Where Are You On The Subject Of Social Work Agencies

When I went to law school the politically conservative students called me the social worker because of my relative conservative beliefs. They would mutter from the back of the class when I was discussing a legal case I thought would be better decided by society rather than the strict rule of law that I should become a lawyer for social work agencies.

I do not consider myself a liberal in any sense of the word. But if you remember the term young republicans, you will have an idea of the guys I went to law school with. Although my minor study in college was sociology. So I do know the principles of sociology and know why conservative called me a social worker anytime I argued a legal case from a caring and relative standpoint.

If you see some of the movies from the sixties and fifties where a social worker, usually an attractive young woman who is trying to help the young handsome man with his anger toward society. He is angry because society simply has not given him a fair deal. That is why he is such a rebel. Marlon Brando played a biker who would disrupt society everywhere he went. The movie goers felt his pain and sided with his rebel ways.

Conservative minded people both politically and socially argue that everyone, even handsome young movie stars, as a right of self responsibility. If your life is tough then you made it tough on yourself. Do not blame society and certainly do not blame your environment.

The social worker on the other hand, at least those who have studied sociology in the past fifty years and adopt the popular thinking believe that environment has a great deal to do with the way a person grows and becomes the adult he or she is. If a child grows up in a crime ridden area where drug dealing, prostitution, and illegal gambling is the norm he will have disadvantages a child living in an upper class family on the nice side of town does not even know exists.

I worked the ghetto as a sales representative. I worked the rich side of town as a sales representative. Guess where I would choose to grow up or raise a family. Listen no matter how driven a child is, no matter how smart a child is, growing up in the ghetto is not easy compared to growing up in an upper class area with two parents.

This is not to say that those who decide to forget school and join the ranks of the drug dealers or other law breakers do not have personal responsibility for their acts, they do. But social workers do not need conservatives calling them bleeding heart liberals.

No there are many young people living in a jungle of crime, destruction, and disillusion who want to get out. Some do not need to hear about how their environment is responsible for the continuing social problems passed down from one generation to the next. No they simply need help to get themselves out of the ghetto. And that is where social work agencies can help.
