What is one of the primary ethical responsibilities to the broader society?

  1. Promoting social injustices

  2. Advocating for fair resource allocation

  3. Encouraging discrimination

  4. Limiting access to social services

The correct answer is: Advocating for fair resource allocation

Advocating for fair resource allocation is one of the primary ethical responsibilities of social workers to the broader society. Social workers have a commitment to promoting social justice and helping vulnerable populations. This involves addressing issues of inequality and advocating for the fair distribution of resources, ensuring that all individuals have access to the necessary services and support systems. By focusing on fair resource allocation, social workers help to empower clients, reduce systemic barriers, and promote overall community well-being. This responsibility aligns with core social work values, emphasizing the importance of social justice, dignity, and worth of the person.
