Briefly describe the goals and scope of social work.

The goal and scope of social work as laid down is noble and broad-to help an individual be included in society and to transform the very society that creates structures that marginalize individuals from full participation in the enjoyment of social services and resources of the community.

it is a part of john locke's natural rights popular during the age of enlightenment that people had inalienable rights to life, liberty and property. this was reflected by thomas jefferson in his declaration of independence as rights to life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

another line in the declaration of independence is that people have certain rights just because they are human. humans are capable of obeying the three natural rights john locke mentioned making them governable by these laws and therefore entitled to these rights as well.
