The assignment requires at least three scholarly resources for support and should be 2-3 pages long, excluding title and reference pages.

1. During this second week, you explored the knowledge base and
history of social work. We have examined specific social work
professions as well as the great strides social workers have
made in the U.S. with helping individuals, thus making a
difference nationally.
For your assignment this week, identify three influential figures
in social work – one person of color, one female, and one of
your choice. Briefly, describe their accomplishments and their
contributions to the social work knowledge base.
Next, select one of the three and discuss how this individual
might approach the social issue/problem you identified in Week
1. If possible or appropriate, include an example that illustrates
how this individual might address the problem.
Support your assignment with at least three scholarly resources.
In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate
scholarly resources, including seminal articles, may be
included.
