Analysis Paper
The purpose of this assignment is to apply the principles of social work knowledge, values and ethics to two readings. Discuss how each of the author’s reflect social work values and ethics in their approach to the practice of social work. To what extent are the approaches similar? In what ways do they differ? How is each approach consistent with the Social Work Code of Ethics? Are the approaches consistent with the way in which Social Work Anti-Oppressive practice is being discussed in this course? If so, how? If not, why not?
The following two articles are to be used as the basis of this assignment:
