It started centaies agp as chrity Wark or almsgiving but with rapid urbanization and indusrilization the scene has gradually changed, The world according to MeLuban thas become a “global village” so much so tha: even nations affect cach other. The complexity of modern society has given rise to social problems affecting man and bis evirenment. The descen- dants ofthe charity workers, in thei quest for more effective ways ‘of helping people, finaly evolved the profession known as sci work. ‘Social work is concerned net only with the person asa human ‘being but with the person in-stuation or the person in-environ- ment, This perspestve arose from the experiences and observa tions of the pioneers that person and environment affect each other in e cause and effect manner. With this in mind they ha regarded social work universally asthe prafession whieh helps individuals, families, groups and commmnities to develop, improve, maintain or restore their capability for eoping withthe demands of their environment through the use of socal work ‘methods of intervention.
