the bane of my life.

the title says it all..... i want to go out and play with my camera. i want to go see the ship (but thank goodness its at anchor, or else i'll hate social work even more). but social work is really the "nicest" module around. i meant in terms of the content. its the ONLY module besides nursing degree that's NOT self-focused.

"belief in human capacity for change, inherent worth and dignity of every individual, unique and social characteristics of humans" the core values of social work. you'll have only the really kind-hearted and compassionate and positive and non-critical people as coursemates if you major in this. people like me who criticise policies non-stop belong in a different major. i.e. economics where the base assumption is that everybody makes decisions based on SELF-benefit. if you take away that assumption, there goes ALL the theories and models of economics.

even the humblest demand-supply model cannot stand if the market in that model is made up of social workers. that being said, its not a bad thing if these models fail, the world needs more than econs. but econs is, mostly, what its going to get.
