NEEDS VS. RIGHTS DEF: “The primary mission of the social work profession is to enhance human well-being and help meet the basic human needs of all people, with particular attention to the needs and empowerment of people who are vulnerable, oppressed and living in poverty…” Rights focus brings accountability, entitlements, obligations

MACRO VS. MICRO PRACTICE Push for licensure Professionalization of the field Private practice Reimbursement from insurance

UNIVERSALISM VS. CULTURAL RELATIVISM Cultural competency standards Value cultural diversity Work with diverse populations
