-

Central to the design of this course are the notions that: 1 Development occurs throughout the life cycle, from infancy through old age 2 Observable behavior reflects both organismic (internal) and environmental (external to the individual) influences and their interaction 3 Both person and environment comprise multiple, interacting levels and facets 4 Understanding behavior requires a knowledge of universal principles, a respect for individual differences, and an appreciation of the dynamic tension between the two 5 Oppression and struggling against it are rooted in both person and environment  Understanding human behavior and the social environment is central to achieving the social justice that is a primary goal of the field of social work.
