Facts
What it comes down to is perspectives: for you and for your fellow man. Social Work.
"Social Work" (meaning social work/social pedagogic/social management) is a discipline known all over the world. It is concerned with the theory and methodology of professional activation of people who find themselves in difficult life situations. Experts in social work need to have comprehensive knowledge of the problematic situations of their clients, as well as soundly based theoretic and methodical ability (e.g. social diagnostics / social analysis, social counselling, case management, meditation, socio-therapy, socio-cultural animation, social management etc.).Legal and business know-how are also very important. Experts in social work very often have to prove their worth in relationship situations which are full of conflict. Behaving professionally in that area of high tension between sympathetic understanding (empathy) and knowing where the dividing line is calls not only for knowledge and ability but also for sterling character (e.g. through personal experience, involvement or observation and direction etc.).
