The Con team was very persuasive because they presented more evidence as to why “Employment-at-Will” is not a good social policy. One strong point is that they gave credible data by going into the history of employment and the laws derived from it. They also presented how employment laws differ in other countries. We find that methodology to be excellent because they took extra steps to give the class the background information necessary to defend their position. The first argument they presented is that, Employment-at-Will does not promote job security. We find that to be strong because firing employees for bad cause or no reason at all, does not seem rational although most employers use “Employment-at-Will” laws as mean to fire employees…

Ehrenreich (2002) describes the complete lack of sympathy for her from a homeowner when she was scrubbing the floor of her home (p. 72). The working poor are often treated by others in a hostile manner because they are unable to identify with them. A social worker must play the role of an enabler to keep the worker going even after they get put down by other social classes. The social worker has to help their client gain the ability to cope with situations or stress.…

Throughout the course we learned about different fields of social work, the complications that come with the job, and the different people you will encounter. Thus, changing our thoughts and feelings towards social work. Before taking the class our thoughts about social workers were more or less simple minded. I say this because most of us thought social workers simply deal with children and some consider them “child snatchers”. After getting the opportunity to take the class, we learned there is more to social workers than we thought. Social workers work with different ages, races, religions, and genders. We also learned how social workers work with these different populations (Morales, Sheafor, & Scott, 2010). During class we discussed a…

Consequently, compassion brings an emotional toll on the human services professional, so another essential trait is the knowing of one’s limits and establishing these boundaries early in the association to prevent burnout which is a detriment among human services workers in all professions. “It makes sense that an emotionally weary individual would be less disposed to make the emotional investment required in dealing with clients as individuals rather than as depersonalized cases” (Drake & Yadama, 1996).…

While researching texts written about the twentieth century welfare, I found that several authors are against the whole idea behind it, because in its basic concept welfare mean spending resources on citizens that are less successful in life, and who cannot depend on themselves to survive financially. The problem is evident when the government does not have a good plan to spend these resources, the consequences of these actions affect the middle-class and the lower-class, creating a financial crisis in the country. Since the welfare state uses deficits, the consequence is the excess of expenditures over revenue. In other words, "Much of the American welfare state has been financed by deficits, that is, by increases…
Social Workers value the maximum feasible self – determination, empowerment, and enhancing strengths to increase the client’s voice in decision making. ‘The Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EAPS) affirm the commitment of social programs to the core values of the profession: service, social justice, dignity, and worth of the person, importance of human relationships, integrity, competence, human rights, and scientific inquiry’ (NASW, 2008 A; CSWE, 2008; as per Hepworth, Glenda and Kim, 2010). Social Workers demonstrate respect for and acceptance of the unique characteristics of ‘diverse populations that are characterized by great diversity, including the intersection of dimensions such as age, class, culture, disability, ethnicity, gender, identity and expression, immigration status, political ideology, race, religion, sex, and sexual orientation, religion, physical or mental ability, age, and national origin’ (CSWE, 2008; as per Hepworth, Glenda, and Kim,…
