NETTING: CHAPTER 1
What is Macro Practice
An Integral part of social work profession and professions exits to meet the needs of others in the larger community
All social workers will engage in some form of macro practice.
Macro practice is a professionally guided intervention(s) designed to
ing about change in organizational, community, and/or policy arena.
Macro Social Work
An Inte
elationship of Micro and Macro Social Work Practice: Focuses on change.
Problems usually appear as individual problems
Important for social workers to understand the nature of individual and group intervention
Arena for change—casework (client, couple, or family) or accessing resources (organizations, communities and policy change)
Macro Level Change
Intervention in organizations or communities is refe
ed to as macro-level change
Social Workers intervene in organizations or communities
Change has to be carefully planned – management, decision making, etc.
Importance of collaboration
Recognize the interconnectedness of micro and macro roles
Macro-Practice Arenas and Roles
    it involves administration, planning, community organizing or policy analysis roles
    Arenas of intervention are communities, organizations, small groups and policy
    Practitioners in macro-practice are sometimes refe
ed to as planners, community organizers, case managers, group workers and each describes the actual function you perform
    population vs. function

The Foundation of Macro Practice
The importance of terminology
Social workers need to recognize that terms used to define and distinguish can be applied adversely
Employing more accurate and less historically laden language
Recognize the sensitivity to language use
Theories, Models, and Approaches
    A theory is a set of inte
elated concepts and constructs that provide a framework for understanding how and why something does or does not work
    Models are prescriptions based on theories that provide direction for the practitioner.
    Approaches on the other hand are less prescriptive
    Both models and approaches provide guidelines for action and intervention
    Systems theory: it contends that there are multiple parts of any entity, whether it is a group, organization or a community. Entities can be best understood as a system with interconnecting components
    Applicable in both micro and macro (including domestic and international)
    Let’s consider some examples using organization or community
    Systems expect conflict –there are ways to cope (locating an organization that serve gay, homeless, or prostitutes in a neighborhood)
The Foundation of Macro Practice
Closed and open systems
Goals and outcomes for planned change
Goals are usually long term and sometimes idealistic. Provides a vision
Outcomes defined as quality-of-life changes
Rational planning approach
Study of the cu
ent situation and a carefully developed and prescribed plan for change
The Foundation of Macro Practice
Values (strongly held belief) and Ethics (provide guidelines)
Importance of professional judgement (ability to skillfully apply and discern the quality of the best knowledge available in a workable manner), values and ethics
The NASW Code of Ethics: Six core values and the ethical principles
Service: Direct and indirect practice
Concept of beneficence (desire to do good for others)
Social Justice: Challenging injustices and work on social change
The Foundation of Macro Practice
Dignity and worth of the person
Self-determination, Empowerment, Addressing the needs of marginalized people
Importance of human relationships
Meaningful ways to facilitate consumer as well as citizen participation
Dealing with multiple stakeholders
Technological advancement
The Foundation of Macro Practice
Integrity

The Foundation of Macro Practice
Competence:
Use of data to show need
Informed decision making is pursued in a systematic and scholarly manne
Evidenced-based or evidence-guided practice
The Foundation of Macro Practice
Ethical conflicts: Social workers have responsibility to:
1) clients
2) to colleagues
3) in practice settings
4) as professionals
5) to the social work profession
6) to the
oader society
Surviving the Dilemmas
1. Develop a Strong Support System: Social workers to reach out to their colleagues
2. Join with Others to Initiate Change: Together with colleagues social workers can form communities and task forces
3. Prioritize Efforts: Working towards change has to be selective
4. Find Ways to Do Self-Care: Do not be overwhelmed by the job. Find ways to rest

Summary 
Chapter 1 
Sherenna's giggle is a little, pleasant and loud one. On this particular day, though, she cannot laugh so that she will get rid of Lamar, the person with no legs. Quentin tells her when Lamar first falls late on her rent. Rental property owners, unlike banks and corporations, are directly impacted by rent delinquencies and unforeseen expenses (Desmond, 2016). 
Without being ruthless, they will typically have to come to an end. It is perilous for Sherenna to feel sorry for Lamar since the mortgage company does not feel sorry for her. Sherenna, on the other hand, seems to be more interested in the community than the majority of landlords. In addition, she is black, unlike many of the city's landlords (Hochstenbach, 2018). 
Sherenna does not seem to be a harsh, selfish, or callous candidate based on this first assessment. According to this paragraph, Lamar's eviction seems to be a callous act because of the monetary order she is a part of. Sherenna believes she simply cannot afford to be nice or compassionate to her renters since she is underneath a lot of financial stress.
Chapter 2 
If the state is seen to have a role in the region, particularly in the impoverished black community, Lamar and DeMarcus represent diametrically opposed positions. Lamar has voiced just a tiny amount of compassion and solidarity for the police, implying that, at the very least in principle, the police are performing an essential function in impoverished communities (Desmond, 2016). 
As stated by Guadamuz (2019), for his part, DeMarcus believes that the population does not need police protection and that the community is better able to cope with its own concerns and challenges. With characteristics such as veteran, single father and someone with a major impairment, Lamar fits the description of someone who should be on assistance. The fact that he was turned down by SSI demonstrates how inadequately the welfare system serves low-income and marginalized individuals and families like himself and his family.
Chapter 3
The Menomony River Valley, divides Milwaukee's white and black people on a social, cultural and physical level, is even a significant factor in this split. This physicality gives the impression that divides are natural, unavoidable and everlasting. Homeowners of black neighborhoods in the 1960s had the fortitude to demand an end to this injustice. It was simply to come face to face with a fresh validation of the long-lasting power of division. 
As examined by Roesch-Knapp (2020), trailer Park is unmistakably a community of related individuals, a connection of workers who come together (although in a dysfunctional manner) as a collective. A resident with the nick moniker "Heroin Susie" and her wife are notable for their presence. According to popular belief, Mytes is mad, implying that inhabitants are not always nice and forgiving, but that their friendship with one another fosters closeness (Desmond, 2016).
Chapter 4
It is stated in Chapter 4 that Tobin has no genuine concern for the wellbeing of the present occupants of the park, which is a conclusion that is supported by the advice of the lawyer. His solution was to throw an indeterminate number of inhabitants under the bus, leaving them without a decent place to live and asking Congress to suspend his license, temporarily until the park was sold (Desmond, 2016).
With its decision, the council has shown that they are similarly unconcerned with the renters who reside in Tobin's Park. Because they do not want the park to generate any more difficulties, they will evict as many people as necessary. This spate of evictions has been so arbitrary that it has been particularly unjust. Tobin is just carrying out these actions to placate the council and he is not even required to provide renters with a basis for eviction.
Chapter 5 
It is summarized from the study that Arlene's life seemed to be progressing in a favorable way once again when she relocated to this large apartment complex. However, although everything seems to be progressing well on the surface, Arlene's enjoyment does not appear to continue for long (Desmond, 2016).
This is especially true given the fact that we are aware of Sherenna's dealings with other renters (Roesch-Knapp, 2020). This chapter demonstrates the seasonal pattern of societal issues, with one generation being followed by the next, sometimes in a different shape, but with reoccurring troubles as an outcome of the previous generation. 
The fact that impoverished children, particularly poor black children, are being recommended to take mental drugs by Jafaris instructors further demonstrates that the government are not providing enough care for them. He was having difficulty in several courses at school and one of his professors advised that he consider medicine.
Chapter 6
According to the findings of this study, Hinkstons attempt to maintain their optimism in the face of their difficult living situations by supporting one another, pulling pranks on one another and having a good time together (Desmond, 2016).
