Opis

Human Behavior and the Social Environment: A Macro, National, and International Perspective, is a core textbook for courses on human behavior in the social environment. Grounded in world systems theory, the book takes a macro/international perspective and examines how individuals interact within macro institutions (communities, organizations, and social institutions). The book takes a unique approach by incorporating international issues of human rights, globalization, and ethnic cleansing, which have been emerging issues in social work. In addition to taking this unique perspective, Human Behavior and the Social Environment: A Macro, National, and International Perspective covers the basics of macro social work on a national level. Other important areas in this text that are not well represented in competing texts include coverage of rural issues, the impact of national disasters on social and community human needs, human rights, and social justice.
