Synopsis
Excerpt from Social Work
The aim of this volume, and of the series in which it appears, is to make clearer the relation between every-day, sometimes discouraging efforts to help others and those larger social movements in industry, education, and other departments of life and thought to which they are essentially related. There is inspira tion for the familiar, manageable even if difficult task in the idea that its full meaning is to be found in the national or world struggle to manage also, in one way or another, the less familiar, more difficult human task of which it is a local and typical instance.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the expansive history of social work, delving into its charitable origins and tracing its evolution into a multifaceted system that plays a fundamental role in contemporary society. The author explores how the Industrial Revolution transformed society, leading to a surge in poverty, disease, and crime. In response, social work emerged as a force to alleviate suffering and tackle these social problems rooted in economic inequality and exploitation. The book delves into the various components of social work, from caring for individuals to improving living and working conditions, arguing that social work is not solely about providing assistance but also about challenging injustice, enhancing opportunities, and creating a more equitable society. The author emphasizes how social work finds its purpose in the gap between social ideals and the realities of human suffering, ultimately demonstrating the crucial role it plays in promoting human well-being and progress. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
