Social Work:Epitome of Humanity

As many authors defines, social work in their own language, but in simple terms it means, “A person or group of persons work for the betterment of society to help people develop their skills and their ability to use their resources and the same for the community to resolve problems."

According to me, social work is a practice-based profession and an academic discipline concerned with helping individuals, families, groups, and communities to promotes social change and development, social cohesion and the empowerment and liberation of people. Social work is such a profession which brings change not only in society but the change in one's own life, it is such a profession where person strongly put its points, he is able to see what is right or what is wrong and not afraid to take stand against wrong things.

As we have been witnessed if any injustice happened with any group of persons the first who take charge to ensure that justice to be provided to a needy person or victim by putting pressure on the police, using different social media platforms for spreading awareness among other citizens and sometimes also take help of media resources. As it can’t be denied to say that it not only promotes social change but it uplifts one's own development and in the upcoming time it would be considered one of the best professions for individuals which ultimately resulted in social development. It is evident that many revolutionary social workers have grown up in India and brought revolutionary change for the betterment of the country.
