		Social workers who are concerned that clients' access to their records could cause serious misunderstanding or harm to the client should provide assistance in interpreting the records and consultation with the client regarding the records.
		If social workers engage in conduct contrary to this prohibition or claim that an exception to this prohibition is warranted because of extraordinary circumstances, it is social workers -- not their clients -- who assume the full burden of demonstrating that the former client has not been exploited, coerced, or manipulated, intentionally or unintentionally.
		Social workers should be aware of the impact of the political arena on practice and should advocate for changes in policy and legislation to improve social conditions in order to meet basic human needs and promote social justice.

	Viewpoint -- The Demons of Social Injustice
		Americans, who are generally overwhelmingly concerned with social justice, are skeptical of socialism is because of the brutality of 20th century communism.
		This does not give a fair shake to the ideology, however, because by analysis, socialism is far more in line with the true American views on the responsibility of the state than is libertarianism.
		Socialism, however, takes the idea of social justice to an extreme which is idealistic but impossible in practice given that our human inclinations drive us to want more than the common allotment.

		One approach to teaching social justice to middle- and upper-income youth is to help them see that the establishment of social justice is ultimately of benefit to themselves, as well as to the victims of injustice.

	Getting to the Heart of Environmental Injustice: Social Science and its Boundaries
		It is important to study how social scientists have investigated EJ issues because their quantitatively based research findings have crucial consequences for the movement itself and for the public policies issued from Washington and from state legislatures (Camia, 1993; Clinton, 1994; Ferris and Hahn-Baker, 1995; Hacker, 1994).
		Such social sciences nevertheless have their limitations: spatio-temporal variation is excluded by the undergirding assumptions and consequently by the generalizations derived from the studies themselves.
		In the notion of the social whole posited by such social science the constituent parts are not conceived in terms of their historical and geographical interrelationships.

	Social injustice in Amos and the Bible
		Social Injustice is the violation of the rights of others by individuals or the society; unjust or unfair action or treatment.
		Notice well again that all along the Bible is like in the book of Amos: Social Injustice is not the fact that there are poor or weak people in the world or in our town, but because we actually treat poorly the humble and the weak and the honest persons...
		Social Justice is based on the principle that all persons are entitled to "basic human needs", regardless of "superficial" differences such as economic disparity, class, gender, race, ethnicity, citizenship, religion, age, sexual orientation, disability, or health.

		I have to admit it: The concept that a person should be able to do whatever he/she wants with his/her business or corporation, as long as it isn't fraudulent or criminal, isn't easy to believe in -- to say nothing of declaring it publicly, where I might have to defend it.
		The arguments against such a belief are so numerous, particularly where social injustice comes in, they are almost cliché.

		Stripped of rhetoric, an act of social justice (a) deliberately increases the relative share…of the worse-off in total income, and (b) in achieving (a) it redresses part or all of an injustice….This implies that some people being worse off than others is an injustice and that it must be redressed.
		Since Nature never stops throwing good luck at some and bad luck at others, no sooner are [social] injustices redressed than some people are again better off than others.
		An economy of voluntary exchanges is inherently inegalitarian....Striving for social justice, then, turns out to be a ceaseless combat against luck, a striving for the unattainable, sterilized economy that has built-in mechanisms...for offsetting the misdeeds of Nature.
