Framed by a generalist foundation, empowerment practice directs social workers to address challenges at all levels, including those of individuals, families, groups, organizations, neighborhoods, communities, and society.  Empowerment is achieved through synchronized efforts that work with - not on - people, their relationships, and the impinging social and political environment.  These simultaneous and coordinated efforts create a spiral of influences that initiate, sustain, and amplify empowered functioning. \n\nEmpowerment-based practice actuates a strengths perspective, centering the social work process toward competence promotion and away from the stigmatizing notion of deficit reduction.  An empowering approach reveals the worker’s unwavering commitment to social justice.  This approach operates on the axiom that we all benefit when we acknowledge every person’s rights and responsibilities to contribute to and receive from community participation in a reciprocal relationship. \n\nBeing empowered is not a static condition but rather is a dynamic and cyclical one.  Human individual and social systems are in perpetual motion, either “getting better” or “getting worse” at any given moment.  Empowerment indicates a simpatico state in which one’s perception of self efficacy and essential value is mirrored in and accentuated by social relationships and the larger environment.  Empowerment is a confluence of the individual, the interpersonal, and the sociopolitical where the experience of power in each sphere continually replenishes the others. \n\nThe empowered individual enters each interaction assuming success, respect, and influence; and when these expectations are rewarded, carries back a sense of personal control and esteem.  This realization of interpersonal success builds confidence for interactions at the institutional level - feelings that drive empowered people forward to assert their rights, develop their privilege, and fashion just environments.  In return, a just and ethical society offers equal access to power which is reflected in the lives of each individual citizen. \n\nEmpowering initiatives at the individual level are supported and sustained only by opening pathways to power sources in social, economic, and institutional structures.  Empowering initiatives at the societal level only have benefits when those individuals and groups previously disenfranchised rise up to meet them. \n\nTo facilitate empowerment, practitioners  integrate a continuum of strategies ranging from individual development to relationship improvement to resource acquisition and reallocation through social and institutional change.  Collaborating as partners, clients and social workers can coordinate these efforts simultaneously or sequentially, but no part of the ecosystemic transaction can be ignored.  Empowerment efforts at the personal level provide only brief respite if they are not supported by complimentary changes within interpersonal and sociopolitical realms.  Likewise, even broad based social improvements wane if not protected by the continuing influence of empowered individuals, families, and groups. \n\nThe empowerment method focuses on the achievement of goals and change of systems by utilizing available strengths, resilience, and resources.  By focusing on competence rather than deficits in individual or social functioning, the empowerment model supports resourcefulness and the development of skills to remove social barriers for individuals and communities.

Depends on what definition of liberal u mean. Economic or Social? Social liberalism means a political philosophy of progress and reform and the protection of civil liberties whereas economic liberalism means an economic theory of laissez-faire and self-regulating markets (otherwise known as capitalism). Lookin at it from a purely economic point of view the US is a helluva lot more BLOODY liberal than we are! All i can say is thank god i live in the UK!

Tolerance is a social, cultural and religious term applied to the collective and individual practice of not persecuting those who may believe, behave or act in ways of which one may not approve.\n\nI believe in accepting other people's beliefs with tolerance instead of judgment.

I believe it is a way to provide for "services" for the common good.  Services here include, but are not limited to: transportation, police, infrastructure, as well as a variety of other human services that make life pleasant.

Political correctness is a term generally used to disparage efforts to raise awareness about and eliminate social and political biases in language and other forms of representation. The term also appears in the adjectival form politically correct (often abbreviated PC). While it frequently refers to a linguistic phenomenon, it is also extended to cover political ideology and behavior.

After much surfing I found it.  In part: A communitarian perspective recognizes both individual human dignity and the social dimension of human existence. Neither human existence nor individual liberty can be sustained for long outside the interdependent and overlapping communities to which all of us belong.\n\n The rest is at the link below:

Anti-Bias Education\nThe anti-bias curriculum, in education, is an active/activist approach that challenges interlocking systems of oppression such as racism, sexism, ableism/disablism, ageism, homophobia, and all the other –isms.\n\nThe objective of this approach to teaching is to eliminate bias found in various institutions. This approach attempts to provide children with a solid understanding of social problems and issues while equipping them with strategies to combat bias and improve social conditions for all.\n\nThe anti-bias curriculum serves as a catalyst in the critical analysis of various social conditions. It is implemented as a proactive means to eradicate various forms of social oppression with the ultimate goal of social justice in mind.\n\n\nImplementation\n"Anti-bias education takes an active, problem solving approach that is integrated into all aspects of an existing curriculum and a school’s environment" [1] \nA successful implementation of the anti-bias curriculum is applied in both the formal curriculum (also referred to as the core curriculum) and the hidden curriculum.\n\nThe formal curriculum consists of the educational content, expectations, course materials (e.g. textbooks), evaluation, and instruction. \nThe hidden curriculum encompasses all the values passed on by teachers and educators, and from the school or educational milieu (i.e. the culture of the educational setting). For instance, the hidden curriculum teaches children and students about punctuality amongst other things and transmits dominant culture (e.g. chosen holiday celebration). \nThe anti-bias curriculum acknowledges that varying degrees and layers of oppression exist in educational institutions. These affect not only children’s abilities and outcomes in learning, but also impede on the level of opportunities, overall well-being, and development. Since education is both an institution and an agent of socialization, it plays a momentous role in perpetuating existing forms of social oppression.\n\nThe anti-bias approach of teaching urges educators to be aware of these social limitations and eliminate them to create social justice for all. Education should be at the forefront in learning about acceptance, tolerance and respect. The anti-bias approach teaches children that there is an imbedded connection between race/ethnicity, gender, religion, social class, and physical ability to power, privilege, prestige, and opportunity. Through this approach children are taught to critically analyze what is being presented to them while learning about acceptance, respect, and tolerance.\n\n\nStrategies for Implementation\nThe following is a list of strategies that can be used to create a rich educational context that explores issues around gender, race/ethnicity, and physical ability. This list was modified from Derman-Sparks (1989).\n\nThe Visual/Aesthetic Environment\nThe educational environment should be welcoming, aesthetically pleasing, but most importantly make all children and families feel included and comfortable.\n\nAttractively display pictures of all the children, families, and staff in your class. \nIf the class is racially/ethnically homogeneous, include pictures and images of children, adults, and families from the major racial/ethnic group in the community and larger society. \nEnsure that the images and pictures reflect people's current daily lives in work settings and with their families during leisurely activities. \nMake sure people of colour are not represented as "tokens" - only one or two. Have a balance among different groups. \nInclude a balance of images and pictures of both women and men shown doing "jobs at home" and "jobs outside the home." Stay away from images that exemplify women and men doing stereotypical gender activities. \nInclude images of elderly people of various backgrounds doing a range of activities. \nUse various pictures depicting differently abled people o

Social Studies fair project is a big topic.  I am also not sure what grade you are in...so I am not sure if this is a good answer.  How about pick a topic (women's rights, discrimination, drugs, safety, world news, current events) and do a survey.  You can print up question sheets and have your friends, family, and classmates answer them.  For your fair, you can present your findings on a poster or something.
