An Invitation to Debunk: Posing Sociological Questions to Understand Social WorkCases
Abstract
Problem solving and decision-making skills can be developed by involving students in the synthesizing, evaluating and analyzing of real world cases of the disenfranchised. In this article, the author provides three very different and original social work cases he wrote that can be studied, debated and understood through the discipline of sociology. The questions after each case require the students to apply sociological theorizing to explore relationships between individuals and groups and social institutions. Finding answers to these questions, students are led to realize that things are not always as they seem.
