Assignment 1: Self-Disclosure in Relationships

In this assignment, you examine the concept and role of self-disclosure in same-sex friendship and opposite-sex friendship. Researchers maintain that self-disclosure is the most important way to establish a close relationship with another person.

Prepare for this discussion by researching self-disclosure in friendships using the Argosy University online library resources and the Internet.

Think about a friendship you have with a friend of the same sex and a friendship you have with a friend of the opposite sex. Compare the levels of self-disclosure in these two types of friendships.

Respond to the following:

  • Analyze the level of self-disclosure in the same-sex friendship in relation to the level in the opposite-sex friendship.
  • Compare and contrast the differences between the two. Provide support to justify your response, referring to examples, theories, and research from your text and other readings.
  • Propose what methods you can use to establish a common thread of mutual trust and respect that binds the friendship, regardless of differences in gender.

Post your responses in one or two paragraphs.

All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources.

Discussion: Family Systems in Social Work Practice Families are as unique as the individuals who form them.

Discussion: Family Systems in Social Work Practice

Families are as unique as the individuals who form them. While you may utilize the same or similar techniques, while working with family systems (through the steps in the GIM and related practice skills), it is also important to recognize that each family has its own unique needs and experiences in the world. The empowerment perspective states that an essential aspect of working with individuals and families is to address their feelings of powerlessness and oppression. Empowerment is a process; and one part of that process is to gain an awareness of the oppressive structures evident in our society. Oppression, in the form of racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia, can impact a family’s quality of life and ability to thrive. Empowerment practice includes discussing potential societal barriers that may have contributed to the family’s concerns.

For this Discussion, review this week’s Resources. Select a diverse family system, such as a family with differences in sexual orientation, a family with differences in race or ethnicity, or a family with members who are managing a disability. Then, consider potential barriers they might encounter in society. Finally, think about how a social worker might address one of these barriers on an individual, family, organizational, group, or community level.

Post a brief description of the diverse family system you selected.

Then explain a potential barrier they might encounter in society.

Finally, explain one skill a social worker might use to address this barrier on an individual, family, organizational, group, or community level.
