St. Vincent De Paul

For my Confirmation I choose St.Marguerite Bourgeoys. Marguerite was born on April 17, 1620. Marguerite had survived many difficulties in the twenty-six years she had been in wilderness of Canada. She had survived the Iroquois attacks, a fire that destroyed her village, and plagues on the ships that she took back and forth to France, but nothing could stop her from achieving her dreams. The only thing that threatened her hopes and dreams more than anything else was what her own bishop told her in 1679. He had told her that she had to join her Congregation of Notre Dame with its teaching sisters to a religious order of Ursulines that stayed in one place and were close together. She had been told to do this before. Marguerite had overcome

The first value in the Code of Ethics is service. Personally, I believe this is one of the values that basically sums up social work. As a social worker, this value describes how one must help their client. By helping their client, they address obstacles that their client may be facing and help the client find the best available resources to assist them. Second, social justice is the next value described in the Code. This value describes what topics social workers focus on and work with. These can be topics regarding inequality, individuals living below the poverty line, health care, gender inequality and education. Social Workers strive to aid these issues and help clients who are facing these issues.

Looking at the values listed in the National Association of Social Workers (NASW, 2008) and the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW, 2010) code of ethics, I can see that the values held by the profession are also values I regard highly, such as respect for persons, social justice, professional integrity, service, importance of human relationships, and competence.

Ethical working in this setting includes respecting the principles and values which underpin the support for individuals who’s in St. Anne’s Community Services which is part of the organisation who look after of a homeless people.

The principle of human dignity based on catholic social teaching is that every human being is the live image of a god himself (Australian Catholic Social Justice Council, 2016). therefore, every individual in our society is worth of respect as a member of the

Dignity: Dignity is a person 's right to be treated like a human being.  When we talk about human dignity, we mean human rights.  If people are treated with dignity, they usually have the right to make choices for themselves.  Dignity also means people are treated with respect.  When we talk about dignity of the elderly, for example, we mean treating them like adults and not like children.  Dignity involves privacy as well.  People often feel that their dignity is compromised when their privacy is taken away.  Ultimately, dignity is the idea that human beings are different from animals.

I was a Follower of Christ and I didn’t even know it. I was the last of three boys to two faithful Christian parents. My parents attended St Paul’s Episcopal Church in Akron, OH. I was baptized and confirmed by the same Bishop. Some of my earliest memories are of me standing in the pews with my parents and stacking the prayer books as if it were my own pulpit and I would pretend to be the priest giving the Sunday sermon. I didn’t know what he was talking about but I always thought that I would be like him one day. I was an acolyte and attended the youth programs regularly with my friends. I completed my studies to earn my God and Country award with the Boy Scouts.

Do you love animals and nature? Do you want to make trees plentiful again? Do you want to adopt all the puppies and kittens when you walk into the shelter? Well do I have a saint for you!

The Society of St Vincent De Paul are a voluntary organization with the catholic church. St Vincent de Paul society strive to achieve there goal, which is to educate Catholic social teaching, and to apply the knowledge they have in catholic social teaching to help and find a way to care for others. St Vincent de Paul let no injustice go unchallenged and mention in their mission statement saying that they aspires to live the gospel message by serving Christ in the poor with love, respect, justice, hope and joy, and by working to shape a more just and compassionate society.

Another ethical principles from the core values that I feel is strongly needed is social justice. I feel that is where Social Workers can make the most difference. Challenging the injustice vulnerable population face would help them get access to more resources. Challenging those injustice would also bring much needed awareness on issues vulnerable population faces daily. Social Justice is important because it would give policymakers the push they need to make changes regarding those defenseless

Saint Genevieve is the patron saint of Paris, she was born in the year 422 in Nanterre, France. It is believed by many people that her parents were poor and un-respected peasants named Severus and Gerontia. She died January 3, 512 at the age of 90 in Paris, France due to natural causes and her feast day is also celebrated on January third. When Genevieve was only seven St. Germanus, Bishop of Auxerre visited Nanterre on his way to Britain. Many people want to here him speak of whom was Genevieve, she was singled out and the Bishop had foretold her future. The next day he gave her a cross engraved with brass metal to remind her of her promise to god, and ordered her to never take it if and to never wear any other jewelry. Later on her her life at the

Although it is unclear of the exact origins, the author provides that throughout history, the concept of human dignity has changed throughout time and has held different meaning in different eras like the Renaissance, and by different people like Hobbes and Kant. In addition, for instance, human dignity, was a theological theme developed by the church produced through faithful reflection on revealed truth rather than scripture.

“Dignity is a state of physical, emotional and spiritual comfort, with each individual valued for his or her uniqueness and his or her individuality celebrated. Dignity is promoted when individuals are enabled to do the best within their capabilities, exercise control, make choices and feel involved in the decision-making that underpins their care.”

The next section of both documents that is congruent is the ethical principles from codes of ethics and principles from statement of principles. The ethical principle goes a distinctive detail about what the social worker should do for each core value. These principles bring forth ideals to which all social workers should seek. The statement of principle has a set of principle and they consist of Human Rights and Human Dignity, and Social Justice. With human rights and human dignity social work is based on respect for the inherent worth and dignity of all people, and the rights that follow from this. Social workers should uphold and defend

The core values recognized by the NASW's Code of Ethics are broad ethical principles set forth to which all person's in the social work profession should aspire to. These six values, on which the guiding principles and standards are based, are as follow service, social justice, dignity and worth of the person, importance of human relationship, integrity, and competence. Again these are in no exacting order. Service is to help people in need and address social problems above the workers self-interest. This would include both paid and volunteer time. An illustration of this would be to help train employees of, and work with these employees at, a crisis call line. Social justice, the next value, is challenging the inequalities that is seen daily both in a micro, mezzo and macro realm. An example of all three could be in looking at AIDs patients. If a worker was working with a client who had the AIDs
