Self-Analysis of Assumptions, Values, and Biases

In 2–3 pages, write a paper (APA Style) that includes the following:

• Briefly define (using peer-reviewed literature) the terms assumptions, values, and biases as they relate to professional practice in human and social services. Explain how these concepts differ from one another.
• Explain why it is important to be aware of your personal assumptions, values, and biases when working with human and social services clients.
• Identify and discuss a few of your personal assumptions, values, and biases as they relate to your chosen human and social services professional field. Provide examples to support your self-assessment of each of these areas and what you should do as a professional to ensure that you are acting ethically and being culturally competent.
• Explain how you, as a professional, will utilize your assumptions, values, and biases to further social change.
