TRABAJO SOCIAL 3 “A” Clavijo Torres Mitzi Sandra

English Assignment N°1

1. What is social work? Is it easy to answer this question?

 It is a practice-based profession and an academic discipline that promotes social
change and development, social cohesion, and the empowerment and liberation
of people. The principles of social justice, human rights, collective responsibility,
and respect for diversity are central to social work. Underpinned by social work
theories, social sciences, humanities, and indigenous knowledge, social work
engages people and structures to address life challenges and enhance well-being.
 Well, it can be a little complicated to answer the question because there are
several concepts of this same profession but they always have coincidences such
as that this is a practical profession, it is a deeper approach to a community or
society.
