Nickel and Dimed: A Response
Jane Doe Example
What is Poverty?
Before delving into advocacy, we must first ask ourselves, “What is poverty?” One definition of poverty was stated by Sue, Rasheed, & Rasheed as:
For people who live in poverty their voice speaks to the experience of exclusion, separation, devaluation, and designation as the “other.” Poor people are seen as lesser beings to be avoided, and arguably are excluded from participation in the political, cultural, and social mainstream of society. (2016)
In furthering our advocacy for these individuals, we must examine the realms of human rights, social justice, economic justice, and environmental justice.
Human Rights
Throughout the book Nickle and Dimed (2011), we are presented with information about discrepancies within both giving and receiving of human rights time and time again. Human rights are those rights that are inherent to each individual, are universal regardless of differences between people, are inalienable, and are “indivisible in that humans are entitled to freedom, security, and a decent standard of living” (Sue, Rasheed, & Rasheed, 2016). Unequal treatment was portrayed towards women in the workforce, single parents, younger individuals, and more when examining all of those in poverty. When noticing unequal treatment such as this, we have two choices: (1) be a bystander and do nothing, or (2) strive for an advancement of human rights and equality.
Advancing Human Rights
Despite knowing the wrongdoings for some individuals regarding their human rights, how can we help and advocate for an advancement of these human rights and equality?
We can begin by simply making our knowledge known and making it known that we are not going to stand for this kind of treatment any longer. By simply raising awareness, we are bound to catch someone’s eye.
We can strive for change. This change can begin at the micro level and work its way up into the messo and macro levels if enough action is taken.
Social Justice Realm
Within the social realm, there is not a single, agreeable definition of social justice, rather competing ideas, beliefs, and themes (Sue, Rasheed, & Rasheed, 2016). “Nonetheless, in carrying out this ethical mandate, social workers must take on the challenge of critically evaluating and defining what is ‘just’ in specific practice situations” (Sue, Rasheed, & Rasheed, 2016).
Striving for Social Justice
How can we strive for and achieve social justice for those within poverty you might ask. Though social justice will not always be achieved (Sue, Rasheed, & Rasheed, 2016), there are some actions we can take in striving for social justice for poverty-stricken people. These actions include:
Standing up for individuals when we witness injustice taking place.
Create policies within our own practices and the practices we work at to support equal justice.
Attend workshops and seminars to increase our own awareness so we can increase that of others.
Economics
To begin, what is economics?
Economics is “a social science concerned chiefly with description and analysis of the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services” (Merriam-Webster, n.d.).
The economics within someone’s life is also the deciding factor for their social class.
“In the area of diagnosis, it has been found that the attribution of a client’s problems to mental illness is more likely to occur when the person’s history suggests a lower rather than a higher socioeconomic class” (Sue, Rasheed, & Rasheed, 2016).
These days, economic status is used to describe and define people.
When economical concerns are involved, equal distribution is not always the case.
Striving for Economic Justice
When talking about economic justice, what does that really mean?
It means we, as social workers, are placed in a unique position to engage diversity and difference in practice (Sue, Rasheed, & Rasheed, 2016).
It means not excluding someone from healthcare, mental care, and society solely based on their socioeconomic status.
Advocating for equal pay between genders, ethnicities, cultures, gender identities, religions, etc.
Standing up, supporting, and making your knowledge known. Let the wrongdoers know you are aware of their actions and intentions.
Environmental Justice
When thinking about environmental justice, it is commonly thought to only be someone’s physical surroundings. What if I said this was not true? An environment needs to be looked at from all angles including their mental surroundings and physical surroundings. “If our profession hopes to understand human behavior in the social environment and effectively and sensitively serve diverse clients, it cannot neglect any level of identity” (Sue, Rasheed, & Rasheed, 2016). In expanding on this, we must pay close attention to the social environment of those in poverty. They are commonly faced with treatment of being less than or not as worthy because of their poor environmental surroundings.
Striving for Environmental Justice
What can we do in efforts to advance environmental justice?
We can begin by examining our own environments and completing self-assessments (Sue, Rasheed, & Rasheed, 2016). The more we know about ourselves, the more we are going to be able to apply those knowledge seeking skills to others.
Organize and participate in activities for those in poverty. Have fundraisers, town events, and group activities to improve the environment.
Make note of the environment people grew/are growing up in. This can highly affect every aspect of their life.
Don’t diminish differences that arise between environmental surroundings (Sue, Rasheed, & Rasheed, 2016).

