The group I chose to research was the Hispanic culture. I do not know much about the Hispanic culture nor have had much experience working with this culture. Sometimes it can be hard to work with or surround yourself with people when your cultures are not the same, therefore getting to better know the values and customs of a Hispanic will help me to make sure my clients get the most from me Knowing more about the people that I am dealing with is the best way to ensure a good client to counselor…
Supported Values The value I most strongly support is freedom. As this list is based upon U.S values, everything on it stems from freedom itself. It is not a thing we as a country achieve and be done with, it must be constantly defended. Specific to me is how I have based my life around it.

When we value something, we care about it deeply. What we value changes over time; however, whether it be something material or abstract, everyone has something they value in their life. The love and support my family gives me is what I value most in this world. Without this, I would not be the person I am today. Not everyone has been lucky enough to have a loving family. My family is nowhere near perfect, but considering they love me unconditionally and try their best whenever I need them, to…

We get so overwhelmed with filling our day with obligations that we forget to stop and ask some of life’s most basic questions. In order for us to live a meaningful life, we need to start analyzing who we are as humans and what that means for us. Although the three most basic questions of philosophy- Who am I? What am I?

Values are important for the field of social work, and the NASW has created a standard as to what professional values we should…
