Read the passage given below and answer the following questions (71-75) as per understanding of the passage :
The need for an alternative to conventional social work is more obvious today than ever before. Given its acceptance of our present social order and its emphasis on reform of the individual and limited social reform, conventional social work appears powerless to deal with the increasing social problems that have already overloaded a diminishing welfare state.
With the social discontent fomented in the 1960s, social workers were critiqued as being a part of the problem by choosing to emphasize casework as a model of practice, an approach that perpetuated the pathologizing of clients. Furthermore, social workers were viewed as helping clients to “accept and adapt to basically unjust social structures” with the profession being “nothing else but a professionally elitist activity that mystified, infantilized and disempowered clients”.
Structural social work reveals the shortcoming of welfare capitalism as a social system and shows how conventional social work has failed to respond to systemic social problems. The structural model demands that social workers “abandon their social control function to involve themselves in institutional and structural change”. Emphasis shifted to seeking more collaborative, dialogical relationships, rather than top-down, expert models with service users.
Structural social work is part of a critical, progressive tradition that has been concerned with the broad socio-economic and political dimensions of society, especially the effects of capitalism, and the impact of these influences in creating unequal relations amongst individuals. Its primary goals have been to reduce social inequality through the transformation of Western, Euro-Centric civilizations and the emancipation of those who have been oppressed. The lens of this theoretical approach has been focused on the interplay between the agency of individuals and structures, particularly the broad structural barriers which influence and limit the material circumstances of service users.
Structural social work theory begins from a conflict, rather than an order perspective. The theory regards society as composed of groups with conflicting interests who compete for resources, power, and the imposition of their own ideological views. In this perspective, social problems are more the result of “defective rules” which pathologize those who are marginalized and the consequence of institutional arrangements which maintain social hierarchies, rather than faulty socialization of individuals.
Structures refer to “social regularities and objective patterns external to individual action, intentions, and meanings, and not reducible to the sum of those meanings or actions”, specifically both institutional arrangements and broad social relational patterns such as racism and sexism.
71. Structural social work is a departure from the conventional social work in the sense that
(1) It demands social workers to get involved in institutional and structural change by abandoning their social control function.
(2) Emphasize on more collaborative and dialogical relationships.
(3) It denounces top-down expert models with service users.
(4) It shows how conventional social work has failed to respond to systemic problems.
72. The major concerns of structural social work are
(1) To focus on the interplay between agency of individuals and structures.
(2) To reduce social inequality by containing effects of capitalism.
(3) Emancipation of those who have been oppressed.
(4) Transformation of Western, Euro-centric civilizations
73. Structure social work views social problems as –
(1) Faulty socialization of individuals
(2) A consequence of individual arrangements
(3) A result of defective rules
(4) A manifestation of maintenance of social hierarchies
74. Structural social work theory conceptualizes structures as –
(1) Institutional arrangements and social relational patterns
(2) Individual action, intentions and meaning
(3) A sum of meanings or actions of an individual
(4) Social regularities and objective patterns in terms of institutional arrangements and relational patterns.
75. Why do we need an alternative to the conventional social work ?
(1) Conventional social work is powerless
(2) As social problems have increased with the diminishing welfare state
(3) As its emphasis is more on reform of the individual than present social order.
(4) Acceptance to present social order.
