The strategies and interventions planned by any social worker hugely depends on the way they view their clients’ problems through the sociological lens. The success of interventions in any social domain is impossible without a thorough understanding of the nature, extent, assumptions, stereotypes and complexities of the issue.

Since the 1990s, Canadian public and academic discourse has largely framed young people as apathetic and disengaged from civic life. The perceived lack of civic engagement among youth has led to the proliferation of various programs and initiatives, both state-led and community-based, which aim to overcome and address the perceived issue of young people’s lack of participation (Caron, Raby, Mitchell, Thewissen-LeBlanc, & Prioletta, 2016, pp. 3-4). As Caron et al. (2016, p. 4) note, many of these…

Does corrective justice provide a useful tool with which to analyse the UK’s accident compensation system?

Final Learning Assessment (Rough Draft) As human beings we all have one thing in common, we all share the same home, the planet earth. Yet, within this home, every single one of us has our very own world. These may sound like contradictory statements, but they are not. The truth of the matter is, as human beings, we all make our own realities that differ from that of people in another country, state, or even our neighbors. Yet, simultaneously, we can share the same reality with hundreds,…
