Document Summary
Values have shaped and formed our understanding and ideas of social welfare today. Individual experiences clash with discourse and value systems. These identities constitute our mainstream idea of what well-being is. When people are outside of that we say they are marginalized or outside. Social workers tend to think of these others as the client, meanwhile the social worker. We want to create opportunities for ppl to t into mainstream. As policy analysts we are constantly putting people from the margins to the dominant status rather than blurring the lines, changing the status quo maintain power. You can"t tell much about a society from income data alone, you need to look at relative incomes b/w poor ppl and rich people to really understand a society. If some ppl have a lot and other ppl have none, exclusion is more signi cant. Causes a ton of risk factors that ppl experience.
