Social Work
Psychology focuses on understanding individuals while sociology is a subject that aims to analyse phenomena in societies and groups of people. Social work, on the other hand, is concerned with the conditions and interactions of people in society. It does not only attempt to understand people in society but also the actions taken to solve social issues and promote social betterment. Social work stresses the realisation of values. It refers to affirmation of human dignity and rights, respect for diversity and the wellbeing of the disadvantaged groups.