PREFACE Multicultural Social Work Practice is a text that highlights the need for social workers and other human service professionals to form a balanced understanding of not only cultural differences reflected in worldviews but also the sociopolitical dimensions of culturally competent care. The major thesis of this book is that many theories, concepts, and practices that inform social work and other human service interventions are often rooted in and reflect the dominant values of the larger society. As a result, certain interventions may represent cultural oppression and may reflect primarily a Eurocentric worldview that may do great harm to culturally diverse clients and their communities. To be culturally competent, social work professionals must be able to free themselves from the cultural conditioning of their personal and professional training, to understand and accept the legitimacy of alternative worldviews, to begin the process of developing culturally appropriate intervention strategies in working with a diverse clientele, and to become aware of systemic forces affecting both them and their clients.
Although the field of social work is not unlike that of most helping professions, it has always been distinguished by its greater community focus; work in community-based agencies; and work with ecological approaches that involve individuals, communities, institutions, public policy, and a strong emphasis on advocacy and social justice. The settings where social workers function are much broader than those of psychology and psychiatry, and they offer an advantaged position from which to provide culturally relevant services.
The first edition of Multicultural Social Work Practice (written by Dr. Derald Wing Sue) spoke to multicultural social work with clients (individuals, families, and groups) and client systems (neighborhoods, communities, agencies, institutions, and social policies); remediation and prevention approaches; person-environment models; equal access and opportunity; and social justice issues. Two coauthors (Dr. Mikal N. Rasheed and Dr. Janice Matthews Rasheed—both social work professors and practitioners) were invited to collaborate with Sue in writing this second edition, which preserves key components of the first edition to advance a comprehensive understanding of the philosophical, conceptual, and theoretical issues that serve as the foundation for multicultural social work with diverse populations. Further, the coauthored second edition extends these vital components with a new chapter that addresses, among other topics, critical race theory, anti-oppressive social work practice models, and the concept of intersectionality (recognizing the intersection and impact of multiple social group memberships on personal identity). These additions contribute to a deeper understanding of the major components of multicultural social work with diverse populations. In addition to this new chapter on social work perspectives, there are two other chapters new to the second edition. The second new chapter is on microaggressions (forms of interpersonal and environmental oppression toward marginalized populations), with illustrations of the different forms of microaggression, along with social work case examples that address the impact of microaggressive actions on diverse client populations. The third new chapter in this edition discusses evidence-based practice and the significance of developing research-supported interventions with diverse clients. This chapter draws attention to the importance of considering a client's characteristics, culture, and preferences in assessment, intervention planning, and setting therapeutic goals. The second edition also features expanded discussion of religion, spirituality, and worldview. Further, it addresses emerging issues pertaining to diverse populations, such as women in the military. Finally, in this new edition of Multicultural Social Work Practice, many new case examples articulate issues, concepts, theories, paradigms, and practice approaches critical to multicultural social work.
The organization of the chapters in the second edition differs from that in the first edition. One change in the second edition is that each chapter begins with learning objectives. These objectives identify what the reader will be able to do after reading and comprehending the chapter's content. These objectives are measurable and observable outcome statements.
Another change in the second edition is the inclusion of the 2015 Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS) Core Competencies, mandated by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). Since 2008, CSWE has adopted a competency-based education framework. Given that this book is a social work text, it is important that its content reflect the CSWE standards. There are nine interrelated competencies and component behavior statements in the 2015 EPAS, and this edition of Multicultural Social Work Practice gives attention to those competencies relevant to effective multicultural social work practice. The relevant competencies (not the
14
component behaviors) are identified at the beginning of each chapter.
A final change reflected in the organization of the chapters in this edition is that each has an overview and a summary section, and each ends with a list of reflection and discussion questions. These questions allow the reader not only to reflect on the content presented in the chapter but also to examine the broader implications of the content for other domains related to his or her professional development as a multicultural social work practitioner.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS Derald Wing Sue is a professor of psychology and education in the Department of Counseling and Clinical Psychology at Teachers College, Columbia University. He also holds an appointment with the School of Social Work. Sue served as president of the Society for the Psychological Study of Ethnic Minority Issues, the Society of Counseling Psychology, and the Asian American Psychological Association. Sue is currently a consulting editor for numerous publications. He is the author of over 160 publications, including 19 books, and is well known for his work on racism and antiracism, cultural competence, multicultural counseling and therapy, microaggression theory, the psychology of racial dialogues, and social justice advocacy. Three of his books, Counseling the Culturally Diverse: Theory and Practice, Microaggressions in Everyday Life, and Overcoming Our Racism: The Journey to Liberation are considered classics in the field. Sue's most recent research on racial, gender, and sexual orientation microaggressions has provided major breakthroughs in understanding how everyday slights, insults, and invalidations toward marginalized groups create psychological harm to their mental and physical health and create disparities for them in education, employment, and health care. His most recent book, Race Talk and the Conspiracy of Silence: Understanding and Facilitating Difficult Dialogues on Race, promises to add to the nationwide debate on racial interactions. As evidence of Dr. Sue's stature in the field, two studies (1989 and 2012) of multicultural publications and scholars concluded that “impressively, Derald Wing Sue is without doubt the most influential multicultural scholar in the United States.”
