Question 1

An example of an &#34;unearned privilege&#34; is Whiteness.

Accepted Answer

Whiteness is often considered an unearned privilege because individuals who are white benefit from systemic advantages and privileges that are not afforded to those who are not white, simply because of their skin color. This is not something that white individuals have necessarily earned or achieved, but rather a result of social structures and historical discrimination.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Social work practice is not value free as social workers bring their own values and biases to their work. Social workers must be knowledgeable about ethical decision making to ensure that they are making decisions that are in the best interest of their clients and the ethical standards of the profession. Seeking legal help may be necessary, but it is not always the best course of action, as legal standards may not always align with ethical standards in social work.

The term symbiotic refers to the mutual needs of individuals and the systems that matter to them. This can include relationships between organisms, but also extends to human systems such as families, organizations, and communities. It is not limited to specific relationships between mothers and children or infants and their environments, and has broader implications for understanding how people interact within their social and ecological contexts. Option A and C are limited in their scope, focusing specifically on mother-child or infant-environment relationships. Option D is unrelated to the concept of symbiosis.

The case of the Elderly Client and his Adult Child illustrates:&#8203;&#10;A)an ethical policy&#10;B)a moral decision&#10;C)an ethical dilemma&#10;D)NASW standards

This case presents a conflict between two ethical values, autonomy and beneficence, creating an ethical dilemma. The client has autonomy to make his own decisions about his healthcare and living arrangement, but the social worker also has to ensure the client's safety and well-being.
