Explanation:

1. Social welfare generally refers to the well - being of society as a whole, encompassing the support and resources provided to individuals and families to meet basic needs like food, shelter, healthcare, and education, aiming to improve quality of life and reduce poverty and inequality.
2. One new idea from research on contemporary social issues could be the role of technology in enhancing social welfare delivery, such as using digital platforms for more efficient distribution of aid or for providing tele - health services to underserved populations.
3. In the Health and Human Services field, knowing about current social welfare issues is important as it helps in understanding clients' or patients' broader life circumstances.
