A community social worker begins work in a neighborhood with a homogeneous, mainly white, working class population. The worker finds that three is little organized effort to improve the schools or any other local institutions. There is, however, a community consensus around the school system's major problems. These problems include ineffective leadership from the school board, a weak, vacillating superintendent and a lack of resources. The most appropriate model to use in considering strategies would be
A. social goals.
B. social planning.
C. locality development.
D. social action.
C. locality development.
In this question the community is described as fundamentally inactive and unaware of the roles it might take in repairing local institutions. The first steps the social worker should take involve raising consciousness about the possibility of change. As the process proceeds, the worker can start developing the community institutions that are required to initiate and regulate change. These activities fit within the definition of locality.
