Ethics

White (2008) states that while a social worker is expected to uphold the interest of his or her client, there are various situations that may challenge this ideal objective. The conflicts of interest may arise when the interest of the social worker interfere with the attention of the needs and interest of the client, whether it may be for personal, financial, occupational, sexual or spiritual motives. The conflict may also take place when the tension arises in upholding the rights of several parties to whom the social worker owes loyalty. The NASW Code mandates the all social workers should be ...

Australia is a nation that is well known to have people of different ethnic backgrounds due to immigrations from various countries and international students. When a country or community has people of different ethnicity there are bound to have their own traditions and customs thus will bring about culture shock when interacting with one another. Australia has been faced with a lot of racial discrimination claims from the beginning when the white settlers entered the country. The original occupants of Australia were the aborigines and the Torres Strait Islander. It is a well known fact that Australia is known for their harsh and ...

Housing laws have seen various reforms, however, the law governing the housing and consumer issues have become more integrated and complex. This has therefore seen various barriers that have been imposed based on the racial issues in addition to the class factors that have been entrenched into the country’s different regions that have been either ignored or gone unacknowledged. This therefore has denied these regions any form of support. The problem of lack of proper housing and consumer services based on color and lack of access to good credit has resulted into growing divide among the home ownerships ...

The houses in Chicago and bungalows just like any other bungalows in the country have been neglected and little care given to them. This is despite numerous attempts by advocates like Upton and Rapoport. The neglect has left the string of bungalows a shadow of their former glory.

Many of the architects and scholars have no real interest in how the houses were built.

Rent control can be defined as the price control on an item usually imposed by the government in any country. Rent control involves the placement of a ceiling on domestic rental housings. Along with wage control, which is a perennial favorite, rent control is said to be an example of a constantly recurring potential for political opportunism, as well as, economic ignorance to triumph over sound principle. Perhaps, rent control is not only the single most agreed upon but also the least controversial issue prevailing in the field of economics. From the findings of a research conducted by Turner, economists of all persuasions ...

This paper will discuss social policy from a historical perspective. Social policy, back in the days, referred to the primary principles, guidelines, legislation as well as activities that affected the dwelling conditions of human beings (Foner 54).

The given statement of opinion, that appeared in newspaper call-in column portrays complete breakdown of logic. It is strewn with fallacious arguments, some of which cannot stand the test of deductive reasoning at all. To be able to identify such fallacies, it is imperative that we have a clear picture of what deductive reasoning entails as well as what fallacious arguments or statements really are (Vincent 2005).
Zearfsky and David (2002) say that deductive reasoning is the type of reasoning that subjects deductive arguments to an evaluation process in order to draw conclusions. Sets of hypotheses are evaluated to ...

Nowadays the Internet is full of memes that became newly designed media tools. At the moment, our society is just beginning to truly interpret the real concept of memes. Susan Blackmore in her article “The Power of Memes” gives the definition of them: “Memes are stories, songs, habits, skills, inventions and ways of doing things that we copy from person to person by imitation.” (Blackmore, 52) They gradually burst into our life as funny pictures, jokes, funny videos and phrases, but their purpose is much more global. An unknown person, who created a meme of a good quality and ...

Question 1
In the mid 19th century, after the Second World War, Jews in the Arab countries faced the gravest ever case of human rights violation. The Arab regimes in the Middle East and northern part of Africa forced Jews to leave their homes or be held like political hostages. The Arabs came up with official statements that completely subordinated the Jews and threatened their civil, political, economic, and human rights. These actions contradicted the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Part II and Article2.1 of the covenant states that “each state party to the present ...

Jane Jacob wrote the book, The Death and Life of Great American Cities in 1961 at a time when most of the American cities were overwhelmed with immense development projects. The book provides Jacob’s opinion on what makes these cities work as well as a critique of modern planning theory. This book can be considered to bear dual significance. While on one end the book is specific in offering critique of the urban planning, it is general since it lies in the degree to which Jacob calls into question the concepts of central planning and bureaucratic expertise concepts. Specifically on ...

Nowadays there are 28 member countries in the European Union.

Introduction

The process of decision making faces ethical dilemmas that require the application of relevant theoretical foundations. The most common theoretical foundations of ethics include utilitarianism, Kant’s categorical imperative, justice as fairness and altruism. Utilitarianism theories require decisions to do the greatest good for the greatest number of people (Johnson, 1952, p.154). Kant based his theory of categorical imperative on the premise that decision makers should focus on right decisions regardless of their costs (Johnson, 1952, p.158). The proponents of the theory of justice as fairness propose that decision makers should guarantee equal rights and opportunities even in the ...

In our day to day life, it is easy to see individuals who have found ways to cheat the system, and claim social welfare sources that are above and beyond that which they are entitled to, or who find ways to misappropriate the funds that they are given, and we are incensed by the waste of public dollars. However, in contrast we rarely get to see the results of corporate welfare, provided through government subsidies, or how the use of those funds are abused. In reality, though public disgust of corporate subsidies is far less prominent, they cost tax ...

