The value conflict that Kate
encounters was dealing with a Wiccan couple. The couple has a child in Kate’s foster
care and they refuse to let the foster care takes their child to church every Sunday because
it is religious conflict. Therefore, Kate arranged another service for this child. This is
value conflict because Kate is a faithful Christian. To Kate, the positive aspect of being a
social worker is to helping people to live a better life, while she is helping others ,she

Value is a way to demonstrate the performance of
work, financial value can reveal how importance of social work in society. First method
is Contingent Valuation Method, when public goods and service is hard to estimate its full
value under its uncertainty and free ride dilemma, people’s willingness to pay(WTP) in
certain social problem shows how much people want to support it, this method helps
estimate work’s value. For example, it estimates gerontology and conduct how much
client value the service they received. The second method used in value social worker’s
pay called Hedonic Price Value(HPV), researcher studies a area based on its worth value
in investment. For example, how to solve someone’s problem living in gang
neighborhood, “researcher can value the cost of social problem and estimate whether an
intervention is worth the investment”, that being said, the worthy investment gets higher
attention and the higher pay towards social worker. The third method called Replacement
value, it replaces nonprofits organizations service with government programs, which
offers the same service but higher price for social worker.
Social service is beneficial because it promotes welfare, brings peace and justice
and promote justice in the society. I argue that social worker deserves higher monetary
benefits as extrinsic reward because social worker requires high degree of proficiency.
