Read the passage given below and answer the following questions as per the understanding of the passage (Question Nos. 71 to 75)

International social work is a discrete field of practice within social work that seeks to improve the social and material well-being of people everywhere. It is practiced across geopolitical borders and at all levels of social and economic organization. International social work also is development-focused and, as such, much of international social work practice occurs at the local, state and provincial levels within individual countries.

Globalization and the new wave of technological innovations, coupled with global interdependence between and among individuals, groups and nations are having a tremendous effect on social work education and practice throughout the world. With increasing global social problems, social work professionals are continuously engaged in finding solutions to both local and global problems. This trend is reflected in the social work profession’s involvement in a variety of international dimensions of practice and with various organizations concerned with global challenges and issues.

Some examples of levels of social work practice in the international arena include individual empowerment, group empowerment, institution building, community building, nation building, region building and world building. Social workers are also engaged in challenging the current trends in international social policies and programs that affect vulnerable populations. Examples of international social work practice include human rights, social development, advocacy, poverty and social justice, as well as responding to conflict, disasters and the needs of displaced populations such as immigrants and refugees.

It is important to acknowledge that, increasingly aspects of international practice can be carried out within one’s own domestic environment. For example, the rise of migration and displacement has resulted in an increased number of social workers who may or may not identify as international social workers engaging with immigrant and refugee populations in their own counties. Consequently, whether social workers are working locally or outside of their home countries, they need to familiarize themselves with global affairs, and they must develop an internationally oriented multicultural competence to ensure effective delivery of services to vulnerable populations. Social work education therefore plays an integral role in ensuring the integration of international competence of its students and future practitioners.
