 1) Which of the following is not considered a value of the social work profession?

1. Dignity and worth of the individual

2. Social justice

3. Services

4. Empathy

Answer: The correct answer is (c) Services.

Explanation: The values of the social work profession are:

  • Dignity and worth of the individual: Social workers believe that all individuals are worthy of respect and dignity, regardless of their circumstances.
  • Social justice: Social workers believe that all individuals have the right to equal opportunities and resources.
  • Empathy: Social workers are able to understand and share the feelings of others.

Services are not considered a value of the social work profession because they are the means by which social workers achieve the values of dignity, social justice, and empathy.
