Social workers have the responsibility and obligation to effectively protect the privacy of the parties from harm, which is the basic principle of social work ethics. In practice, this principle is sometimes not easy to master. Therefore, careful thinking and judgment are needed to avoid any moral mistakes and mistakes.
2. Conflicts between human feelings and laws and regulations.
China is a society of human feelings and acquaintances, and the relationship between people is extremely important in daily life. Social workers often encounter emotional, rational and legal entanglements when dealing with contradictions between family members, neighbors and other internal members. How to correctly and effectively distinguish the influence and consequences of human feelings, legal system and regulations often puts social workers in trouble.
3. The contradiction between value intervention and objectivity
Social work is a value-oriented profession and occupation with strong value concern. Social workers also actively apply a series of values to the practice of helping others, thus influencing the parties, helping them solve problems, improving their own abilities and ultimately improving their social functions. However, social work is also a scientific practice, which requires effective methods and credible evidence to implement the service plan. Therefore, social workers should also emphasize the objectivity of intervention methods and materials, minimize personal subjective judgments, listen to the voices and demands of clients, and respect the value choices of clients.
4. The conflict between the satisfaction of social workers' personal interests and their professional social responsibilities.
Social workers are also ordinary citizens, who will encounter some problems and difficulties and need to meet their own needs through certain channels. However, due to the requirements and restrictions of occupation, it is sometimes difficult for social workers to give consideration to the interests of work and individuals, which requires social workers to minimize the adverse effects and consequences caused by the conflict between them.
5. Self-determination
In the practice of social work, it is emphasized that social workers try their best to encourage clients to make their own decisions, with the aim of giving full play to their potential and making them grow and change through self-help. However, in some specific cases, social workers have to face special customers. Due to physical and psychological reasons, these parties may not be able to make a decision and it is difficult to make a clear judgment on their own situation, so professional social workers are needed to make decisions instead of them. However, social workers should try their best to avoid making ethical decisions for their clients. If this situation is unavoidable, social workers need to consult ethical experts and colleagues to make appropriate ethical decisions together to avoid negative consequences and risks.
