29. Answer the below questions according to the passage


Despite the suggestion that social action may be considered to be a part of the three or four important types of activities engaged in by social workers, there has always been a lack of clear understanding of what exactly the scope of such activity would be. Specifically, the question remains unanswered whether the profession of social work can be actively involved in action which is likely to be not acceptable to all segments of a society, and likely to affect adversely the organised interests of some groups in society, though such action is in full conformity with the basic, well-articulated values of that society What, for instance, is the role of the social work profession vis-à-vis the Negro problem in the United States, the Harijan problem in India and the problem of coloured immigrants in the United Kingdom I think, in any examination of the human rights aspects of social work, this question becomes crucial. What is the role of the individual professional and of the profession of social work in situations where the value of the worth and dignity of the individual is denied in practice with reference to certain groups even when the society proclaims this value and generally accepts it in regard to the other segments of society
One way of responding to this situation is to say that individually in their personal lives social workers should not act in ways which would be in transgression of this value. This mode of response evades the issue by converting a question which is addressed to the profession into one addressed to the individual as a citizen. Obviously, even this response is valuable and shows the individual's commitment to a particular value. But, it is not adequate.
