Human Behavior and the Social Environment, Macro Level: Groups, Communities, and Organizations (3rd Edition)

A timely revision in this global age, Human Behavior and the Social Environment, Macro Level: Groups, Communities, and Organizations (3rd Edition) develops a sophisticated and original view of the spiritual, cultural, global, and natural worlds that people inhabit, and explores the impact of these worlds on human behavior. An ecosystems/sustainability framework emerges as a key characteristic of contemporary practice. What are the characteristics of a sustainable community? What is sustainable social work? How is the present exploitation of environmental resources unsustainable for future generations? In accordance with the 2015 Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) standards, attention is paid to environmental justice as well as diversity and difference.
