PART ONE:

Social workers need to be able to identify how social constructions influence the client’s life. This assignment will develop this skill.

1. What are the social phenomena apparent in this case? Explain them.
2. What theories would a social worker need to be familiar with in order to most effectively help the clients in this situation?
3. What are some ways a social worker could use those theories in helping the client work through these social phenomena?
4. Use the NASW Code of Ethics to identify the appropriate principle(s) that aligns with ethical practice in this video case study.
