This area of the Code of Ethics raises questions for me about how you might handle a situation because it says that there may be no simple answers which I agree with. But like it says in the passage if you go back to the ethical values, standards and principles and apply it to the tough situation it can make it easier. I believe if I went through those steps there can be a simple answer for most situations throughout social work even though the tough times.

This area in the Code of Ethics seems relevant a situation that I have experienced doing volunteering or field work because every type of work that I have volunteered in or done relating to social work field experience was on the behalf of vulnerable and oppressed individuals and groups of people. That is why I like the field of social work because I get to help people in issues of oppression. poverty, unemployment etc. When I volunteered with habitat for Humanity, we worked with oppressed families that were homeless and in poverty and provided the adults and their children free clothes, shoes, food etc. to help them in their tough situations that they were facing. I start my internship with PRAB next month but at the orientation she explained that we will be helping predominately Hispanic 3rd and 6th graders afterschool to get their homework done and set them up for success. Black and Hispanic students do not always get the attention that they need especially if they live in low-income neighborhoods and not the best areas but that is what we are there for to encourage them and help them with their school needs. When it said, "Social workers strive to ensure access to needed information, services, and resources; equality of opportunity; and meaningful participation in decision making for all people". It is the truth because as social workers we make sure every good opportunity is presented and we strive to ensure that all individuals and family's needs are met regardless of what situation they are in.
