In a world where genocide, hunger, poverty, war, and disease
persist and where richer nations often fail to act to address these
problems or act too late, a prerequisite to achieving even modest
social justice goals is to clarify the meaning of competing
discourses on the concept. Throughout history, calls for social
justice have been used to rationalize the status quo, promote
modest reforms, and justify revolutionary, even violent action.
Ironically, as the prominence of the concept has risen, the meaning
of social justice has become increasingly obscured. This
authoritative volume explores different perspectives on social
justice and what its attainment would involve. It addresses key
issues, such as resolving fundamental questions about human nature
and social relationships; the distribution of resources, power,
status, rights, access, and opportunities; and the means by which
decisions regarding this distribution are made. Illustrating the
complexity of the topic, it presents a range of international,
historical, and theoretical perspectives, and discusses the
dilemmas inherent in implementing social justice concepts in policy
and practice. Covering more than abstract definitions of social
justice, it also includes multiple examples of how social justice
might be achieved at the interpersonal, organizational, community,
and societal levels. With contributions from leading scholars
around the globe, Reisch has put together a magisterial and
multi-faceted overview of social justice. It is an essential
reference work for all scholars with an interest in social justice
from a wide range of disciplines, including social work, public
policy, public health, law, criminology, sociology, and education.
For the Common Good is an anthology of selected essays by Dr.
Harold Lewis, one of the intellectual leaders of the social work
profession. Social work literature often reflects powerful
ahistorical tendencies which, in recent years, have produced
analyses of social issues that lack awareness of both the
contemporary environment and the historical forces that shaped it.
Lewis' insights into the nature and purpose of social work help
fill some of these historical and conceptual gaps, and present a
clearer picture of social work's true place in our society.

The Road Not Taken: A History of Radical Social Work in the United States examines the evolution of social work in the United States through a lens rarely utilized in explorations of the profession's past. Employing a broad range of primary and secondary sources, many of them previously untapped, the authors focus on the influence of radical individuals and ideas in shaping the development of social work practice and social welfare policies during the past century. The book also explores the responses of mainstream institutions, political leaders, and the media to the ideas and actions of radical social workers: responses which ranged from accommodation, co-optation, and incorporation to harsh repression. The Road Not Taken is an appeal to re-examine the profession's history in light of the critical choices made and the battles fought or deferred by American social workers, and to consider how they might respond to contemporary and future political and cultural threats.

Social Work and Social Justice emphasizes the importance of social
justice work, vividly illustrates the complexity of this work, and
discusses how social workers can negotiate the practical and
ethical challenges involved. Unlike many books on the subject, it
integrates a diverse array of approaches to social justice, thereby
promoting critical thinking and underscoring the value of utilizing
various perspectives in one's practice. Distinguishing features of
this book include: emphasis on the complementary nature of socially
just goals and processes; well-developed case examples;
multi-disciplinary, multi-cultural, and international perspectives;
a clear exposition of principles and skills of socially just
practice; and the use of diverse cultural materials from different
media to illustrate the concepts presented. This text is largely
based on the authors' extensive teaching and practice experience in
a wide variety of fields - both in the U.S. and internationally -
and on their research on such varied topics as welfare reform,
mental health, social work practice theory, social work values and
ethics, and the history and philosophy of social welfare and social
work. Social Work and Social Justice is an essential resource for
undergraduate and graduate students/faculty, as well as social
work/human services practictioners.
Social work as a democratically constituted profession committed to
human rights is currently facing cross-border encroachments and
attacks by right-wing populist movements and governments. With the
Bundestag elections in September 2017, the question of the extent
to which right-wing populist forces succeed in influencing the
discourse with xenophobic and nationalist arguments arises in
Germany, too. The authors examine how social work can respond
effectively to nationalism, exclusion, de-solidarization and a
basic skepticism about science and position itself against this
background. The book explores different conditions in Germany,
France, Poland, Russia and the US.

Michael Risch beschreibt, wie man Baustellen sicherer gestaltet,
die eigene Verantwortung erkennt und damit das Unfall- und
Haftungsrisiko reduziert. Ausgehend von den realen Erfordernissen
an die Arbeitssicherheit unterstutzt der Autor so bei der
Einordnung, Wertung und Anwendung von Vorschriften und Regeln zur
Unfallvermeidung und zum Arbeitsschutz auf Baustellen. Auf dieser
Grundlage wird der Leser befahigt, diese auf den jeweiligen
Sachverhalt in der Praxis zu ubertragen und sinnvoll danach zu
handeln. Die Planung komplexer Gebauden sollte mit einer moeglichst
genauen Kenntnis der tatsachlichen Bauablaufe Hand in Hand gehen,
denn nur so kann bereits im Planungsprozess eine vorausschauende
Gefahrdungsbeurteilung fur die Bauausfuhrung erfolgen. Mit der
Inbetriebnahme und Nutzung eines Gebaudes muss auch dessen Wartung,
Pflege und Instandhaltung sicher und ungefahrdet durchfuhrbar sein,
was im Planungsprozess zu berucksichtigen und in der Bauausfuhrung
umzusetzen ist.

