I’m a psych major, but I am taking intro to social working and I really enjoy it. It has its connections to psychology but it also has its own school of thought. So some lectures I am in agreement with the professor, other lectures not so much. I am surprised how politically conservative my professor is. I assumed, even though I shouldn’t have, that social workers as a whole would be more liberal. But it seems almost to be the opposite. I have come to gather that social workers feel that social welfare programs are degrading society and creating dependence on the government as opposed to dependence on themselves.
