This document discusses the evolution of division of labor, work orientation, paradigms in social work, and orientation of diaconia work across different eras and societies. It provides a table that outlines these concepts for agrarian-feudal societies, industrial capitalism, social market economies, planning economies, developing countries, and in the context of globalized transformations. The document then prompts the reader to make a model describing these concepts for African and Asian developing societies, using one example country.
