Discussion 2: The Social Work Advocate In Politics
Social workers often have commitments to specific policies, laws, or funding of programs that are vital to the population they serve or an issue that they strongly support. Such commitments often lead social workers to become involved in political issues and the campaigns of specific candidates. Being a social worker, such campaign experiences, the outcomes of your efforts, and how effective you felt you were may affect your view of the political process and the likelihood of becoming involved in similar campaigns in the future.
For this Discussion, reflect on your experiences if you have ever participated in a political campaign. What was the outcome of your participation? If you have not participated in a campaign, choose a campaign topic you support or oppose and consider the ways you might like to participate in that campaign. Likewise, think about your experiences if you have ever lobbied on a topic. If you have not, choose a topic for w

Discussion Question: The Economy
Chapter 17 highlights what is, in many ways, the very basis for sociological thought, the Economy. Many of the first sociologists based their theories on how the economy of society works. So your text talks about two major types of economies though there are many more out there, Socialism and Capitalism. In keeping with what is happening in our world today, I have posted two videos for you, One is of Bernie Sanders talking about what is wrong with Capitalism, and the other is Rand Paul talking about what is wrong with Socialism. While this is not going to be a discussion about politics, I am interested to hear your thoughts on these two very different perspectives in the light of the information presented in your text.
- What types of capitalism do we observe in our society today?
- Where could we benefit from socialism in our society?
- What is contributing to the underemployment and unemployment in our society? (Please use data to support your claims)

Social Work- Professional Development For Future Leaders And Supervisors
As you further develop your career in clinical social work, you may not be aware of all the types of leadership roles and opportunities available in human services organizations. Executive leadership positions are not the only leadership positions available. For example, you may fulfill a supervisory role as a social work supervisor and or as a clinical program director. As you conclude this course, you analyze how your career goals relate to leadership and management and reflect on your experience in the course.
Discussion 1: Future Career Goals
What are your short- and long-term professional goals? Do they include moving into a leadership and management position? Transitioning from clinical to administrative roles is not uncommon in social work practice. It is useful, however, to think about relevant skills, knowledge, and professional experiences that will prepare you for the transition. In addition, you should consider the p

Social Work- Applying Knowledge Of Research In Program Evaluation
While there is benefit to acquiring knowledge for its own sake, social work research and program evaluations are not merely academic exercises. Both social work research and the various types of program evaluations you have studied throughout this course should be used to directly improve day-to-day practice and service to clients. Social workers have the responsibility not only to conduct program evaluations and research but also share the knowledge they possess for the benefit of others. Modern technologies have given social workers the ability to quickly and easily share the results of their research and evaluation to improve social work practice on a large scale.
This week you analyze the process of sharing evaluation results with others. You also analyze the applicability of what you have learned in this course to your future as a social work student and working professional.
