| Description | Some authors (Giddens, 2003; Ferguson, 2004; Beck, 2004) suggest that people in West live in post traditional social order. Processes of the individualization contribute to the fact that our personal identity becomes an individual reflexive project. Social conditions of our daily lives force us to construct our own identity. There are no more external institutions (church, family) which could influence identity building in general sense. There is no more possibility to adopt identity from tradition there is no more legitimation of such an adoption. In the article I try to show that there are new social conditions and that there is a new theme for social work life politics (Freguson, 2004). According to Ferguson we need to renew our understanding of goals and tasks of social work and he suggests that we should be able to develop social work as a methodology of lives planning. In the text I am supporting this standpoint. |
