Community Social Work: Assessment and Intervention

Classified in Social sciences

Written at on English with a size of 4.3 KB.

Let's consider an example to illustrate this concept:

  • Risks associated with medical care and health.

Obviously, we have a set of indicators to describe the state of health of a population in general, and we use these to set priorities. For example, the infant mortality rate, the available vaccines, health workers, and their distribution in the area. The first step for the community social worker, and the institution or organization where they work or that finances their activities, is to describe such situations from three points of view:

  1. We must build on what we may call the principle of heterogeneity of the population and its impact on health: The very unequal living conditions also produce very different epidemiological patterns among the different

Written at on English with a size of 2.16 KB.

Early 20th Century European Society

Industrial Growth and Social Inequality

The early 20th century in Europe witnessed significant industrial growth, enriching the privileged bourgeois classes but also creating a deep societal divide. The First World War (1914-1918) further exacerbated this crisis of values. The euphoria of economic and technological progress fueled a consumer society, sheltering the new liberal capitalist system. However, this growth also widened the gap between the wealthy bourgeoisie and the exploited working class, leading to the rise of protest movements and ideologies like Anarchism, Socialism, and Communism.

Crisis of Faith and Reason

Key ideologies challenged positivism and rational thought, denouncing the perceived failures... Continue reading "Early 20th Century Europe: Societal Shifts and Ideological Conflicts" »

Is it possible? This title may not be considered anything, but everyone's lips now are able to ask me to write about the text, and that way I will. Lasts! I almost forgot to say the title, *aix*.... Modernizing the Basque language is a question I addressed in this blog, i.e.
Basque is just peanuts for many, but to shit! They do not use anything, no friends, no home... anywhere! This text is aimed at those, there Tori!

Firstly, we need our own motivation to be able to speak Basque. Let's go there to make some changes, such as television. Only two channels are in Basque, and both are relatively boring. Well, yes! Something must have the following *pensatu*: Encouragement, *argitxoa* people between the eyes to light. But how? Is it possible?...

Written at on English with a size of 2.67 KB.

The Social and Political Commitment of Miguel Hernández

Miguel Hernández's solutions in his writings can be divided into stages:

  • The first stage expresses revolutionary acts of peasants and communists.
  • The second stage begins with a poetry imbued with social protest.

The Farmer of More Air curses farmers and brandishes communist symbols.

The Ray Doesn't Stop shows loving and non-conformist introspection with a wicked society.

Wind of the People is optimistic, enthusiastic, and combative, moving by fraternity and fruitful blood. It has an epic tone but never ignores the lyric, with a clear and transparent way to be understood.

Man is a Hunter is the pessimistic version of the general war. The verse is large and painful, contemplating the defeat on... Continue reading "Miguel Hernández: Social Commitment, Images, and Symbols" »

The Birth of Modern Economics: Physiocracy and its Principles

Classified in Social sciences

Written at on English with a size of 3.69 KB.

Although discussions about production and distribution have a long history, economic science in its modern sense, as a separate discipline, is conventionally dated from the publication of The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith in 1776.[7] In it, he describes the discipline in these exact words:

Political economy, considered a branch of science of a statesman or legislator, proposes two distinct objects: first, to supply goods or income in abundance for the people, or more properly, to enable them to provide such a revenue or subsistence for themselves; and, second, to supply the state or commonwealth with a revenue sufficient for the public services. It proposes to enrich both the people and the sovereign.

Smith referred to the subject as "political... Continue reading "The Birth of Modern Economics: Physiocracy and its Principles" »

Facing the Interpretation of Action (Business Diagnosis)

In this process of immersion, the community worker should become a benchmark in terms of knowing the neighborhood. A walking encyclopedia full of accurate and relevant information on individuals, organizations, and neighborhood characteristics.

The professionalism that is expected of him makes building a good knowledge necessary to advance their cause in the face of resource allocation, budgeting, or future grants, to justify certain aspects of the intervention, to disseminate information among neighbors and extend awareness of issues, to argue better, etc. For this reason, the approach to the neighborhood can be translated into different product types or reports with wide utility.
