Conservative Perspective Analysis
In society today we have three perspectives which influence our thinking: conservative, liberal and radical. I believe that the liberal perspective is the most beneficial because it utilizes the social programs available to assist those in need. Ultimately, when we help individuals and specific groups determined to be needy, I feel that we help society as a whole. As we have become more educated in the workings of human behavior; the physical body and the mind as well, we have also begun to realize that helping others helps us all.
Anyone who wishes to be a social worker today I believe would also lean towards a liberal view politically. The fact that we have social welfare programs in existence means that the government is aware …show more content…
Health care is a huge expense in today’s world. The conservative view regarding this issue is that people who can afford to pay for it will have access to it.

As with other major social welfare benefit programs, the conservative leaning would be towards dealing with the immediate needs of someone with a mental health issue, and less social program implementation in order to save funds. The liberal would be pushing to continue to create more social welfare programs to educate and facilitate funds being allocated to care for those in need based upon not only the immediate needs, but to meet the long term needs of people. The more we learn about mental illness the more we realize how to treat it… therefore it is a constantly evolving area of social welfare. Once again it would be my inclination to expect the radical thinkers to demand government reform in this area to make all assistance available at all times completely unchallenged, at the full expense of the
