Question: Philosophy of Social Work
Complete a research presentation on one contemporary social issue (for example, hunger and food insecurity, poverty and economic security, education and employment security, family structure, parenting, racial tension, legalization of marijuana, technology and the Internet, injury and pain management, military veterans) that impacts the community or a specific segment of the population and that may be addressed within the scope of the social work profession.
Present your findings as a PowerPoint presentation using slides and the notes page features of PowerPoint. Your presentation will:
• Identify individual, group or family, or community social justice and social work practices related to the social issue you identified, noting how the dynamics and situations related to that issue cross over into multiple systems (individual, group or family, or community).
• Address the social definition of the social issue or condition that affects the social system or community and the people involved.
• Analyze, in the notes section, based on behavioral theories and approaches from your course readings or other academic literature: ?How social issues are defined.
? Why they are identified.
? How social workers engage with the interventions and management.
• Conclude with a summary that addresses the social work's role in helping individuals and promoting social justice and social change related to the social issue you identified, using research-based information to support the application of research to practice.
