challenging classes in the entire social work curriculum, but I cannot sum up the appreciation I have for this policy class. I have grown both personally and professionally. I find myself appreciating and exploring every aspect of the world. I have moved beyond my limited scope of thinking and I believe I will be more effective. The chapters on women increased my knowledge base because typically I focus on one population and highlight the issues, the practice skills, and the social work…

The history of social work as a profession isn’t as lengthy as some other professions. This newer helping profession has only been around since the 1800s. At first, social work was predominantly the result of religious people whose goal was to help people meet their basic needs. These helpful groups, with time, turned into larger organizations.

Aeschylus 's Eumenides centers around the conflict between the old view of justice and piety being intertwined, represented by the Furies, and the new view of justice, where the relationship between the gods and the Athenian people plays a less significant role, represented by Apollo and Athena. Both of Plato 's works, Euthyphro and The…

someone could say that this is a great proof that no one is willingly just but only when compelled to be so" (line 360c).

So, Glaucon states that once again men would rather be unjust for profits than be…
