As you enter the social work profession, it is relevant to revisit the work of Martin Luther King, Jr., and what it represents. In contemporary society, we see many racial confrontations, which might reflect systems of oppression that impact the lives and experiences of people in our culture. Work remains to be done because racism can be expressed in both subtle and not-so-subtle forms in individual, systemic and institutional ways. As a social worker, you can work to reduce, and possibly end, racial inequities in your community.In this assignment, you will analyze the dynamics of racism and explore racial oppression as it relates to cultural dynamics, the class system, politics, and policies. You will explore how Christian faith and practice intersect with a passion for working on human rights issues, such as ending racism.ResourcesTextbook: The Social Work PracticumArticle: Revolt Without Violence: The Negroes’ New StrategyArticle: From Liberal Pluralism to Critical Multiculturalism: The Need for a Paradigm Shift in Multiculturalism Education for Social Work Practice in the United StatesFile: APA 6e Guide.pdfBackground InformationAs a social worker, you will be expected to demonstrate character, scholarship, and leadership in your clinical practice.Character is the product of constant action, striving daily to make the right choices.
