Does the article encourage the reader to view the issue through an institutional lens or residual?

by

USE TEXTBOOK: Hicks. and Stokes, J. (2016). Social Work in Canada: An Introduction (4th ed.). Toronto: Thompson Educational Publishing.

This THREE page paper (double-spaced) requires you to both grapple with relevant themes and debates explored in SOWK 110, as well as position yourself more firmly within these debates. This paper flows from your proposal and is connected to the third assignment, the micro-presentation.

Procedure: This assignment will help maximize the opportunity for students to analyze social work and social services issues within the context of everyday realities. For this assignment, students will provide a deeper analysis of the news story that you selected for your proposal.
In their paper, students should clearly indicate their understandings of concepts, perspectives and debates that directly flow from this course. More specifically, the reader should have a clear understanding of how various concepts (such as residual versus institutional models of welfare, professional values and ethics, historical and current events, and so on) come to bear on an analysis of the news story you have selected.
Structure your paper around the following headings/themes/criteria
a) Summary: Provide a BRIEF one paragraph summary of the article/story in your own words. Only summarize the key and important facts. (3 marks)

b) Significance to social work: In two paragraphs, describe why this story is important to social services and social work. Why is it important for social workers to be aware of this issue? How does it relate to the mandate of social work (as outlined in Chapter 1 of the text). (4 marks)
c) Historical context: In one to two paragraphs, can you describe the historical context and significance of this issue? Is this social issue/news story connected to historical events, past income security programs, past policies etc? Keeping in mind that views/opinions about social issues change over time, is there something we can learn from looking at the history of this issue/policy etc within Canada? (3 marks)
d) Social welfare models/ideology: In two to three paragraphs, address how this news story relates to different models of welfare. In other words, how does the social issue you’ve chosen to highlight relate to the concept of institutional and residual models of welfare? Does the article encourage the reader to view the issue through an institutional lens or residual? Is the article promoting the idea of a collective response to the issue or an individual response? Does the article see the issue as stemming from problems within society or problems within the individual? (5 marks)
e) Social work practice: In two to three paragraphs, can you discuss the implications of this issue for social work practice? For example, are there things to think about in terms of micro/mezzo/macro practice? Or, perhaps there are particular professional values/ethics that are particularly important here? Or, are there particular roles that social workers could play in addressing this issue? 4 marks)
(Plus 4 marks for writing ability and citation)
Please note that this is not a ‘traditional’ research paper (in that you do not need to be collecting reams of research), but—depending on your topic and analysis—secondary research might, to some degree, be necessary.
One of the objectives of this assignment is to “show off” your grasp of concepts covered in this course, as well as your familiarity with the SOWK 110 textbook. In other words, the primary resource for this assignment should be the course textbook.
NOTE: Paper exemplars will be posted on Blackboard.
You will be required to substantiate your points made in your paper by
citing/using secondary sources (e.g. course readings, peer reviewed articles, and
so on).
