Both the NASW and IFSAW code of ethics begin with a similar introduction that identifies the mission focus of the codes. The NASW Preamble focuses on enhancing the well-being and ensuring the basic needs of others are meet as well as empowering those who are vulnerable, compromised, or living in poverty (NASW, 2008). While the IFSAW Preface also focuses on promoting change through ethical awareness (IFSAW,2012). The introduction of the two codes differ in that the IFSAW code speaks directly to the social worker’s ability and commitment to ethics as it relates to the quality of services offered (IFSAW, 2012). While, this is more of an underlying theme in the NASW code of ethics.…
Critical Analysis Paper #1 Question #1: Social Work and Systems Theory Social Work as a concept and a career is simple, yet difficult to define. Social work has grown and developed from the seed that is envelops social issues in our society. As Robbins, Chatterjee, and Canda state in Contemporary Human Behavior Theory (2012), defined situations within society have dictated the need for social work and advocates to speak on behalf of those who are unable to speak for themselves. From the inception of its career, social work has been associated with helping those in need, whether that be at a micro-level with individual therapy and case management, or a macro level with policy development and large scale advocacy efforts.…
Globalization a modern day way to describe the process in which different cultures are able to interact and learn from one another, through different ideas, items and people. Coming together to reconnect humans with the rest of the world, globalization is closely looked at and studied by those who want a clearer understanding of what it takes for people to be able to reconnect with cultures different from there’s. Thomas Loren Friedman, three time Pulitzer Prize winner, and current writer for the New York Times foreign affairs column since 1995, is a famous journalist who took a closer look into Globalization.

According to Kirst-Ashman, the four global social work values are, “primary importance of the individual, respect and appreciation for differences, commitment to social justice and well-being of all in society, and willingness to persist despite frustration” (2011, pp. 450-452). These global social work values fit into my current understanding of the basic culture that exists within the field. Being able to understand that culture is different from one group of individuals to the next and that social workers must respect these differences enables these values to fit into the social work field. Kirst-Ashman states, “Some research indicates that the last three are generally held by social workers around the globe; however, the first is addressed…
The social work profession is to infuse change into the lives of individuals and into the community to reduce or eradicate the ill effects of personal distress and social inequality (Cox, Long, & Tice, 2016). Social workers are constantly working on brooding their horizons, by learning on the job or continuing education. Social work has seven values, some of which are grouped together, “dignity and worth of person, competence, importance of human relationships, integrity, human services, and social justice” (Code of Ethics, 2011). In the 2016 election Trump promised to deport all “illegals,” many to a country that they have never seen.…
In analyzing the video “Subtle Boundary Dilemmas: Ethical Decision Making for Helping Professionals” the video describes the ethical dilemmas professionals face due to boundary issues with clients. This often creates difficult situations as professionals try to maintain appropriate boundaries. The video clearly describes a professional’s role in setting and resetting boundaries to ensure our clients can focus on healing and getting the help the they need to embrace a quality life. It is the social worker’s job to ensure they are able to maintain and build trust and respect with the client, while ensuring clear boundaries are maintained. Boundary issues occur when social workers face conflicts of interest in dual relationships.…
My desire to pursue a master’s degree in social work was fueled by the outcome of my experiences of learning about domestic violence in my undergraduate course. It was also influenced by my active role different organizations where I was able to provide care for child victims of domestic violence. The desire of furthering my studies started way back when I was volunteering at a non-profit organization with an objective of becoming more familiar in working with children that were coming from a less advantaged families. Initially, the organization I was working for did not give me information about the children I was taking care of; they did not tell me that the children were victims of domestic violence. Upon entry, I observed all the children…

understand the reasoning behind a certain behavior or action my clients would have. Cognitive theory can be used in almost any setting if the person is willing to try it. The only time I could see how cognitive theory might not be the most effective approach would be if a person has a strong belief or value that prevents them from acknowledging their cognition as the cause of their actions. Additionally, cognitive theory can be used in the general population because it can be applied to all individuals in every socioeconomic status.…
Ethical Issues When Social Workers Specialize in Addictions Social workers that specialize in addictions can face many ethical issues while trying to help their client achieve sobriety. A social worker needs to focus on human relations, trust building, allowing the client to make independent decisions, and to show an acceptance and respect for the client regardless of the situation. One ethical issue is if a woman is seeking help for substance abuse and she discloses that she is pregnant.…

(J.Campbell, 1) In an age of information overflowing it could be difficult to connect and adapt to all the new things, therefore in order for individuals to understand and interact with this interconnected world, they must embrace global perspective and viewpoints for their own sake and for the humanities sake. (J.Campbell, 1) Some believe that globalization is intrinsically “good”, others believe it is inherently “bad”, and still others assert that while it is intrinsically neither good nor bad, it can have both positive and negative effects. (J.Campbell, 4) Some view globalization as the new phenomenon driven by technologies such as satellites, cell phones and internet while others see it as an extension of ongoing processes that encompass all of human history. (J, Campbell, 5)…
Throughout history, almost every aspect of human culture has evolved. Religions have shifted and split into different forms of belief, entire systems of government have changed and new codes of ethic have deliberately been adopted. We can look at the history of the world to see that most changes have not been meaningless but a natural component of progress. In the present, globalization is often justified by its importance in the global economy. Jeffrey A. Frankel, a professor at Harvard says that the benefits of globalization “come from a number of sources” such as “greater market size … enhanced competition [and] … technological improvements through increased contact with foreigners.”…
