Description

Develop a critical analysis of a cultural
group in Australia and social work approach that may be undertaken to
counteract such issues experienced.
Students are to select a specific category of diversity and explore the
complexities associated with their marginalisation. Specifically, this could
be a group marginalised based on ethnicity, class, gender, religion,
sexuality, language, age, ability or immigration status.

Reflect on the following questions to
assist in developing your essay:

·       
How
did this group become marginalised? Provide historical context.

·       
What
continues to perpetuate their marginalisation in Australian society? (use
examples from the Moodle site discussions / or media)

·       
How
does the anti-discriminatory and anti-oppressive approaches view such groups?

·       
How
then can social work professionally assist in working with such groups across
practice, policy and research?
