Q: Again about global data in Angular2 If my angular2 app looks like this, and blonde on the top going to talk with ginger on right-middle, should they organize a party for it?
Emit events, use inputs an outputs - this is angular2 way? Data should flow from child to parent to the root, and then from parent to child to the point? I'm new here and often I would like to have some global object where I can keep some information that all components need to know. When data changes in that global object it should be magically change in all other services and components that it injected. For example user login/logout, or if he click on button and so on.
import {Injectable} from 'angular2/core';

@Injectable()
export object Globals {
    logged: false,
    showThatDiv: true
}

But I read somewhere that it is Angular1, not Angular2 way. Is it right?  Or I'm wrong? It's not looks like global soup, just global state's object.
For example now I have this structure:
|-root
  |-google api component
    |-google auth
    |-youtube api
      |-playlists
      |-video
  |-myComponent
    |-sub1
      |-sub2
        |-sub3
  |...

mySub1 component need to know if user logged and if so show (*ngIf) some div in sub2. Or from mySub3 component call checkGauth() in googleAuth service. From mySub2 component add video to YouTube playlist and onAdded show results in sub2, or from sub3 create new playlist and show it on sub2. A lot of variants.
I'm tired to write code for all of it. It make it more complex. And sometimes thinking about do this:
 |-root
   |-google api component
   |-google auth
   |-youtube api
   |-playlists
   |-video
   |-myComponent
   |-sub1
   |-sub2
   |-sub3
   |...

A: Building Services for each of your APIs is a great way of isolating components from being muddled up together. In your case you need to build a GoogleService it can hold your context on the current state the application is running. Services are Inject-able to your components when and where they are needed.
Having said that there is no fine line we can draw in some cases. In those cases,

*

*Message Passing, Pass the data through your components, in your case, if you parent knows about Login and the child wants to know about Login, Pass it through and the bindings will keep it updated for your to reliably use it on your child components.

*Create a Helper that encapsulates all your functions related to your feature. Reference it using the old fashion import and use it on your components.

Emit events, use inputs an outputs - this is angular2 way?

Yes, it is the best way to know what your components need and components emit. But this is not hard, Two-Way Data binding let you get this working with minimal effort.

Data should flow from child to parent to the root, and then from
  parent to child to the point?

Let the child get the data from the Parent via Inputs and return an output as callbacks, Checkout this Blog to see how it is done on a real world app.
Hope it helps to get you started. Welcome to Angular 2 you will love it here !

Songs of Eretz Poetry Review is pleased to present "Storm Advisory" by Carolyn Martin, the winner of the 2015 Songs of Eretz Poetry Award Contest and the Songs of Eretz Poet of the Week for the week of December 14, 2014. Additional poems by Dr. Martin and her biography may be found here: http://eretzsongs.blogspot.com/p/draft-e-zine_31.html and here: http://eretzsongs.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-songs-of-eretz-poet-of-week-for.html.
A winter storm makes land at dawn.
to 100 feet. Schools already closed.
shuts my garden down and sends me fireside.
of the earth I've kneaded daily with intent.
bulbs splashed colors on my plotted beds.
exhausted by the beauty I conceived.
bedding down, one irreparable good-bye.
and tomorrow's dawn reap relentless snow.
I'll design next spring out of winter sleep.
Poet's Notes: The temperate Willamette Valley of Oregon has a long growing season. I start to cut our lawn in March and don't stop until mid-November. By the time the first winter storm appears in December, I am weary of raking leaves, dead-heading the last blooms, and pulling weeds. This poem captures that weariness which is relieved only by devotion to a garden I will miss.
Editor's Note: The poet's use of assonance is just lovely in this one, and I also enjoy the gentle rhythm. This poem reminds me of one of my grandfather's (believe me, that is a compliment). I love the topic, too, though fear that only fellow gardeners will appreciate its many nuances. "Storm Advisory" was originally published in Spark: A Creative Anthology, Vol. V, 2014.

