Some prominent theories and approaches include: - Psychodynamic Approach: Focuses on understanding group members' unconscious thoughts and feelings to facilitate positive change. - Cognitive-Behavioral Approach: Emphasizes the role of group members' thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in shaping their experiences and outcomes. - Stress-Coping Model: Examines how groups cope with stress and crisis, and how to develop effective coping strategies. - Ferber's Model: Centers on the role of social support and relationships in promoting individual and group well-being. - Yalom's Group Therapy: Highlights the importance of group factors such as group cohesion, communication, and feedback in promoting therapeutic change. Definition of Social Group Work Social group work is a planned process of creating a small social unit for the purpose of achieving social, emotional, and economic goals. It involves working with a group of people who share common interests, needs, or circumstances, with the goal of promoting positive change and development. Advantages and Disadvantages of Social Group Work Social group work has several advantages, including: - Promotes social interaction and networking - Fosters a sense of community and belonging - Provides a safe space for sharing and emotional support - Encourages skill-building and empowerment - Cost-effective and efficient However, social group work also has some disadvantages, such as: - Can be time-consuming and resource-intensive - May not be suitable for all individuals or situations - Can be challenging to manage and facilitate - May lead to conflicts or group dynamics issues - Can be difficult to measure effectiveness Medium of Change, Target of Change, Agent of Change - Medium of Change: The method or approach used to bring about change, such as education, counseling, or advocacy. - Target of Change: The individual, group, or community being served, such as children, adults, or communities. - Agent of Change: The person or group responsible for bringing about change, such as social workers, teachers, or community leaders. How Groups Effect Change (Dorwin Cartwright, 1953) A. The group as MEDIUM of change "the target of change: individual member source of influence: the group ▪ social worker guides group processes to achieve goals B. The group as TARGET of change the group as a whole or aspects/conditions of the group may have to be changed in order to change individual members (size, composition, climate, structure, etc.) C. The group as AGENT of change "Group efforts aim to modify or redirect features/forces in its social environment which makes demands, create pressures, and impose constraints on the group, thus adversely affecting its development and goal achievement (techniques: information, persuasion, negotiation, bar confrontation etc. Types of Groups There are several types of groups in social work, including: - Therapeutic Groups: Designed to promote emotional and behavioral change, such as support groups or therapy groups. - Educational Groups: Focus on teaching new skills or knowledge, such as workshops or classes. - Recreational Groups: Provide opportunities for leisure activities and socialization, such as clubs or teams. - Advocacy Groups: Focus on promoting social change or advocating for a particular cause or group, such as coalitions or networks. - Self-Help Groups: Led and maintained by group members, who take an active role in their own support and development. According to Robert Merton reference groups are those groups which are the referring points of the individuals, towards which he is oriented and which influence pinion, tendency haviour.The individual funded by PEER GROUP A peer group is made up of individuals of relatively equal status with whom the individual interacts frequently. It is a group with members of approximately the same age, social status, and interests. Generally, people are in relative terms of power when they are with peers. Examples of primary groups are families, friends, peers, neighbors, classmates, sororities, fraternities, and church members. These groups are marked by primary relationships in which communication is informal. Members of primary groups have strong emotional ties. They also relate to one another as whole and unique individuals. In contrast, secondary groups are those in which individuals do not interact much. Members of secondary groups are less personal or emotional than those of primary groups. These groups are marked by secondary relationships in which SECONDARY GROUPS The term secondary group has come into use in sociology to describe any group which lacks one or more of the elements that go together to characterize a primary group. In general, a secondary group is composed of individuals who lacks strong emotional ties with one another Gang A gang is usually an urban group that gathers in a particular area. It is a group of people that often hang around each other. They can be like some clubs, but much less formal. They are usually known in many count cause social unrest and also me law vi tive influence on the nay be a target for the case of any social Squad This is usually a small group, of around 3 to 15 people, who work as a team to accomplish their goals. Team similar to a squad, though a team may contain many more members. A team works in a similar way to a squad. 