What is your reaction to his thesis? Using this week’s readings, suggest at least two strengths-based, macro-level strategies for confronting the social, economic, and cultural injustices depicted in his essay. In your discussion post, cite specific principles from the Social Work Code of Ethics to support your position.After completing the activities this week, you should be able to:
Articulate how social work ethical principles and standards are employed to influence practice in the macro social environment.
Identify and relate the history, major assumptions, ideologies, and values of ecosystems theory to contemporary social work practice.
Reflect on the ways in which privileged narratives, ideologies, and socially-sanctioned biases (i.e. racism, sexism, homophobia, socioeconomic inequalities) have historically influenced clients’ well-being at the individual and community level.
Develop a context-informed strategy for incorporating an appreciation for human diversity; recognition of groups’ and communities’ strengths and resiliencies; and a commitment to confront systemic oppression into one’s identity as a social work professional.