The Bachelor: Olena's exit sets up an emotional finale
The Bachelor finalist Olena Khamula. Channel 10
by scronin
Seanna Cronin APN Entertainment Editor
A US ex-pat, Seanna has been writing about the Australian entertainment industries for the past six years and is also a documentary producer, photographer and scuba diver.
MYSTERIOUS 'bachelorette' Olena Khamula is happy to not be in The Bachelor grand final tomorrow night.
The Sydney-based makeup artist, who intrigued Richie Strahan with her shyness, was eliminated from the reality dating show last night after admitting she didn't see a future with him.
"I wasn't really getting strong vibes from him that I was going to be the girl at the end," she told APN.
"I had a lot of questions for him after our hometown date. I didn't think he was going to come to Sydney (to be with me). I didn't see it happening."
Despite knowing it was over, Ms Khamula allowed Strahan to go ahead with tonight's rose ceremony in Bali.
Richie Strahan with The Bachelor finalists Nikki Gogan, left, and Alex Nation.
"I knew I was leaving, but I wanted to let him make that decision first instead of me walking out," she said.
"To be in love with someone and have him go 'sorry babe you're out' - I would never want to be in that position. I'm glad I made it to third place."
The 23-year-old said she is happily single and enjoying Sydney's social scene.
"I haven't been dating anybody else," she said. "I'm very much single and back in the dating scene. It's been good."
She said either of the show's two finalists, Nikki Gogan and Alex Nation, could be the winner. Both women have confessed to falling for Strahan, a rope access technician from Perth.
"They have amazing personalities and both would suit Richie a lot," she said. "They love their camping and all those outdoor activities he likes.
"I know both of the girls had such strong feelings towards him. Good luck to them."
The Bachelor grand final airs tomorrow night at 7.30pm on Channel 10.

Risvolto di copertina:
The story of the Jewish people in the 21st Century is one of multiple contradictions. Most Jews today live either as a sovereign people in their ancestral homeland or in countries where their rights to religious freedom are fully protected, yet at the same time a worldwide resurgence of antisemitism, primarily aimed at the State of Israel, is underway. Once considered a doomed relic of a fading past, traditional Orthodox Judaism is experiencing sustained growth and vibrancy, yet against this, assimilation and intermarriage is occurring on a massive scale in virtually all parts of the Diaspora. Israel itself continues to record ever more inspiring levels of achievement in all spheres, yet peace with its neighbors continues to be elusive and its enemies worldwide are conducting a relentless campaign of delegitimisation and boycott against it. A Time for Courage, A Time for Hope explores these and other topics relating to world Jewry in the contemporary era, as seen from the perspective of a South African Jewish communal professional, author and journalist.

An archive point is a copy of a recovery point, which is used for long-term data storage to provide further integrity and safe keeping of data. Archive points support all functionality of the recovery point. You can browse and restore your files as well as perform a bare-metal restore. Since an archive point will be retained longer than a local recovery point SBM may have to fetch the data before you can use it for recovery. For more information about archive points, see Offsite Backup and Archival.
Server Backup includes advanced recovery point archiving rules. This process involves archiving recovery point snapshots on a daily/weekly/monthly/yearly basis for long-term storage. For more information about archiving, see Offsite Backup and Archival.
The small application that runs on protected servers and communicates with the Server Backup Manager. The CDP Agent is sometimes referred to as the Backup Agent or "cdp-agent," which is the name of the startup script on Linux.
A control panel instance is an occurrence of a hosting control panel or certain installation on the server where the CDP Agent resides. When working with policies, you must add the instance to the policy. For each instance, specify the control panel type, name, description, and Virtuozzo Container ID if it exists. For more information about control panels instances and hosting control panels, see Hosting control panels.
Server Backup uses the block deltas database to map the block deltas versions and recovery points. This database is a Disk Safe. Disk Safes contain the data needed to restore the devices on a server. Note that you can also create encrypted Disk Safes. For more information about Disk Safes, see Disk Safes.
A log file is a file that lists actions as they occur. Server Backup includes log files that contain messages from tasks performed by the CDP Agent (cdp.log), log files that contain messages from the Backup Manager (server.log), and log files that contain messages from the Web GUI and start up/shut down tasks (monitor.log). For more information about log files, see Access log files.
As a security precaution, CDP Agent allows connections only from specified Backup Managers. To specify a Backup Manager, add a manager public key to the CDP Agent by creating the appropriate text file on the server. For more information about encryption keys, see Add key to Linux Backup Agent and Add the key to Windows Backup Agent.
When you delete a recovery point, you are actually merging the unwanted recovery point and closest existing recovery point. You can discard deltas between the two recovery points and free the space the data consumes in the Disk Safe. For more information about recovery points, see Merge recovery points.
A policy is a schedule of Disk Safe replication and is assigned to a Disk Safe. You can create one-time policies or schedule recurring policies. Policy properties allows you to start the policy at a set time and include the number of recovery points you want to keep in the Disk Safe. For more information about using policies, see Policies.
For more information about using policies, see Policies.
A protected machine is a desktop or server that is backed up or replicated. Server Backup Manager allows you to manage backups for multiple protected machines. For more information, see Protected Machines.
Replication is the operation of copying block-level deltas from the CDP Agent to Server Backup into a new recovery point. Each replication creates a point-in-time image or recovery point of the device. For more information about replication stages, see Understand the replication stages.
Synchronization is the process of creating the Disk Safe point-in-time snapshot and computing deltas based on the last completed synchronization. For more information about synchronization, see Policies.
Volume is the storage capacity of one or more Disk Safes. Volumes are containers in the replication system. For more information about volumes, see Volumes.