4 areas of focus in CI (Kanter, 1996) Initial phase-engagement, assessment, planning Environmental focus - linking clients with community resources Client focus - intermittent psychotherapy, skill development Client-envi focus - Monitoring Types of Crisis in Group Work Crisis situations can arise in group work, including: - Group Chaos and Disruptions: When a group becomes unruly or uncontrollable. - Interpersonal Conflicts and Power Struggles: When group members experience conflicts or tension. - Feelings of Anxiety and Uncertainty: When group members feel stressed or uncertain about the group's direction or outcome. - Group Fatigue and Burnout: When group members experience emotional exhaustion or burnout. - Unexpected Events or Crises: When unexpected events or crises, such as natural disasters or program changes, occur. Importance of Group Dynamics Understanding group dynamics is crucial in social group work, as it can impact the success and effectiveness of the group. Key factors to consider include: - Group Cohesion and Unity: The degree to which group members feel connected and committed to the group. - Communication and Conflict Resolution: The ability of group members to communicate effectively and resolve conflicts in a constructive manner. - Leadership and Facilitation: The role of the group leader or facilitator in guiding the group and promoting positive outcomes. - Goal-Setting and Decision-Making: The process by which the group sets goals and makes decisions, and the impact of these processes on the group's dynamics.

FUNCTIONS 2.STRUCTURES 3.PROCESS FUNCTIONS Functions-The following are the social work administration functions: A. The means by which identified social needs are dealt with by appropriate social services, whether under public or private auspices. B. The societal action for improved or new services needed by specific groups or the community as a whole. There is decision-making at every level of administration. STRUCTURE The study of structure consists of: a. Studying it in relation to the organization as an element of administration. b. Knowing that the social welfare agency represents the organizational structure in social work administration PROCESS Social work administration is a continuous, dynamic, and total process of bringing together people, resources, and purposes to accomplish the agency goal of providing social services. As a process, it is based upon knowledge of human nature and human organization to establish and maintain a system of participative and cooperative effort at all levels of the organization. Trecker points out that as a process, social work administration has important dimensions that include: Coordination, cooperation, and participation are the means for achieving the organizational goals. Complementation-working and acting together- involves people taking part in organizational tasks for shared goals. A. Central dimension - This is the task of work assignment within the agency structure. There is a wide distribution of responsibility in the agency with the allocation of tasks and functions for every level of work. The community in which the agency works affects agency purposes and programs as it is the source of support as well as the object of service. B. Psychosocial Dimension - This presupposes that people release their feelings and energies and that these feelings and energies, when properly harnessed by administrators, constitute the human resources in achieving agency goals. CHARACTERISTICS OF ADMINISTRATION Administration is an important area in organized human activity. It has been considered a process, a method, or a set of relationships between and among people working toward common objectives in an organization. Every organization requires administration to function effectively to achieve its goals. Administration is necessary to orchestrate the myriad activities of the organization DEFINITION Herman Stein describes the concept of administration as the process of defining and attaining the objectives of the organization through a system of coordination and cooperative effort. Administration is a continuous process that leads to organizational growth and development. Administration, therefore, is a phenomenon occurring in governments, schools, business firms, labor unions, hospitals, and in any organized goal-seeking group of persons. 1. Administration is a human enterprise that involves the activity of the people in the organization. 2. It is a continuous, dynamic process for a common purpose or goal that is pursued through an uninterrupted, continuing interactive activity between and among the people in vertical and horizontal position in the organization. 3. The resources of people and materials are harnessed and coordinated to achieve organizational goals. 