Theories of social work Social work is a profession based on practices and educational ventures that encourage social advancement or change, societal integration, freedom of people, and their general progress. Human rights and responsibilities, canons of social justice, and social responsibility are the backbones of social work (Craib,2015). This kind of work focuses on assisting the less fortunate in society. There are several theories for social work; these theories are backed up by scientific evidence. Arguments of social work illustrate the behavior of humans by explaining the way human beings interact and respond to various stimuli. Social work theories include the systems learning theory, the psychosocial development theory, and rational choice theory, among others.  The social work theories have numerous benefits hence their great importance.

SCM and Sustainability Question 8-A             The most critical environmental and social impacts of cocoa production and harvesting include deforestation and child-labor. According to Aboa and Angel (2019), deforestation happens as there is no more land where people can plant cocoa trees. Therefore, the farmers result in cutting down trees from the rainforest, a phenomenon that causes soil erosion and thwarts rainfall production in the region. This scenario is similar to the message in “The Story of Stuff,” as Leonard (2009) maintains it involves poor disposal of waste. Therefore, farmers in cutting trees demonstrate the inability to rehabilitate land for cocoa production. The other challenge stems from the increase in the number of cases concerning child labor. In this connection, O’keefe (2016) argues that even though chocolate producing companies had committed to end the practice, they have not been successful. O’keefe (2016) adduces children below fifteen years of age work at the cocoa farm. The majority of those kids are not offered the correct compensation that matches their input. Question 8-B Big brands such as Nestle, Mars, Unilever, and Starbucks…

Enraged by the social differences between the haves and the haves not, impartials criticized the traditional free economy of Locke and Adam Smith for dwelling on civil liberties while ignoring the position of the ordinary citizen. Also he proposes a concept which demands that we augment economic presumption for the ordinary citizen. Also, Rawls suggests a conceiving of fairness he calls “Justice as fairness”                                              that devotes to both the human rights we relate with traditional freedom, and to an unbiased perfection of equitability dissemination customarily related to socialists and revolutionary democratic culture. Justice as fairness, Rawls says, that it focuses to impact a reunion of freedom and equality. His work has provided the groundwork for all successive debates about essential interrogation of social justice. Rawls main point is that we should renounce the…

Wrongful arson Convictions For many years or even decades, forensic science has been praised for having important contributions to the world of criminal justice.  However, it has also been highly scrutinized for the documented cases where it was used shoddily or incorrectly. Undoubtedly, progress in fire investigation, which is one of the fields of scientific inquiry, is held by the burden of ingrained mythology. Therefore, like the United States of America (USA) and Great Britain, other nations like Qatar have also exonerated many individuals from wrongful arson convictions. According to Bieber (2014), the wrongful arson convictions are classified in two, namely: “no crime” cases and wrong suspect (pg. 32). For that reason, it will be essential to understand and discuss a few flawed of science previously used in arson investigation (arson myths) and guidelines of the NFPA 921 guide. In the article, Bieber suggested in cases where conclusions are based on Suspicious Burn Pattern, Negative Corpus, Unconfirmed Accelerant Detecting Canines Alert and Unsupported Elimination of Electrical Appliances have indicated a clear violation of the scientific approach (Bieber, pg. 38, 2014).…
