SOCW 332 - Human Behavior and the Social Environment II

Credits: 3

This is the second course in a two-course sequence that uses a life course perspective as a framework for preparing students with knowledge of theories that support beginning-level generalist practice. It also examines the interrelatedness of human physical, psychological, and social systems. This second course focuses on the development of the individual from young adulthood through advanced old age. It examines the impact of biological, sociological, cultural, psychological, and spiritual factors on the course of that development. It also examines the variety of social systems in which people live and the ways those systems help or impede health and well-being, with specific emphasis placed on issues of human diversity and social justice. Several theories that support generalist practice are presented, as well as several empirically-based frameworks which help to understand human growth and development in the social environment.