4. Leadership is implicit in administration. Leadership has been defined as the ability of an individual to influence, motivate, and enable others to contribute toward the effectiveness and success of the organization of which they are members. Leadership occurs at all levels of the organization. The task of leadership varies with the position that it occupies in the organizational hierarchy, be it at the top-level, mid-level, etc. ELEMENTS OF ADMINISTRATION Organization and management are the two primary elements of administration.Organization is the setting up of the framework or structure of the different units of the system to carry out or perform distinct tasks the attainment of the goals of administration. An organization comes into being when: a. there are persons able to communicate with each other, who are willing to contribute action, and c. to accomplish a common purpose. MANAGEMENT ✓ It is the activity that allocates and utilizes resources to achieve the goals of the organization. ✓It is the scientific utilization of manpower, money, machines, materials, methods, time and space and other resources for the attainment of organizational goal. It involves the tasks of establishing and maintaining an organizational climate or internal environment in which people working together in groups can perform effectively and efficiently towards the attainment of goals. Management is essential in all organized activity, as well as at all levels of an enterprise. It is undertaken by a manager who gets things done by working with people-and other resources to attain organizational objectives. It can be "conceptualized as various ways of shaping and exerting an influence over the work environment." As such, it is primarily proactive than a reactive activity. Management is the function of the university president and the army general, as well as the shop foreman and the social welfare agency supervisor. Social administration focuses on the policies, planning and administration of goods and services in relation to the political, social and economic institutions and to the determinants of the distribution of national resources to social welfare needs Social welfare administration refers more specifically to the administrative processes in social welfare agency, the formulation of its policies and plans, and their implementation into programs and services for specific client groups Social work administration is a method of social work concerned with the provision and distribution of societal resources so as to enable people to meet their needs and fulfill their potentials toward empowering their lives. It is assumed that in transforming social policies into programs and services, the social work administrator applies a synthesis of social work methods in the administrative processes.  Social work administration ▷ As a secondary method in social work, administration, according to Walter Friedlander, is based upon the principles and techniques of administration in general but addressed to the specific social work tasks of defining and solving human problems and satisfying human needs. Importance of Social Work Administration Social work administration is the keystone for maximizing the effectiveness of social work programs in the solution of social problems and in the betterment of social conditions for all people. Social work administration provides the framework for social work practice that relates it to other agency functions. The quality of social work practices is greatly influenced by social work administration. While communication, willingness to serve, and common purpose may be found in all organizations, efficiency and effectiveness would be essential for its continued existence OBJECTIVES: Define the administration, management, leadership -social administration -social welfare administration -social work administration Explain the various roles and functions of Social Work Administrator Demonstrate beginning competency in performing at least the following skills: analyzing, planning, organizing, monitoring & evaluation, resource mobilization and budgeting, facilitating meetings, conflict management Administration is an important area in organized human activity. It has been considered a process, a method, or a set of relationships between and among people working toward common objectives in an organization. Every organization requires administration to function effectively to achieve its goals. Administration is necessary to orchestrate the myriad activities of the organization "A social welfare agency is a structured framework within which the administrative tasks are carried out. It is an instrument of society, established through government initiative or through voluntary efforts to achieve a social goal. Peter Drucker outlines how a social welfare agency in its simplest form comes into being when "several people see an unmet need, want to meet that need, get community permission to meet that need, and accept legal responsibility for seeing that the resources secured, or made available, are used for the specific purpose for which they were given rather than for some other purpose TYPES OF SOCIAL WELFARE AGENCIES TRADITIONALLY, THE TYPES OF SOCIAL WELFARE AGENCIES INCLUDE: 1.GOVERNMENTAL OR PUBLIC AGENCIES - ORGANIZATIONS SUPPORTED BY PUBLIC FUNDS OR TAXES. 2. PRIVATE OR VOLUNTARY AGENCIES - ORGANIZATIONS SUPPORTED BY PRIVATE CONTRIBUTIONS OR DONATIONS OR INCOME FROM SERVICES. THESE ARE POPULARLY REFERRED TO AS NONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS (NGOS). 3. SEMI-GOVERNMENT OR QUASI-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS- ORGANIZATIONS THAT RECEIVE SOME FORM OF SUBSIDY, EITHER IN CASH OR KIND, FROM THE GOVERNMENT. Characteristics of Public Agencies The characteristics of public agencies are: 1. They are created through any of these: constitutional mandate, legislative act, executive order, presidential decree, or letter of instruction. 2. Their existence, functions, and programs are created by law or executive order, hence, may only be changed or modified by law or executive order. 