issues overlooked during the assessment might have a significant impact on the child’s welfare and wellbeing (Turney et al, 2011). This in turn might create unexpected setbacks during the assessment and the social worker doing assessment might not be able to handle that due to lack of training. Which means that it is important that from the start, social workers should be aware and mindful of the information they gather in terms of the factors that support and undermine the child’s care. Furthermore, it is important for social workers to understand that gathering information is also about being able to make sense of the data collected and how not to overlook it even when it contradicts their findings; instead of just collecting straightforward information and only working with that without any alternatives considered. The social worker’s choice of theory when collecting data does affected the way they will ask certain questions; for example, they might ask more closed questions as opposed to open-ended questions the questions they will ask and the way they will gather the information; either in a survey or questionnaire (Maclean, 2015). Steve De Shazer (1985) completed his work on the Brief Solution Focused Therapy (BSFT); which focused on what the patient needed to achieve through therapy rather than focusing on the problem that led them to seek help. BSFT aimed to used supportive questions that enabled the service user to recognise their own strengths and abilities. One…

some organizations. A large percentage of people are getting bullied and a half has said nothing has happened taken forward their complaint which is why it is in people interest to know why nothing has happened from the victims getting bullied in the workplace. Harrington, Rayner, Warren (2012, p395) This is a worthwhile question to ask as if bullying is taking place, then why isn’t it being dealt with or even solved in the right manner? Not only does it affect the victim, but it affects…
Important to realize, the author also communicates with the reader that life's not out of ordinary by telling them “The children assembled first, of course. School was recently over for the summer, and the feeling of liberty sat uneasily on most of them; they tended to gather together quietly for a while before they broke into boisterous play.” In conclusion, Shirley Jackson uses of figurative language makes the reader part of the story. It makes for an effective short…
This essay discusses what hunter-gathers are and how it fits with a band organization, what life was like for Bushmen and the role of kinship and friendship, and the safety nets formed by the Ju/’hoansi people. I will evaluate the definitions of these types of groups, and what they are made up of. I will give examples of how the interwoven ties aid in survival. More specifically, I will give examples from the Bushmen of South Africa Kalahari desert area known as the Ju/’hoansi. First,…
How do people gather the courage to stand up for what they believe is right? Today's society can teach people to find the courage to stand up by using anecdotes, taking advantages of teachable moments, and demonstrating good choices. People should take the time and demonstrate the wrong choices to each other when the time is right. Atticus the role model to his children for telling them that it's a sin to kill a mockingbird. As anecdotes are stories of experiences they can…
For much of Australia’s history, women have been under-represented and marginalised. Throughout the three eras of Australian poetry (pioneering, war and contemporary), societal ideas, attitudes and values towards woman have been reflected through poets’ use of aesthetic features. Essex’s ‘”The women of the west”, upholds the accepted unequal values of the Pioneering era, and while it does represent women as somewhat heroic, they clearly are not equal to men. The war era shows very little…
In this paper, I will be answering question number one which in short asks what the four types of civilization are and where did the people of Catalhoyuk fall. In the Ice Age, we find that the hunter-gathers were more of a simplistic type of people. They made desicions as a whole. Such decisions included where they would go, how long they would stay, what to do if somebody were to break group rules, etc. The group was able to make such decisions as a group because of the limited number of people…
One reason she should not sign it because she needs the money to pay her debt. In chapter 9 it states that Lyddie wants to gather her family before they die. ‘She must earn all the money to pay what they owed, so she could gather her family back on the farm. I say that this means she wants to gather before she loses them because she was very emotional when she was informed that Charles was happy with his new family.” Gather her family while she still has family to gather.” This demonstrates…
Recently in class we watched an episode of “Guns, Germs and Steel” a documentary about human inequality by Jarred Diamond. Diamond explained how certain societies advanced faster than others, and explains how agriculture affects our societies today. Agriculture is something we take for granite inner society, when it is vitally important for the society we have today. It all began with our ancestors, our hunter-gather roots as they become farmers. Most Hunter-gathers became farmers because it…