For all outsiders who watch with horror the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine, it would really be hard to understand why so many killings happen for a small strip of land. The popular sentiment in the Western countries and most of the non-Arab world is that, Palestine is the perpetrator of the conflict and Israel is doing what any country would do to safeguard its citizens. All the targeted killings, separation barriers and military attacks by Israel are given a single justification – Self defense. So is this the reality? Is Israel really the victim and Palestine the ...

Inherent in society are the biases that come from the people within it. It is important to note, however, how biases play into how the foundation of a society is built and how decisions are made to further that society. Racism is a particular bias that has developed into a hierarchical system by which one race has more access and opportunities than others. The remnants of race are seen in the way housing communities are developed, access to quality and employment opportunities.
A developed society offers its citizens the right to live and work freely. But, in practice, that right is ...

The Death and Life of Great American Cities authored by Jane Jacobs was the most influential book of her time. First published in 1961, it made an attack on the objectives and principles of modernist, orthodox planning of the city and rebuilding in the post-war period in the USA. The book was written in reaction to the devastating outcome of the urban refurbishment in the post-war period. She makes a direct attack on what she terms "orthodox" city planning and reconstruction. She points out the failures of modern city planning, arguing how the various institutions of intellectual planning history have ...

The writer argues that, USA government’s ability to ration health care has been made possible by lack of legislation which guarantees all citizen right to health care. This is quite unique because all other affluent nations have adequate legislations guaranteeing citizens right to medical care. In USA citizens only enjoy a universal right to emergency treatment. However, the current and previous presidents have always asserted that the government offers universal health care. While in reality rationing has been practiced since democratization of the nation.
Rationing is based on several issues and basis. First and foremost, it’s based ...

Barbara Ehrenreich’s presents a clear and concise account of the methods that millions of American uses to survive the economic struggles in American. In addition, the 2001 book, “Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting by in America” analyzes how individuals survive on minimum paying jobs. Ehrenreich postulates that even though these individuals work under poor economic conditions, there is a strong “work ethic” present. But, this work ethic does not help to provide the basic necessities of transportation, food, and shelter. For those individuals who work in hotels, restaurants, retail stores, and a number of other service jobs the wages are not ...

Part 1B: Policy Analysis

Typically policies are subject to change over time. Policies, however, good or bad are not permanent and there is always an option of changing or altering them in the event that one does not like them. It is at this instance where the option of social change comes in. due to different circumstances and changing environments, there is always the possibility that the applicability of certain public policies become invalid. This therefore necessitates change in the social policies so as to be relevant and applicable in the prevailing situations.
Thus nature of policy to keep changing demands that ...

Restoring democracy in the United States will require major reforms that reduce the power of corporations, elites and special interests in the whole political process. Right now, there is a radical disconnect between the political and economic elites and the needs and interests of the ordinary voters.

The underutilization of resources. Even with abundant natural resources, inadequate utilization and exploitation due to inadequate capital, lack of skilled labor, and the failure to access the requisite technology stops such nations from prospering (Collier 37).

The issue of moral panic is absolutely something that plagues the culture surrounding the contemporary criminal justice system. Judging from the ‘Superpredator’ scare of the 1990s, in which the media and criminal justice systems combined to create a moral panic over violent youth (often black) in the inner city, moral panics unfairly agitate the populace into making harsh decisions to address epidemics that may or may not truly exist to the extent they are being portrayed. While the video points out that the height of the super-predator scare has long past, its effects are still seen in things like ...

According to John Arend, Mike Benkert, Audrey deFilippis and Saretta Tillmaand, when the Commerzbank building opened its doors in 1997, the “53-story” edifice became the one of the “tallest” buildings located in Europe (1). Nevertheless, the edifice’s distinctiveness did not come from its height, but, rather, it came from the way in which it combined “form, inventiveness, and technical expertise” (Arend, Benkert, deFilippis, & Tillmaand 1). The design and construction of the Commerzbank saw the “[b]reaking away from the American model of deep-planned, air-conditioned structures” that have a “central service core” (Arend, Benkert, deFilippis, & ...

The paper is well argued. By identifying a host of factors under "How Did This Happen?" section, paper's author offers a detailed background on how current situation has developed.

For example, in examining a paradox of high education and unemployment for both married and unmarried women in modern Japan, paper's author manages to justify how, upon retirement of a growing number of senior working men, unemployed women have come to gradually replace retired workers and hence daycare center problem.

Introduction

The indiscriminate and excessive use of groundwater has in the recent past raised questions regarding its sustainability (Ponce, 2006).

This problem is worsened by the fact that unlike surface water, ground water does not ...

The current state of affairs in Toronto in terms of child poverty is quite bleak.

It encompasses issues such as cultural assimilation, human rights and dignity, law and justice, employment, as well as educational opportunities for host countries and migrant countries.

Laurence is an associate professor of political science at Boston College. Kofi Annan, United Nations' Secretary General on International Flows of Humanity, states that we need a more-balanced, conservative approach ...

Humans, as the creation myth suggests, are co-creators who were made to impact nature by modifying it through their activities. This is depicted in the material culture that rests in national parks, museums and other reservoirs of cultural heritage. As people live in an area, rather than simply making do with the conditions of the place and what it supplies to them, they adapt to it by producing new forms of material culture through technology that eventually makes the place change. This shows how humans are more than just consumers of nature who preserve and perpetuate its conditions, but ...
