DB from social work perspective

  Aisha’s vignette mentions how other institutions affecting her life—education, foster care, and criminal justice, in particular—could be assessed through a lens of conflict theory. Using Aisha’s case vignette as a guide, consider how a social worker approaching work with Aisha from a conflict theory perspective would view these systems’ influences on her situation. What insights might such an analysis reveal? Although conflict theory does not inform interventions directly, what might be some approaches that you would consider, perhaps in the macro domain, to address these systems’ effects on Aisha?