Creating a new, healthier you, often means changing your habits and rethinking routines. According to Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit, these cornerstone or keystone habits are foundational to success.
What is a keystone habit? They are habits that lead to a cascade of other positive activities. Take exercise, for example. Many people find that when they exercise, they tend to eat better and sleep better. Instead of loading up on fries and a shake after workouts, they grab fresh fruit or yogurt. Sleep tends to come easier with exercise and, when awake, many people also report feeling more alert, productive, and positive.
In other words, fitness can be a keystone habit that helps put other aspects of a healthy lifestyle into place. It becomes easier to eat better, think better, and feel better. It can naturally propel people toward being their best selves.
Reflect for a moment: What are your keystone habits? Perhaps they include a healthy breakfast, five minutes of conscious or mindful breathing, or a particular bedtime routine.
When you discover the one or two keystone habits that naturally put your life into place, suddenly you find it's easier to be your healthy, new you.
Not sure what daily routines can help you realize your best self? Brainstorm some ideas with your friends/family members and see how they work for you.


Best Online Website Builder Reviews | What is a Website Builder?
To come up with the best online website builder reviews, we need to examine each business from the ground up. You'll want to have as much detailed information you can get to make an informed decision on which website builder will work best for your needs.
To get started, we need to look at what the criteria will be for the information we need to cover.
How easy is it to use the website builder?
What available options are there for template design?
Are there E-commerce capabilities for business?
What are the Providers hosting and pricing packages?
A look into the possible pros and cons?
Conclusion for summing everything up?
Definitely, a key consideration when looking into creating an online presence to understand how the provider's website builder operates. You will want to know how to use the features and functions they have available to you and how easy the platform is to use.
The last thing you want is a website builder you can not navigate around to accomplish the tasks you need to do in building your site. You require a platform that allows you to have the full features and functionality to design and create a site. Once your done building, your website will be and do everything you require it to handle.
For creating any great site, you need a template that best suits the look and appearance you want for your business. Once you have a template that gives you the closest appearance you want your customers to see you need to be able to make modifications.
Even though you should be able to choose between hundreds if not thousands of theme templates, you will never find one exact one that has everything you want. You'll want to find one that has the majority of what you want and require before you need to modify it to become exactly, what you want.
Depending on the website builder you choose will determine just how much control you have for changing the overall look of the theme.
Some website builders allow very little tweaking, while others have many features and functions that let you accomplish a lot of changes. These changes, come in very handy when a standard theme is far too inadequate to what you want.
Probably one of the most important factors to anyone looking to build a site and especially newcomers is the support.
With any website builder, you wish to develop your site with, you may need the help of tutorials to show you how different features and functions are used. This option can save you considerable time and frustration if you do not know how to accomplish things you want to do with your site. Especially if there is something you want to do and the website builder will not allow you to do it, you need to know it's limits and tutorials will usually explain their capabilities.
Hopefully, you choose a website builder that will not limit you to the features and functions you need.
Community resources are another great way to work through problems you may be having and when you require something to be addressed that may not be incorporated with the tutorials then at least you'll have this option.
You want to make sure the community is one that has the knowledge and is willing to be there to help you if you require any assistance.
Another feature that should never be overlooked is the ability to get support for your site and any problems you may have with the website builder and your hosting package from your provider. If you ever run into technical difficulties or just things dealing with the platform your provider supplies you need to know they will be there when you need them.
Nothing worse than having unanswered questions and problems, especially when you consider you're trying to run an online business. You need a site that is fully functional at all times without issues to perform the way you need it to at all times.
For most people looking to build a website, it is usually for the sake of operating a business. With this in mind, one needs to consider the fact if the website builder you plan on using can allow conducting business the way you require.
You'd be surprised to find out how many people chose the wrong platform to conduct their activities with when developing their business. When it comes to doing an online business, the perception people get from first impressions is critical.
