The main nature of this assignment is to attempt to demonstrate an understanding of Social Work Ethical Principles, Values and Standards, Discrimination and Disadvantage
We are all shaped by early socialisation (Social Learning Theory) which becomes learned behaviour. One of my personal values is honesty, as a child I was always encouraged to provide truthful information and was punished if I was ever caught telling untruths. The link between the action of telling untruths and the punishment served, acted as a deterrent, however; as I matured, personal experiences helped to embed this value.
