Read the passage given below and answer the following questions (46-50) as per the understanding of the passage.
Traditionally, many of the human service agencies have focused on trying to better understand the biological/psychological or environmental risk factors that increase the likelihood of the development or maintenance of risk behaviour and the potential implications for prevention. Interventions that are based on the deficit, problems, or pathologies of individuals tend to direct the attention of professionals to only one view of the person. This in turn has led to the conclusion that community or school intervention and prevention programs need to focus on risk reduction by helping those they serve to develop more effective coping strategies or alignment with prescribed support resources.
The emphasis on deficits or what a person is lacking, leads to a cycle of focusing only on what needs to be repaired followed by a reliance on prescribed resources or assumed solutions. However, when care providers or organizations act as experts on resolving the problems of people, we deny and limit those particular individuals facing the problem the opportunity to explore what strengths and capacities they might have in the process of exploring, participating, taking control and learning.
Strengths-based approaches concentrate on the inherent strengths of individuals, families, groups and organisations, deploying personal strengths to aid recovery and empowerment. The strengths approach as a philosophy of practice draws one away from an emphasis on procedures, techniques and knowledge as the keys to change. It reminds us that every person, family, group and community holds the key to their own transformation and meaningful change process. The real challenge is and always has been whether we are willing to fully embrace this way of approaching or working with people. If we do, then the change needs to start with us, not with those we serve.
Embracing a strength based approach involves a different way of thinking about people and of interpreting their patterns of coping with life challenges. With a strength based mindset, one asks different questions and communicates in ways that invites a curious exploration based upon a clear set of values and attitudes. The belief that “the problem is the problem; the person is not the problem” is an important point to understand from a strengths perspective. Rather than framing the person as the problem, one approaches individuals as being affected by or robbed of opportunities by the problem.
The strengths-based cycle begins with a more holistic focus that includes an emphasis on a person’s strengths and resources (internal and external) in the process of change. When challenges are experienced, problems and issues are acknowledged and validated, and strengths are identified and highlighted. This strengths exploration changes the story of the problem as it creates positive expectations that things can be different and opens the way for the development of competencies.

(1) To understand development or maintenance of risk behaviour.

(3) Individuals facing problems are denied the opportunity to explore their strengths and capacities.
(4) Reliance on prescribed resources.
48. What is the point of departure of the strength based approach from that of the traditional intervention approaches of social work ?
(1) It concentrates on the inherent strengths of the individuals, families, groups and organizations.
(2) It embraces a different way of thinking about people.
(3) It lays less emphasis on procedures, techniques and knowledge as the keys to change.
(4) It is based on the belief that the problem is the problem, the person is not the problem.
49. How would you understand the belief “the problem is problem; the person is not the problem” from a strength perspective ?
(1) The person is not responsible for the problem.
(2) The problem has to be assessed by itself rather than the individual.
(3) Person is framed as the problem.
(4) Problem affects or robs the individual of opportunities.
