Titolo: "unadulterated Marxist rubbish"

Visto e considerato quanto descritto da questo articolo, qualcuno
riesce a spiegare quali benefici derivano, per  un assistente sociale,
dallo studiare la teoria marxista?

Give me a student undertaking a three year social work degree,
consisting of the most unadulterated Marxist rubbish, and I will give
you a social worker who puts their warped ideology ahead of the
interests of those they are paid to serve.
 
There are 22,050 children's social workers in England. Nobody can join
them without a social work degree. Somebody who might have the most
impressive practical experience is prohibited from joining unless they
have first subjected themselves to the degrading thought control.
Endless stuff about how they need to consider the individual cases
they are dealing with in the "context" of how the capitalist system
must be overthrown.
 
Frankly it is astonishing that there are as any good social workers as
there are. I have met several who cheerfully admit to cynicism about
all the nonsense they had to learn before being allowed to get on with
their mission of saving children.
 
That does not alter the astonishing harm that is done by the
requirement to have this qualification or the odious nature of its
content.
 
The regulatory body for social workers is the Health & Care
Professions.  Its mushy Standards of proficiency includes plenty of
code words from the Left:
 
5 be aware of the impact of culture, equality and diversity on
practice
5.1 be able to reflect on and take account of the impact of
inequality, disadvantage and discrimination on those who use social
work services and their communities
5.2 understand the need to adapt practice to respond appropriately to
different groups and individuals
5.3 be aware of the impact of their own values on practice with
different groups of service users and carers
5.4 understand the impact of different cultures and communities and
how this affects the role of the social worker in supporting service
users and carers
 
6 be able to practise in a non-discriminatory manner
6.1 be able to work with others to promote social justice, equality
and inclusion
6.2 be able to use practice to challenge and address the impact of
discrimination, disadvantage and oppression.
 
Some may just shrug off these bland references. We're all against
oppression, aren't we? Although a bit odd to see this in a job
description. Supporting social justice? Didn't Iain Duncan Smith set
up a think tank about it?
 
I'm afraid that if Mr Duncan Smith, or anyone else with his
interpretation of social justice, decided to become a social worker
and expressed himself honestly in his essays he would have difficulty
qualifying. He might wish to avoid Liverpool Hope University where Dr
Michael Lavalette is the Professor of Social Work. Dr Lavalette is a
member of the Socialist Workers Party and runs their front
organisation the  Social Work Action Network. This consists of
denouncing social workers that do their jobs rather than spending time
on "solidarity", "collective action" and "building alliances."
 
What about those Conservatives seeking a career in social work
choosing Bath University to secure the necessary qualifications? There
it's Dr Mark Baldwin who is the senior lecturer. He is keen on:
 
Radical social work practice – history, current renewed interest and
development within social work organisations and collective
organisations. This includes an exploration of the re-emergence of
interest in social work as a political activity and of community
focused social work as a manifestation of a more radical practice.
 
Last year The Guardian offered some tips for social work students from
Professor Peter Beresford of Brunel University:
 
Join the union, your professional association and get involved in the
new College of Social Work. Build alliances with other professionals,
work at strengthening the team you are in. Get their strength around
you. Learn from the Social Work Action Network and build links with
service users and their organisations.
 
Manchester University and the University of Central Lancashire
sponsored a conference for their social work students to attend at
Liverpool University with various far left speakers on how to link
social work to assorted "struggles" involving the "Stop the War
Coalition", the trade unions and resisting deportations. I think we
get the picture.
 
A paper by Birmingham University about the history of their social
work courses notes this type of thinking is well established:
 
The late 1960s and early 1970s was a period of global radical
political action. This had an influence on social work education and
practice. Radical social work texts emerged analysing the structural
and political positions of social work clients and critiquing social
casework as the dominant method of practice. The social work teaching
at Birmingham moved in 1973 from a
social casework focus to a ‘unitary model’ approach. An approach
designed to educate students about the range of political, economic,
social and personal systems which impacted on clients lives as well as
the range of techniques and strategies needed to work with them.
 
If we are attempting to bring on the revolution the decisions of
social workers suddenly become explicable. It is not about the needs
of the individual but building collective resistance. The evidence is
that children in care thrive at boarding schools. But could the social
workers collaborate with the class enemy?
 
