Social work is a multi- dimensional and contradictory field of practice, which often leads
to theoretical confusion. Another tendency within social work today is the development
of an evidence- based practice. This kind of social engineering, together with the
theoretical confusion, might lead to the reproduction and strengthening of dominant
discourses and perspectives. Pointing out the need for critical theory to transgress and
resist hegemonic practices, the article aims to present ideas on how to theoretically
position social work practice within a framework of critical theory. The question is how
to combine an ambition to develop suitable methods and to anchor social work in a
sound- social scientific context with critical theories concerning, for instance, gender,
ethnicity and class. It is suggested that a movement towards a more deconstructive
and reflexive mode of thinking and practising social work, doing social work, would
enable the field to become more ethical and reflexive. (Herz & Johansson, 2012)

En el apartado anterior te pedimos que determinaras el ttulo que mejor


reflejara el contenido del resumen citado. Seguramente tu eleccin fue Doing Social
Work: Critical Considerations on Theory and Practice in Social Work debido a que en
principio este resmen contiene una oracin que introduce la temtica abordada, en
este caso social work, o trabajo social.

De hecho, este tema o frase nominal se

reitera en el resumen por ser justamente el tema desarrollado.

De las opciones

posibles, deducimos que ste es el ttulo correcto ya que los autores se proponen
revisar algunas perspectivas existentes y proponer un enfoque distinto.

ABSTRACT 1

Abuse is a violation of fundamental human rights and affects all aspects of childrens
development. Physical assault and sexual abuse are commonly identified, but the nature of
the emotional abuse to which children with disabilities are vulnerable has not been widely
recognized. Abuse results from denial of emotional nurturance, education and treatment as
well as rough handling, use of restraints and isolation. A holistic and integrated approach is
needed to bring children within the boundaries of ordinary protective services and provide
effective protective and prevention services.

ABSTRACT 2

Climate change is a worldwide reality discussed and debated at every corner of


scientific, political and economical forms. However, it can be tackled if timely
mitigation practices widely adopted for cooling the earth. There is a need to develop
a common sense in our daily life for saving the energy (light, fuel, water, air) for
future use. Common adoptable and recommended practices have a substantial
contribution in cooling the earth and making congenial environment for human-plantlives.

ABSTRACT 3

The quality of the environment, both natural and man-made, is essential to


tourism. However, tourism's relationship with the environment is complex. It
involves many activities that can have adverse environmental effects. Many of
these impacts are linked with the construction of general infrastructure such as
roads and airports, and of tourism facilities, including resorts, hotels,
restaurants, shops, golf courses and marinas. The negative impacts of tourism
development can gradually destroy the environmental resources on which it
depends. On the other hand, tourism has the potential to create beneficial
effects on the environment by contributing to environmental protection and
conservation. It is a way to raise awareness of environmental values and it can
serve as a tool to finance protection of natural areas and increase their
economic importance.

ABSTRACT 4

This paper presents the CONNECT UK-001 initiative on violence in schools in


European Union countries. It describes the organisation and structure of the
projects country reports, and summarises the reports main issues and findings.
Also examined are the comparability of definitions of school violence, the nature
and availability of data sources, and local, national and other initiatives to reduce
violence. The paper discusses how project evaluations, financial support and the
use of cross-disciplinary approaches could improve knowledge and action in this
area. (Smith, 2004)

ABSTRACT 5

Pre-school intervention projects are now reporting dramatic long-term follow-up


findings which appear to vindicate the claim that pre-school can serve as an
'inoculation against failure'. The recent evidence appears sound enough

it is

argued that the effectiveness of pre-school may also be conditional on features of


the educational and family context in which intervention took place, especially the
school procedures for dealing with children who present difficulties, which could
serve either to amplify or attenuate the initial effects of pre-school.

ABSTRACT 6

Common wisdom has it that capitalism and democracy are mutually reinforcing
ideologies and practices. The historical record reveals that tensions between
them emerged in the early years of industrialization and have persisted ever
since. In her presidential address to the 2012 Organization of American
Historians annual meeting, Alice Kessler-Harris argues that democracy is rooted
in an egalitarian ethos; capitalism demands liberty to amass property and to
defend it. Most of the twentieth century evidenced a strong effort to expand
democracy by enhancing possibilities for equality; that effort collapsed in the
1970s. The puzzle is why, in the face of the evident tension between capitalism
and democracy, belief in their reciprocally reinforcing qualities remained so
strong.

ABSTRACT 7

This study explores the relationships between the frequency and identities of heroes as
role models used in the social studies textbooks in teaching 20 core values and
prospective teachers' preferences of heroes. The findings indicated that there are
striking similarities and differences between these two variables. For gender variable,
97,4 % of heroes found in the textbooks were male and % 2,6 was female, whereas all
the heroes preferred by prospective teachers were male. Moreover, 73,6 % of heroes
in the textbooks were national and 26,4 % was universal; 75 % of prospective students'
preferences were national and 25 % was international. However, the study indicated
that there is a low level of congruence between the two variables in terms of the
identities of the heroes.
