Question 1
During the initial stages of my career as a social worker, I had limited knowledge of what
was required of a social worker, according to my original self-statement when I applied for this

ethnic diversity so as to eliminate discrimination, poverty, or any other social injustice subjected
to anyone (Bowles & Hopps, 2014).
