Assignment 2: View of Moral Work

In this module’s overview, you learned that human  services come in many different forms. There are different philosophies  guiding this work that, at times, might conflict with one another. This  is particularly true when the direct service provider’s personal values,  typically based on his or her cultural experiences and education and  training, conflict with the theoretical approach favored by the agency.  In addition, you examined the moral and regulatory influences on the  direct services provided to the clients.
