The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) specifies the ethics and value

The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) specifies the ethics and values of the profession in their Code of Ethics. Section 6.04 of the Code of Ethics (1999) states:
Social workers should engage in social and political action that seeks to ensure that all people have equal access to the resources, employment, services, and opportunities they require to meet their basic human needs and to develop fully. Social workers should be aware of the impact of the political arena on practice and should advocate for changes in policy and legislation to improve social conditions in order to meet basic human needs and promote social justice.(Preamble, p. 8)
With the requirement of social and political action among social workers, there is little political activity among clinical social workers. Why? What barriers exist that prevent social workers from fulfilling this ethical obligation?
What does it mean to be a macro social worker? A micro social worker? Do these differentiations have any real meaning? If not, why is this language used when referring to the social work profession?
In this Discussion, you will look at the obligation of social workers to engage in political action in their practice and discuss why there appear to be different perceptions of the responsibility for political action among social work professionals.
Post (400 to 500 words) an analysis of historical divides (such as the schism between Jane Addams and Mary Richmond) and historical influences on current social work practice with respect to policy advocacy and action. 
Do such schisms exist in contemporary social work? If you think these divides exist, how do they prevent social workers from fulfilling their ethical obligation(s)? Are they important differentiations?

One of the very useful resources for marketing planning, as you learned in Lesso

One of the very useful resources for marketing planning, as you learned in Lesson 2: Marketing Planning and Strategy, is the BCG Matrix. It is designed to give a business a clear idea as to where its products are with respect to the industry they are in and the competition. This exercise will help you practice what you learned about the BCG Matrix. For information about what a BCG Matrix consists of, refer to Chapter 2 of your textbook.
To complete this assignment, follow these steps.
First, choose a specific product from a known brand (you can choose the very same product and brand you are considering for the course project). 
Then do some research about the product and the brand. Specifically, identify the following: 
Product’s market share 
Competitors who compete with the product in the same market
Characteristics of the industry the product is in 
Future of the product
Future of the industry
Finally, using the information you have gleaned, determine where in the BCG Matrix your chosen product stands and explain why in a written report.
