Assignment: Self Identity

As a social worker, you are both an ally for your clients and an individual in need of allies in your work. For this assignment, prepare a written assessment that addresses the following elements:

1. Describe your self-identity as related to the factors of diversity as defined in social work education. "Factors of diversity are understood as the intersectionality of multiple factors including but not limited to age, class, color, culture, disability and ability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity and expression, immigration status, marital status, political ideology, race, religion/ spirituality, sex, sexual orientation, and tribal sovereign status" (CSWE, 2015).

2. Based on your understanding of privilege from the readings, explain two examples in which your self-identity has provided you with privileges.

3. Based on your understanding of oppression, explain two examples in which your self-identity has led to your oppression.

4. Consider which ally attributes- described in the week's reading- you have or are currently working to achieve. Identify and explain an example from social work practice to illustrate a challenge to acting as an ally in practice.

5. Based on the readings, address barriers in your life and practice to acting as an ally (e.g. fear, internalized racism or bigotry, lack of skill, courage, or institutional support). Recommend advocacy approaches to ensure human rights to overcome these barriers.
