SWK 2300 Human Behavior and the Social Environment
Designed to enhance the student's understanding of the individual, group, family and cultural influences on human behavior. Its purpose is to analyze normal human growth and development from the pre-natal stage through later adulthood with a focus on the influence of the social environment and subsequently to define practice implications. The impact of gender, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, diversity and other variables is explored. Within each developmental stage, aspects of oppressed groups are studied with an emphasis on at-risk populations. Christian perspectives on human behavior and the social environment and its related practice theory will be considered throughout.
