Social Action for a Different Decade

Abstract

Social action in social work is considered from the standpoint of how it has been influenced by the dramatic developments of the decade. Emphasis has shifted from consideration of the appropriateness of social activism as professional behavior to a diversification of strat- egies including direct action. It has altered its boundaries to include its own institutions, and its goals to include internal change. Its newest expression is advocacy as a professional activity. A new definition is proposed, suggesting the process nature of social activism.
