Essay Question:
”Human service work can be seen as an opportunity for social change or a means of maintaining social order.’
Discuss the above statement with reference to:
1)Your own values and the way they have impacted on your view of the world
2)How dominant political and social ideologies impact on human service.
These two frameworks – your own values and the dominant ideologies you have identified should provide the basis for your discussion of the question.
You may use first person when describing your values as this is a partly reflective piece but you must use academic language and references to support your argument.
In this assignment students will reflect on the way they think about human service provision (as an opportunity for social change or as a way in which to maintain social order and/or social control).
They will reflect on their own values and the way these have impacted on their own ways of viewing the world.
They will also recognise that dominant ideologies as expressed by those in the media and politics impact on the way human services are provided.
