English Advanced post-industrial countries manifest values change in the direction of greater secularity and self-actualization.

This article explores why the regression is occurring and its negative implications for social welfare policy development and practice.

The Relationship

Because social welfare policy tends to be among the least-preferred courses in the social work curriculum, using contemporary films to augment the course content may help students gain awareness of the nature of the relationship between micro- and macro-level social work. Films may also help to bring abstract policy concepts into a more grounded and focused format. The purpose of this article is to explore the use of contemporary film in teaching social welfare policy in courses by presenting three films as case examples along with suggested discussion questions for each. The article concludes by discussing a framework and criteria for the selection and use of films for social work curricula.

Ethical Obligations

Social workers frequently encounter conflicts of duty in their work with individuals, families, communities and organizations, and in the design and implementation of social welfare policy. They need to carefully assess these divided loyalties before judging that some ethical obligations take precedence over others.
