This unit acknowledges that we live in an inter-dependent society and that we need relationships to grow. This unit introduces students to the workings of society and the process by which people are classified as different according to characteristics which are valued in that society. Students are asked to reflect upon how human services have provided for people and have changed over the last century, moving from a custodial or charity model to a model based on people’s rights to a quality lifestyle of their choosing and a valued social role. This unit examines current beliefs about people who require assistance in some form, and identifies ways these beliefs are reflected in the style of assistance they receive within human services.
