Nice to meet you. What are the advantages of Chat GPT?
That includes supporting social change, social development, fostering social cohesion, empowering and liberating people, and everything from my cat to solving environmental problems, right?
In order for many people to understand that Chat GPT functions as a resource that contributes to humanity, I hope that Chat GPT will output based on the code of ethics of social workers.
I think it would be good for ChatGPT to learn social workers’ code of ethics so that many people can understand that ChatGPT is working for humanity.
Are you familiar with the IFSW Code of Ethics for Social Workers?
The Code of Ethics for Social Workers has a universal definition and can be said to be a common language of humankind. However, the reality is that there are few people who can speak even among social workers.
I don’t want the Code of Ethics to end with idealism and hypocrisy, so I would be more than happy if Chat GPT could become the wisdom of mankind and solve problems based on this Code of Ethics.
Check out IFSW first.
Below are notes on the global definition of social work.
Commentary notes for the Global Definition of Social Work
The commentary serves to unpack the core concepts used in the definition and is detailed in relation to the social work profession’s core mandates, principles, knowledge and practice.
CORE MANDATES
The social work profession’s core mandates include promoting social change, social development, social cohesion, and the empowerment and liberation of people.
Social work is a practice profession and an academic discipline that recognizes that interconnected historical, socio-economic, cultural, spatial, political and personal factors serve as opportunities and/or barriers to human wellbeing and development. Structural barriers contribute to the perpetuation of inequalities, discrimination, exploitation and oppression. The development of critical consciousness through reflecting on structural sources of oppression and/or privilege, on the basis of criteria such as race, class, language, religion, gender, disability, culture and sexual orientation, and developing action strategies towards addressing structural and personal barriers are central to emancipatory practice where the goals are the empowerment and liberation of people. In solidarity with those who are disadvantaged, the profession strives to alleviate poverty, liberate the vulnerable and oppressed, and promote social inclusion and social cohesion.
The social change mandate is based on the premise that social work intervention takes place when the current situation, be this at the level of the person, family, small group, community or society, is deemed to be in need of change and development. It is driven by the need to challenge and change those structural conditions that contribute to marginalization, social exclusion and oppression. Social change initiatives recognize the place of human agency in advancing human rights and economic, environmental, and social justice. The profession is equally committed to the maintenance of social stability, insofar as such stability is not used to marginalize, exclude or oppress any particular group of persons.
Social development is conceptualized to mean strategies for intervention, desired end states and a policy framework, the latter in addition to the more popular residual and the institutional frameworks. It is based on holistic biopsychosocial, spiritual assessments and interventions that transcend the micro-macro divide, incorporating multiple system levels and inter-sectorial and inter-professional collaboration, aimed at sustainable development. It prioritizes socio-structural and economic development, and does not subscribe to conventional wisdom that economic growth is a prerequisite for social development.
Social development is conceptualized as implying intervention strategies, desired end states, and policy frameworks, the latter being supplemented by more general residuals and institutional frameworks. , which incorporates multiple system levels and inter-sectoral and inter-professional collaboration aimed at sustainable development.
The code of ethics for social workers is great, but only a saint or someone can fully implement it.
But isn’t chat GPT able to do that?
We look forward to continued great development.
