Suprising stuff

Working with laddo has not been easy, that's in case you did not know.



Today though another eye opener. Ha has been interacting really well with everyone around him.



At dinner, where there is allways lots of banter that he has only ever been able to reframe as conflict, all of a sudden he joined in and came up with some really witty and clever one liners.

I was quite taken aback!!!

I am not a little at a loss to understand what is going on. 

Far from that with the Essay though. I think we both have essay fever. 

Deintological, utilitarianistic and ontological perspectives combined with anti oppressive practice underpin the ethics of social work so I now know. These are all part of your normal breakfast time discussions I know. 

Unfortunately the further into it you go you wonder if it is all a  creation of  the prevailing neoliberal hegemony and real insight might come from approaches underpinned by Althuser and Marcuse. Who would argue that social work is part of the repressive apparatus of the state and that diverting the middle class into operating it diverts them from the realisation of the need for structural change if anything is really to be effected.
