The Unity The Strength The Power
May 29, 2008
This image can depict many different inferences as to what it may be about. It can be considered as an image of unity, strength, and power. Although it can be deceiving, and portray you to believe it has to do with the races, it has a much more unique meaning hidden with in it. It is of coming together and being one, the unity, building the strength up and to be able to hold the power of the situation. Whether it be good or bad, as one working and striving for the same goal and constantly supporting an individual to keep them up on their feet and not allowing them to fall, they can conquer all, together.
This picture is a strong depiction of Social Work, and how it is used in the world around us today. As stated in Bls.Gov, “They’re their with a strong desire to help improve people’s lives”. The power of help, and to want to help is the most incredible characteristic these individuals hold with in them. Not only are they the beholders of this power, but they feel the need to use it and to spread it into their own communities, and to the world surrounding them. When this power has been spread to the individuals of whom these social workers have become acquainted with, it is then that traits of this picture begin to be witnessed. Not only are they witnessed by the lives who are living the experiences, but by the community and the people surrounding them. The unity of the social worker and their “patient”, can become very strong, and together they form an immense amount of strength. The social worker constantly reassuring them that they have to “just keep chugging, just keep chugging“, and until everything has been sorted out and their “patient” is well enough to be on their own, they will still be there to help and to guide them on their way to success. They continue giving them constant little “you can do it’s“, to form their bond and their strength. And very often a “patient” has been through an immense ordeal causing them to rarely trust anybody, and sometimes causing relationships to be much more difficult to correlate. It is then that the unity and the strength of the social worker and their “patient” becomes critical.
Once the Bondage of the Social worker and their patient have become evident, then does the world begin to witness the power that they have been able to sculpt with one another. The feeling that everyone strives for with in life becomes evident for these “patients”, success. They where able to conquer a situation, and as the picture depicts it was sought through working together within unity, strength, and power.
