SOCIAL WORK (Old definition)
Reporter:
Camille Tio
What is Need?
A need or a problem becomes social work’s point of entry into the life of another person or
group of persons.
Need
– defined as a condition or situation in which something necessary or desirable is required or
wanted.
When a person’s need has not been met or there are obstacles to its fulfillment so that the
person’s capability to function satisfactorily is threatened or impaired, it becomes a
problem.
Why needs are controversial

The Concept of Equity and equality
Are two strategies we can use in an effort to produce
fairness.
Don't stereotype
Every individual, no matter their background, race, religion, sexual
orientation, or any other factor, thinks differently.
It is about understanding how larger societal issues and the deeper historical
context can directly influence their clients’ lives.

A. Neoliberal Social Welfare
Reporter:

Liberalism
1. Privatization
As it aims to reduce the government’s role in the
economy, promote market competition, and improve
efficiency in the delivery of goods and services. It’s
often done with the belief that private ownership can
lead to better economic outcomes and innovation.
Key Concepts of Neoliberalism
4. Deregulation
To allow market forces to act regulating
mechanisms.
Neoliberal policies tend to reduce regulations in
labor markets and industries, aiming to create a
more competitive environment. Critics argue this
can sometimes lead to labor exploitation and
reduced worker protections.