The social work preoccupation with an ethnic match in adoption has no
basis of being in the interests of the child. But for the
revolutionary left, racial antagonism is a means to bring about social
change. Black identity is about the struggle, smashing the system. Why
the social worker preference for constantly returning a child to their
biological parent(s) to face more abuse rather than adoption? It's
about the class system. It tends to mean returning a child to a
council block rather than a new life in an affluent middle class home.
How would that help speed up the crisis?
 
Let's remember that bursaries, financed by the taxpayer, to undertake
these social work courses come to £70 million a year. This funding
should cease.
 
I would be surprised if the Education Secretary Michael Gove regards
the current arrangement for qualifying to be a social worker as
entirely satisfactory. However there is the complication that the
Universities Minister David Willetts is desperately craven.
 
What is needed is to end the ban on those without a social work degree
practising as social workers. A local authority or agency should be
able to take a broader view on who would do a good job. This might be
a young recruit with a good degree in another subject (any other
subject!) than social work who could then serve an apprenticeship
before being given individual responsibilities. It might be a charity
worker with a proven record of success. Or someone who has been a
social worker abroad.
 
Very sensibly, free schools (and soon academies) are allowed to employ
teachers without a formal teaching qualification from a Teacher
Training College. If, for example, someone has been a fantastic
teacher at an independent school for years but doesn't have Qualified
Teaching Status (QTS) it's absurd to prohibit them from state schools.
Similarly if  a couple who have been exemplary foster carers for seven
years decided they wanted to become social workers is that really less
of a qualification than enduring years of indoctrination in Marxist
theories?
 
To paraphrase Ronald Reagan it's not that those who have taken the
social work degree are ignorant, "it's just that they know so much
that isn't so." I repeat that many social workers are decent practical
people who manage to some extent to forget the theories and get on
with the job. Such "sell outs" are a grave disappointment to their old
professors. Other social workers keep the faith rigidly maintaining
all the dogmas inculcated in them without being distracted by reality.
 
Social workers should not have social work degree courses inflicted
upon them.

CVD, fuffa fascia


Bombacci, stai parlando del partito di Churchill, senza il quale non
si vinceva la guerra contro i fasci. E BTW stai cambiando discorso. Si
vede che la domanda ti mette a disagio,

 si vinceva la guerra contro i fasci
 
quando Churchill dopo la fuga ignominiosa di Dunkerque si è affacciato
oltre Manica, l'Armata Rossa aveva già spazzato via metà dei nazi.
Stacci

 oltre Manica, l'Armata Rossa
 
mangiava cibo in scatola del commonwealth, consegnate attraverso il
corridoio di Tehran.

 quando Churchill
 
stai parlando di altro.
Allora: per un assistente sociale, che utilita' ha studiare la fuffa
marxista?


1) chi lo dice che si studia la "fuffa" marxista? Uno vicino al
partito di sociopatici della Thatcher?
2) cosa sarebbe la fuffa marxista, dire che il disagio sociale ha,
appunto, origini sociali?

 2) cosa sarebbe la fuffa marxista,
 
"stronzate secondo cui ogni abuso terminerebbe con la fine della
societa' capitalista. And you have to pretend you believe"
 
Allora: e' roba utile per un assistente sociale?

 societa' capitalista. "
 
stai continuando a citare la merda fascista di Murdoch. Io sto
aspettando da tre giorni corposa ("ettolitri" dice il credente in cose
inesistenti) bibliografia di corsi universitari inglesi che scrivono
certe cose.

 stai continuando a citare
 
un articolo del Times. Ma Namib ha generosamente fornito un altro
articolo, dove trovi corpose citazioni della predetta monnezza
marxista.
 
Ma anche senza quelle citazioni, non dovrebbe essere difficile per te,
che sei un devoto di quella religione, spiegare a noi scettici dove
starebbero i vantaggi, per un assistente sociale, che derivano dalla
lettura della predetta fuffa.
Oppure non riesci a trovarle, queste ragioni? Che fai, porti acqua al
mulino di Murdoch dicendo che non ce ne sono?
 
 
 

 Oppure non riesci a trovarle, queste ragioni?
 
a differenza di chi crede quia absurdum in esseri inesistenti, io
giudico quello che esiste, non quello che non c'è. Allora, questi
libri che secondo il giornale del fascista Murdoch sarebbero fuffa
marxista esistono o no?
 


aha. E come mai ti sei messo in testa che questo si applichi
all'ebraismo?
(non serve che rispondi, pippaiolo)
 
 
 
 


da dove viene la credenza in un essere inesistente?


dovresti definire bene l'aggettivo "inesistente". Il materialismo
dialettico applicato alla biologia, per esempio, esiste oppure no?
