Midterm Question #3 for Global Social Work
3. Consider what we have learned about child development and cooperative and competitive societies. Imagine you were asked to consult with parents at a preschool in a country that had been deprived of up-to-date social work, psychological, and educational concepts. The parents wonder how they can help prevent their children's engagement in violence and instead be productive and self-assertive.
First provide several points you would want to make, with the scholarly reasons why.
Then, drawing from what you have learned from Healey and the readings, describe the process you would engage in with the parents so they felt empowered and interested in what you have to say.

1) Now imagine you are a practicing global social worker in a community organization advocating peacefully and legally for human rights, such as the ones Grodofsky describes. You can be in any country of the world, including U.S., but understand his tactics are designed for contexts in which government is led by people who are corrupt and cruel. Describe how you would empower people to create a laughtivism campaign to voice their concerns.
2) How do Popovic's ideas and your plan represent key values and practices of global social work as Healy and others describe them?

There will be a debate, one side arguing 'yes,' the other side arguing 'no.' You are asked to argue "yes." So outline your argument, using examples from our readings and others if you like about what can be done to remedy global poverty, and of course, focus on what social workers could do if we had the resources...
