RE: Discussion 2 - Week 4

There are several strategies that are important for social workers to use when advocating for social change. When a worker is advocating for social change they must be knowledgeable with what they are advocating for. A person must have cross cultural awareness as they understand how everything act and interact with one another in the cultural environment's (Northouse, 2013). Another strategy a social worker may use to advocate for social change is being humane orientated which help to focus on the worker demonstrating sensitivity behaviors to other people. With displaying sensitivity it allows clients to feel more comfortable and build a rapport as they feel the worker understand their issues and concerns (Northouse, 2013). With utilizing these two strategies it allows the social worker to be open-minded able to understand the social change and focus on the views for future.