Knowing your audience is also understanding a professional image that reflects what your business is all about for visitors once they arrive.
This part could of in many different ways to what determines what you need as a hosting and pricing package. There are three main ways that I would consider this question.
You can have providers that just offer to host with storage space and you take care of the software you use to create your site and get it uploaded for online access. These would normally be the cheapest to have and typically require you to know what you're doing and in most cases how to program.
The most commonly used method is going with a provider that has a website builder and using their platform to create your site. Anyone can see about building a site this way, and you do not need to know how to code to get an online presence. The pricing for these types of providers on average cost more than the first option and cheaper than the third one.
Even though the second method is the most popular, it has many limitations in the fact that almost all newcomers fail to have a successful business online unless they learn from other sources how to make their websites work for them by learning everything that is required.
The third option which is gaining popularity sometimes costs the most depending on where you become a member, but they are more than just a basic provider. They will have the necessary tools for you to learn how to make your site successful by learning about SEO, marketing through all the different channels. So for any newcomers, this can save you time and usually money over method one and two that require you to go elsewhere to know what needs to be done for a successful online business.
By taking a look at the pros and cons of any of the different website providers on the market, you can make a better decision on which platform and provider work best for you.
Each provider will have available benefits, and you need to know if they will be enough. Building an online business is usually far cheaper than the traditional brick and mortar type of business, but you still need to know what will be required and the best way to go about getting or implementing these requirements.
Whatever your provider does not have available for you, you'll need to obtain it from other sources to work this into your decision on which website builder will work best.
Even though you can get things for free, building a business will cost you money somewhere along the line.
Just as the question points out about summing everything up to help you figure out which way you would like to go, I do mention my recommendation.
As it implies, it is only a recommendation and the summary from the review on which you could be looking at could very well be the choice you would like to make. I simply like to present you with what I have learned and discovered through the ten plus years of experience I have gained.
My recommendation is what I have found to be the best but you may feel otherwise. You need to compare what you require for your needs and make a decision from there.
Taking some form action is better than taking no action when you're looking to make a positive change!


When people embark on a journey of self-discovery, they usually focus on the physical and emotional side of their personality. Rarely do people consider the importance of spiritual self-discovery, even if they identify as spiritual side to their personality. When we take the time to explore the part of our psyche that we sometimes call spirit or soul, we discover a unique and different aspect to our personality we may not even have realized existed.
We are people made up of physical, spiritual, intellectual and emotional dimensions. We experience the world and the experiences we go through in the world, by looking at them through these dimensions. This is not new. We know that humanity has always considered these dimensions. Roman and Greek mythology, Roman astrology and ancient religions are all testimony to the very real role that spirituality has played in human development.
We perhaps identify best with the moment we see a magnificent sunrise, or an amazing act of nature that leaves us in a state of bewilderment and wonder, recognizing there are things in our life that are beyond our ability to control. We have a conscious or unconscious desire to know this power and it is what we can term spirituality.
When people think of spiritual wellbeing, they usually think of God. Whoever or whatever they conceive "him" to be. Some consider him a supreme being and others consider him as "the man upstairs" a belligerent father figure. Still others reject the concept of any sort of being, and find their spirituality in the earth, or in nature.
So how do we discover the spiritual side of our personalities? Some people discover it through embracing formal religion, others discover it through yoga or some other form of meditation that causes them to focus in on themselves and still others go on a journey of self-discovery and call this a religious experience.
Some have compared this spiritual awakening with a heightened sense of experiencing. As we allow our inner selves to experience life at a deeper level than just what seems obvious around us, we begin to relate to things in a different way.
In whatever we choose to embrace the spiritual side of our personality, when we do focus on spiritual self-awareness we usually discover we come alive in our personality and this has an effect on how we relate to self and others.

