Panorama ético y práctico en la identidad del trabajo social

Abstract

In this document you will find a brief historical overview of the most important events of Social Work in Colombia, for which there will be a brief historical reconstruction of the profession in our country, without neglecting the changes that have arisen around the professional ethics, since it is like the profession has been exposed to changes, including a greater recognition of its importance in the professional field. Additionally, we talk about the relationship that ethics has with the construction of identity, so a small discussion about the relevance of the code of ethics and the adequacy of the ethics built on a personal level for professional work, is also necessary. some comparisons of the code with a book of recipes, to later clarify the mistaken imaginary that is had of this on the part of some professionals. Since ethics is what allows the Social Worker to have an important role in society in the face of different social needs and problems, in search of individual and collective well-being, without neglecting ethical models. Finally, the issue of identity is addressed and emphasis is placed on how institutions and the different actors are part of this construction.
