following year? This is something that I heard, that you can start and stop Social Security. What happens if you win a large sum of money? Will they stop Social Security?

A. I don't think they will automatically stop social security for any reason, but your tax levels might make SSI benefits less beneficial. The payments you get will be dictated by: How much you paid in (they factor your best 35 years) and when you first started to collect. Currently you have options to collect starting at 62, 65 and 70. If you start at 62, you get substantially less, not a good option overall if you live past 75. Your best options may vary based on state, income, etc, and a social security agent will be able to give you a response unique to your finacial situation, work history, and health conditions.

where to volunteer for a social work major in college?
Q. I am interested in volunteering as it is a prereq in my program. However I want to volunteer somewhere specifically in social wok long term to gain work experiance before I finish my degree. I'm specifically interested in medical social work or social work involved with children.

A. Your best bet would be outside of the actual medical context (unless the hospital has opportunities to actually volunteer on a pediatric unit - most hospitals don't give volunteers much to do). Programs like Ronald McDonald House or other pediatric programs for youth dealing with long-term illness or even disability (there are often camps and related programs). Youth programs in general are great to volunteer with (Big brother/sister - boys and girls clubs, etc.) Always need volunteers. DA
