1) Answer 3 questions based on the required reading (chapter 5 in the book called â Social Work Skills Workbookâ (Cournoyer,8th Edition). And the scenario below related to practicing from a non-judgmental Approach. (3 pages)
Imagine that you serve as a supervisor in a nonsectarian social services agency that provides social and counseling services to families and children of all kinds and compositions. One of the professionals you supervise is a relatively young social worker who has worked in the agency for just a few weeks. During one of your early supervisory meetings, you begin to discuss a case that you plan to assign to her. The case involves a lesbian couple who recently migrated to your community. They want professional help to accomplish two goals: First, they want to get married. They want to know if gay marriage is legal in this state and, if it is not, how and where they can go to become legally married couple. Second, they hope to have a child â preferably through artificial insemination or, if that fails, through adoption. They would like help in discussing these issues and making plans to accomplish these goals. As you describe the case, the young social worker says, âIâm sorry, I am a religious person believes that homosexuality is a sin and gay marriage is simply wrong.â
Questions:
As the young social workerâs supervisor,
a) What would you identify as the ethical issues in this situation?
b) What would you advise her to consider?
c) What would you suggest that she do?
For parts 2) and 3), please incorporate other relevant, outside readings to the responses.

Sample Solution
Overall, I believe terrorism lends itself to constructivist understanding because, as I have explored in this essay, it does not exist outside of our subjective reality but instead relies on human engagement for legitimacy and existence. Although a social fact, this does not mean it is any less real and often it is recognized and agreed upon by political organizations and institutions. After analysing how constructivists view the world and in turn, the war on terror it clarifies how terrorism fits into the constructivist framework. By moving away from a state-centric outlook, constructivists claim the west react to terrorism based on how they socially construct the concept of a terrorist. Following the attack of 9/11 we can understand why terrorism lends itself more so to constructivism than it does to any traditional IR theories as there was a need for non-material insight into the seemingly irrational actions of this new transnational group. By giving us an understanding of how agents can influence another agents action and how these actions interact and evolve, constructivism offers an insight into phenomena considered anomalous by mainstream theory. Constructivist perspective allows us to unpack the views of a terrorist group in order to begin understanding how its members shared sense of propriety engenders observed behaviour over time and explains why such behaviour runs contrary to that which is anticipated by the traditional theories. By considering the changing nature of self-interest with its non- material determinants, the role of identity in defining actors and the problems in cooperation and coordination faced by traditional theories, âconstructivism seems a better-developed theoretical lens in terms of explaining global terrorism and its impact on changing state behaviourâ[25]. Terrorism lends itself to constructivist understanding because it is a social problem that cannot exist independent of the ideas of the people involved in it.>
