He mentioned that haves are treated by Others with more honesty and respect (Putnam, 2000, p. 138). Fukuyama’s views on social trust Trust is regarded as a necessity component of running a smooth society (Giddens, 1990) and it helps to glue the society together (Luhmann, 1979). All the theorists of the social capital theory also have identified trust as essentiatial and necessary componenet of social capital (Graham, 2016). Putnam has also mentioned about the trust and he has talked about the thick trust and thin trust (Putnam, 2001). But Putnam understand the Trust in a narrow sense and he provide minimal distinction between thick trust and thin trust (Graham, 2016:23).
He supports the idea that human rights are a result of society. This is because he viewed human rights claims and institutions as being “unique”. He argues that human rights in an institution specific to particular culture and historic context and is in fact a human construction. Waters does not believe that all human rights do not involve all made against the state. Human rights can only include claims that are recognised as fundamental to a political community’s member’s humanity in Waters’ opinion.
If the goal is to create a society in which marginalized groups are equal citizens, then Social Work has an obligation to demand a moral-system that resonates with that objective. There must be a communal (collective) account of injustice, unfairness or oppression for any government-enforced redistribution or effort for reform to be rendered equally or indiscriminately. Without an emphasis on interdependence, a caring society, empathy, and intersectionality, Social Work’s assistance or governmental interventions in people of colors’ communities cannot truly be anti-oppressive, but rather temporary solutions to intergenerational inequality, crises, disparities and social
These ideals must be engrained in society and the individual’s minds. For a society with less social inequality between the classes to happen, a balance of public and private property would allow for more equality, as well as job opportunities for the lower class, this disregarding the structural strain theory. If the United States followed through with these ideas, this is as good as it gets to creating a communistic and utopian world that Marx and Engels hoped
States have laws to maintain peace and safety among people and provide ways to resolve issues that arise among individuals. As a citizen of a state you are expected to obey all laws. An environment without laws will cause the typical exercises of life to be affected by the chaos. In Plato’s book, Crito, Socrates believes you should always obey the law. You are obligated to obey unjust laws because you tacitly agree to obey the laws, people have different opinions what is just or unjust, and there are many consequences when disobeying a law.
By gaining support of the government and the public, Indego Africa can create a better and a wider social impact. Also, for the model to be successfully scaled across the country, the governments help would be very much needed in terms of favorable policies and regulations.

According to the National Alliance of Social Workers (NASW), social justice is one of the primary ethics which social workers must uphold. Empowerment is a social work theory rooted in social justice, with a main goal of reducing social inequalities through community building and redistribution of access to power. The basic premise of empowerment is "to change the environment, change yourself" (Van Wormer & Besthorn, pg. 212). However, in order to change one 's environment or self, there must be options available and opportunities for individuals to have control over their own decisions.
Promoting social development of residents is as important as helping to create employment opportunities at local level through infrastructure and developing programmes. Councillors play a role in promoting democracy by ensuring that the
Contrary to formal equality, identical treatment is not guaranteed. This concept is remedial-based owing to the fact that it acknowledges the contexts of citizens that have been established owing to historical systemic and ongoing institutionalised discrimination and prejudice, and seeks to improve them in order to ensure that citizens are no longer prevented from enjoying equal opportunities as others. It is for this very reason that the South African judiciary have adopted this approach rather than a formal one. [STATE WHICH ONE IS PROMOTED BY THE LEGISLATION IN QUESTION] Section 9(3) of the Constitution is used when the nature of a ‘legislative provision distinguishes directly or indirectly between groups based on grounds listed in section 9(3) or analogous grounds.’ When used, this section determines whether the differentiation in the impugned legislation results in unfair discrimination on
Discussion Individual relationships and connections with others can be a source of enjoyment and support. They help people to feel they belong and have a part to play in society. People who feel socially connected contribute towards building communities and society. Social connectedness has been shown to be associated with good health, low crime, higher educational achievement, economic growth, and other positive benefits (Capon & Blakely, 2007). High levels of social connectedness are thought to promote better health and psychological wellbeing (Giordano & Lindstorm, 2010).