Social Policy and Social Justice: Meeting the Challenges of a
Diverse Society is built on a clear, conceptual social justice
framework and provides up-to-date rigorous analyses of contemporary
social policy issues, written by experts in their particular areas
of research and practice. The book explores the relationship of
social policy to economic, social, and culture transformation and
the ongoing conflict between universal and population-specific
conceptions of social welfare. The fourth edition provides readers
with the most comprehensive and up-to-date information and analyses
related to social policy and social justice. It discusses the
effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on socioeconomic inequality in the
U.S.; the Trump administration's impact on social policy; policy
initiatives undertaken and proposed by the Biden administration;
and the implications of the Black Lives Matter movement on the
development of anti-racist social policies. The text examines
ongoing political and ideological conflicts on social policies that
affect women; the consequences of recent changes in the Supreme
Court and federal judiciary on social policy; the impact of the
Affordable Care Act on health care access, cost, and quality; the
emergence of environmental justice and climate change as key social
policy issues; and more. Social Policy and Social Justice is ideal
for undergraduate and graduate social work courses, as well as
classes in cognate fields such as nursing, public policy, and
political science.
Social Work Ethics in a Changing Society analyzes the challenges
social workers face in applying social work values and ethics due
to recent significant social, political, cultural, and
technological changes. It provides readers with guidelines for
ethical practice based on a philosophic foundation rooted in social
justice principles. The book begins with a summary of key ethical
concepts and principles. It then provides a brief history of social
work ethics and analyzes their core assumptions in the context of
new realities. The book provides readers with several frameworks
through which to analyze a variety of contemporary ethical issues.
In subsequent chapters, it applies these frameworks to situations
largely derived from real world experience. Global sources provide
a comparative perspective on the interpretation and implementation
of social work values and ethics. The book contains extensive case
examples and reflection exercises that illustrate ethical dilemmas
in all areas of practice and those created or complicated by
increasing social and cultural diversity. It includes content on
the application of ethics to policy practice through examples drawn
from the 2010 Affordable Care Act, the nation's response to the
coronavirus pandemic, and other current policy issues. Designed to
help current and future social workers navigate a fractious,
ever-evolving society, Social Work Ethics in a Changing Society is
an excellent resource for students, faculty, and practitioners
within the discipline.
Macro Social Work Practice: Working for Change in a Multicultural
Society explores the dynamics and practice implications of
increasingly diverse communities, organizations, and social service
networks and helps students develop the skills to work successfully
in these contexts. The book gives students the foundational skills
and knowledge required for effective practice in social service and
human organizations, healthcare settings, communities, social
networks, and social movements. It emphasizes the relationship
between structural and institutional inequalities and the
experiences of individuals, families, communities, and
organizations. Through case examples the book illustrates how
principles of social justice, empowerment, and cultural awareness
can be applied in different cultural contexts. Through various
exercises, students will apply critical thinking to resolve
practical and ethical dilemmas and make the type of difficult
decisions that practitioners confront every day. The book also
addresses how recent political events, cultural developments, and
social changes have altered both the context and the content of
macro social work practice in the United States. Macro Social Work
Practice is appropriate for undergraduate and graduate courses in
social work, family and community development, public health,
nursing, and human services.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 1996 im Fachbereich BWL -
Unternehmensfuhrung, Management, Organisation, Universitat Zurich
(Unbekannt), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Inhaltsangabe:
Zusammenfassung: Haufig wird Milton Friedman zitiert, wenn eine
soziale und/oder gesellschaftliche Verantwortung der Unternehmung
in Frage gestellt werden soll. Die einzige soziale Verantwortung
des Unternehmens, so Friedman, bestehe darin, "(...) to use its
resources and engage in activities designed to increase its
profits." Seine Einschrankung, dass dies im Rahmen der "basic rules
of society, both those embodied in the law and those embodied in
ethical custom" zu geschehen habe, wird in der "Business and
Society"-Literatur haufig als "buttom-line social policy" oder
"social obligation" bezeichnet. Diese enge Sicht unternehmerischer
Verantwortung steht jedoch in krassem Widerspruch zu den steigenden
gesellschaftlichen Erwartungen, mit denen sich Manager seit Beginn
der 80er Jahre konfrontiert sehen. Viele Unternehmens-Vorstande
widmen inzwischen "externen Angelegenheiten" mehr Zeit als
irgendeiner anderen Tatigkeit und die meisten verfugen uber Stabe,
die ihnen Informationen zu einem besseren Verstandnis ihres
sozialen Umfeldes liefern. Ausgangspunkt dieser Arbeit ist die
Darstellung des zentralen Paradigmas der "Business and
Society"-Literatur: der Corporate Social Performance (CSP) sowie
der Transaktionskostenokonomie als "Analyseinstrument" zur
effizienten Gestaltung von Institutionen. In Teil II wird nach
kurzer Diskussion der mit der Wahl von Massgrossen fur die CSP bzw.
den Unternehmenserfolg verbundenen Probleme anhand zahlreicher (29)
empirischer Untersuchungen zunachst untersucht, welcher Nutzen den
Kosten der Corporate Social Performance gegenubersteht bzw. welchen
Beitrag zu den Unternehmenszielen diese zu leisten vermag. Dabei
wird deutlich, dass die Unternehmensgrosse bedeutenden Einfluss auf
den Nutzen sowie die Gestaltung von CSP-Massnahmen hat, weshalb in
einem Kapitel explizit
How did social work evolve as a profession in the United States?
Stanley Wenocur and Michael Reisch examine the history of social
work and provide a theoretical model of professionalization for
analyzing its development. They offer a provocative view of
American social work as an enterprise seeking exclusive control
over the definition, production, and distribution of an essential
commodition. Now in paperback for the first time, From Charity to
Enterprise sets the professionalization of social work into a
dynamic social context. The explicit political and economic
framework of Wenocur and Reisch's model enables the authors to
examine how various subgroups within social work lost or gained
control of the professional enterprise at various points.
