Because of this, social justice is achieved through the servitude of people deemed as vulnerable, and oppressed, along with living in poverty (Jacobson, 2001). We also understand its pivotal role in the service it delivers to those in need by a way of the social policy arena devising and advocating to address the wide range of social problems in order to bring about change (Jacobson, 2001). Ironically, social policy efforts that are recent is aimed at the establishment or the protection of social workers roles, verses promoting transformations in the delivery of human services (Jacobson, 2001). It is also suggest more often in today’s society, social work students are more readily trained as clinical practitioners than advocates of change (Jacobson, 2001).

Working with seniors in the case of abuse is challenging and demanding, and social workers need to use an anti-oppressive approach in order to address the issue and meet seniors’ needs. Additionally, social workers need to have a deep knowledge about risk factors, symptoms of neglect and elder abuse, in order to address the consequences and prevent them from reoccurrence (Donovan & Regehr, 2010). Elder abuse is a result of oppression based on age, which means that structural anti-oppression intervention surrounding aging is required in order to “confront and change social institutions, policies, laws, and economic and political systems that operate in a way that benefit the dominant group at the expense of subordinate groups” (Mullaly, 2007,…

In the field of human services, having a nonjudgmental mindset is crucial to carrying out your job efficiently. In order to work with clients from all different backgrounds, it is necessary to know how to adjust your method to each individual. On my journey to becoming a human services professional, I have dealt with my own prejudices like never before. There are so many things that we say or unconsciously think on a daily basis that projects a great deal of prejudices without knowing it. The baseline and the hidden bias tests were eye-openers for me.…

The discriminatory encroachment, an absence of political representation of Chechnya, moral-ethical constraints were triggered by an attempt of Moscow to gain a loyal partner in the Caucasus. The disintegration of the USSR and the subsequent weakening of the Russian Federation encouraged the Chechen opposition to the strenuous settlement of their long-standing requirements. “For the past two hundred years, they have generally been governed by Moscow, though they have had varying degrees of de facto autonomy.”…
The prevalence of racial discrimination and bigotry within society has validated the reality that the presence of men and women of color has been subdued and degraded since the beginning of time. The lives of black people have been deprived of alleviation due to the concurrent idea that people of color cannot acquire an accepted status within society. Members of the black community have endured brutal treatment and exploitation, from slavery and serfdom to segregation and discrimination, for a prolonged period of time. The notion of race and ethnicity within society has been unjustly utilized as a means of targeting and terrorizing people of color⎼a concurrent belief which has been set forth by a white-dominated society. Scholars are primarily…

However, discrimination in practice is unintentional and some people may discriminate without being aware of it. This is due to cultural and structural ideologies which has been embedded in our society. In order to avoid discrimination when dealing with crisis, it is imperative that social workers address the crisis with knowledge and understanding of the crisis and the challenges that may occur from discrimination (Thompson, 2011). This is because those who suffer from crisis are considered vulnerable and powerless, therefore there is a chance of them being exploited. Social workers must be able to use their power to help clients move forward in a way that empowers them and gives them control over their lives (Thompson,…
Human beings have a number of rights in this world, from the right to vote, to the right to have an education; but this doesn’t mean that everyone has the same access to these rights, nor are everyone’s rights as equal as they are professed to be. Human rights are meant to protect people from abuse and oppression, with human right workers being on the front line fighting to protect vulnerable populations from oppression. This however is not separate from the work of a social worker, who must implement and deal with the impacts of the rights on individuals; one profession fights on the political front the other fights often one person at a time. While there is a split between the two practices, human rights and social work go hand in hand. This…
