Social

work

is

a

practice-based

profession

and

an

academic

discipline

that

promotes

social

change

and

development,

social

cohesion(n.凝聚力，團(tuán)結(jié))and

the

empowerment

and

liberation

of

people.Social

work

in

its

various

forms

addresses

the

multiple,

complex

transactions(n.交易，互動(dòng))between

people

and

their

environments.Social

work

grew

out

of

humanitarian

and

democratic

ideals,and

its

values

are

based

on

respect

for

the

equality,

worth,

and

dignity

of

all

people.Social

work

bases

its

methodology

on

a

systematic

body

of

evidence-based

knowledge

derived

from

research

and

practice

evaluation,including

local

and

indigenous

knowledge

specific

to

its

context.Social

work

addresses

the

barriers,inequities

and

injustices

that

exist

in

society.II.FunctionsofSocialWork

aspects.The

of

begins

at

home,and

it

is

not

how

much

we

do,but

how

much

love

we

put

into

the

action

that

we

do.”
