Assignment:
Jamal, an African American service member, faces discrimination when he's passed over for leadership positions in favor of less qualified white peers. This pattern of discrimination has led to feelings of frustration and disempowerment and negatively impacted his career progression.
- Describe the social work ethical principles and values that are pertinent to this case.
- Identify two intervention strategies that can be implemented to support the service member and explain why they could be beneficial.
- Describe how a social worker could be an advocate for underrepresented populations in the military. Consider the advocacy needs of female service members, service members from minority racial backgrounds, and LGBTQ+ service members.
- Explain how social work practice can promote a culture of understanding and inclusion in the military towards individuals with historically marginalized identities.