3. Their organizational structure is bureaucratic and less flexible than private agencies. 4. They must conform with government procedures, especially the accounting and auditing of funds, property, and other resources Characteristics of Private Agencies 1. They are organized as a form of response of private organizations to meet people's needs in the community. 2. They may be national chapters of international organizations such as the Red Cross, Young Man Catholic Association (YMCA). World Vision, and others. 3. They may have been established by sectarian or non-sectarian organizations. 4. They are governed by their own charters, constitution and by-laws, and by a governing board. 5. Their organizational structures do not generally follow a bureaucratic pattern, and, therefore, are more flexible in their policies and programs that enable them to readily respond to people and community needs. 6. Private agencies can pioneer and initiate demonstration projects which may subsequently be turned over to the government. The latter can clopt the program on a larger scale with more available resources and organizational capacity. SIZE OF A SOCIAL WELFARE AGENCY The social welfare agency may be a small organization with a few people involved in the program or a complex social system involving a great number. For a large social welfare agency, the personnel would include administrators at various levels, professionals, members of different related professions, clerical, technical, and manual staff, as well as volunteers and paraprofessionals. COURSE: SW 311 Social Welfare Agency and Administration Module 2: Social Welfare Agency Administration and Culture Introduction General Learning Objective 1. Explicate the significance of integrating issues of gender in social administration. 2. Articulate how gender and culture influence social administration and management functions, structures and processes. Specific Learning objectives 1. Students will be solving the difference between sex and gender; 2. Students will categorize the differences on binary models, gender as culture, contextual model, and community models; 3. Finding the evolution of Mass communication; 4. Examining the effects of Mass communication since time immemorial. Topic 1 Gendered Communication Gendered communication is not only about women's language. Neither it is not an exercise in male-bashing or strictly researched from a liberal perspective. In order to understand the basics premises of gendered communication it is necessary to define certain terms related to it It is no secret that we are living in a transitional era. Attitudes about sex and gender are changing so fast it is hard to keep up. In addition, Canada is a culturally diverse society and living here we are often faced with difficult decisions as to what to do in situations when gendered cultural norms are unclear. Gendered communication has a long history-from religious texts to Mars and Venus. However, communication researchers have only been examining it for about 50 years. Initially, research centered on the differences between men and women's language styles. Building on that, we began to analyze the concepts of dominance and control. Today, most research in this area focuses on identity formation, multiplicities, and similarities. However, formal research is just one aspect of how we come to understand gendered communication Sex or Gender? While sex and gender are related, they are not the same. In early research on language styles, researchers relied on the term sex to describe the male or the female experiences Gendered communication has a long history- from religious texts to Mars and Venus.

Building on that, we began to analyze the concepts of dominance and control. Today, most research in this area focuses on identity formation, multiplicities, and similarities. However, formal research is just one aspect of how we come to understand gendered communication. Sex or Gender? While sex and gender are related; they are not the same. In early research on language styles, researchers relied on the term sex to describe the male or the female experiences. Sex refers most commonly to biological differences such as hormone levels and external genitalia. Sex is determined by the genetic combination of the X and Y chromosomes. Until recently (within the last 10 years) it was widely thought that a XX match produced a female and XY combination produced a male offspring. Michael E. N. Majerus, an evolutionary biologist, asks a simple question: "Is it the presence of a Y chromosome, that makes a male a male, or is it the absence of one of the X chromosomes?" (Majerus, 2003, p. 52) as cited by Pierce et'al (2019). He found that some ladybugs can produce a bacteria that kills the Y chromosome in the typical male's XY pair. Eliminating the Y and replacing it with the X produces a female. Consider the following genetic combinations for sex chromosomes in humans As social scientists, communication scholars understand that biology influences sexual identity but we also know that the environment is important. Pierce et al (2019) define gender in a broader category that focuses on how we perform the roles culture and society assigns to our sex. Therefore, gender is socially constructed, accepting the concept of the social construction of gender identity acknowledges that genders vary from culture to culture, and vary in relation to other genders. In other words, cultures create gender by giving social meanings to biological sex. In North America, for example, the cultural identity of male includes traits such as strength, power, individualism, money and success. For females this includes traits related to attractiveness, nurturing, relationships, and emotions. In communication we consider the gendered language styles. This includes both verbal and non-verbal language. Gendered styles of verbal and non-verbal communication start at birth, or before Humans are socialized into speech communities with distinctive norms and rules for behavior Colour codes like blue and pink influence the ways people talk and interact with babies. Nonetheless, once we begin to analyze and deconstruct these new gender neutral roles we can see that the same stereotypes still exist. It is true that society's attitudes are changing, but we are far from "neutral. Table 2 shows how far we are from being neutral Table 2 Gender Stereotypes in Play Girls Play house school, in smaller groups, with no clear-cut roles or rules. Girls use talk to include others, facilitating cooperation. Boys Play team sports or war games that are competitive, and organized using a hierarchical structure. Status is determined by being the best individual Topic 2: Theorizing Gender: From Differences to Community What to remember! Before the 1960's much of the sociolinguistic research about speech styles relied on a male-normative model. In other words, male speech patterns and styles were considered the normal patterns and women's styles were considered deviant or abnormal. According to Kira Hall (2003) as cited in Pierce e'tal 2019), before feminist research in communication, it was believed that women's language failed to follow normative expectations of how men and women should speak to the rise of feminist linguistics and communication research. Three primary theoretical models emerged to help us think about gender. binary contextual and community models Each model evolved to explain and understand shifting gendered speech patterns. Binary Models Difference and Dominance According to Pierce et al (2019), a binary model is one that offers an either-or position; it assumes the notions of difference and dominance laid the foundations for the binary language models of the 1970s. Robin Lakoff (1975) and Dale Spender (1980) as cited in Pierce e'tal (2019 both understood that women and men talk in different ways and they argued that because men's language was considered normal, the differences constituted an oppressive social system for women. Their theories are called difference models. Lakoff (1975) also argued that women's language was not only different from men's language; it was also powerless. Throughout Lakoff's career she tried to identify ways to correct this problem She also claimed a distinct woman's language existed that secured their place as subservient members of society. She described this as talking like a lady. For example, Lakoff found that women and men differ in their use of adjectives. The English language has, what she referred to as, neutral and women only adjectives. Women are free to use both, while men are free to use only the neutral adjectives Table 3 Gendered Adjectives according to Lakoff Neutral (Male) Adjectives Women Only Adjectives Great Temfic Dool Neat Adorable Charming Sweet Lovely Divine Social Welfare Definition ▷ Gertrude Wilson- an organized concern of all people for all people Walter Friedlander- the organized system of social services and institutions, designed to aid individuals and groups to attain satisfying standards of life and Health Social welfare encompasses well-being of all members of human society (physical, mental, emotional, social, economic, and spiritual) Categories of Social Welfare Social Security-compulsory measures instituted to protect the Welfare Personal Social Services - service function which has bearing on personal problems, individual situation of stress, interpersonal helping or helping people in need Assistance-refers to concrete aids/ materials supports ally by Government agency Social Services refers to the programs, services and other activities provided under various auspices, to concretely answer the needs and problems of the members of the society.

"Clients" is used inclusively to refer to individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. Social workers are sensitive to cultural and ethnic diversity and strive to end discrimination, oppression, poverty, and other forms of social injustice. These activities may be in the form of direct practice, community organizing, supervision, consultation administration, advocacy, social and political action, policy development and implementation, education, and research and evaluation.

Social workers are cognizant of their dual responsibility to clients and to the broader seek to resolve conflicts between clients' interests and the sts in a socially responsible manner consistent with the and ethical standards of the profession. Value: Competence Ethical Principle: Social workers practice within their areas of competence and develop and enhance their professional expertise. Social workers continually strive to increase their professional knowledge and skills and to apply them in practice. Social workers should aspire to contribute to the knowledge base of the profession.