Viewing The Fable of the Snake Named Slim
The Fable of the Snake Named Slim
Author(s): Doug Snelson
Audience: Juvenile 5-9
Website: http://www.dougsnelson.com
This fable is a story about Slim, a snake that wobbles instead of wiggles. Slim wants to be a wiggler like his friends. A momentous event determines his special gift through persistence, perseverance, problem solving and creative thinking. He discovers that being different can make the difference that matters most. A perfect read aloud written in rhyming format this is a story of courage, individuality, self-discovery and self-worth. Young readers are captivated by the story's theme: what makes you different is what makes you special. The moral of the story is captured in the final pages: "He could move boulders with unseen shoulders, and he could do it when it really counted." Children know that snakes don't have shoulders. "He could move boulders with unseen shoulders" directly refers to an individual's strength of character that results in positive action when presented with an obstacle.
The book supports social-awareness, social emotional learning, interpersonal skills, and character education programs to establish and maintain positive relationships.
From the Midwest Book Review: Deftly written in a rhythmic text by Douglas Snelson and charmingly illustrated by Renée Snelson, "The Fable of the Snake Named Slim" is a poignant picture book tale told in the style of a fable featuring animals and entertainingly conveying a moral for children. While strongly recommended for family, elementary school, and community library picture book collections, it should be noted that "The Fable of the Snake Named Slim" is also available in a paperback edition.

This entry provides a brief historical overview of international volunteer service, along with changes to traditional forms of international service. It presents a general typology for contemporary international-service programs and reviews how these forms differ in practice. Using the limited data available, it provides a demographic snapshot of the scale and prevalence of international volunteer service from the United States and globally. The entry then reviews critical intersections between international service and social work, and describes debates of particular concern to the social worker profession. Finally, the entry outlines important areas for future social work research and practice.

Social workers play a vital role in helping physically and sexually abused children. In order to play this role, they need knowledge about the nature of the problem: (1) legal definitions of physical and sexual abuse, (2) its incidence and prevalence, and (3) its signs and symptoms. Social workers have three major roles to play: (1) identifying and reporting child abuse to agencies mandated to intervene; (2) investigating and assessing children and families involved in child abuse; and (3) providing evidence-based interventions, both case management and treatment, to physically and sexually abused children.

Intimate partner violence—physical, emotional, or sexual abuse experienced in both heterosexual and same-sex relationships—has emerged as a significant and complex social problem warranting the attention of social workers. Numerous risk factors have been identified in individual perpetrators and victims, as well as at the level of the relationship, community, and society. Partner violence has diverse consequences for female victims, as well as for perpetrators and children who are exposed to it. Although many female victims do seek help and end abusive relationships, seeking help from professionals such as social workers is often a last resort.

Intimate partner violence—the continual and systematic exercise of power and control within an intimate relationship that often also includes physical and sexual violence—has emerged as a significant and complex social problem warranting the attention of social workers. Risk and protective factors have been identified at the individual, family, community, and societal levels. Some of these risk factors for repeat and lethal violence have been organized into risk assessment instruments that can be used by social workers to educate and empower survivors. Intimate partner violence has multiple negative health and mental health consequences for female victims and their children. Social workers in all areas of practice should be prepared to intervene with victims of intimate partner violence in a culturally competent manner using a strengths-based framework.

This section defines and discusses the jurisdictions of the juvenile and family courts as well as their influences on social work practice. The history of the court, several interpretations of it, as well as various reform efforts are reviewed. Opportunities for social workers to be employed by the numerous agencies affiliated with the court, as well as several nontraditional social work roles, are outlined in this section. The final two parts of the section discuss the major innovations and primary challenges faced by the contemporary court such as gender, class, and racial biases in the system, questions about the effectiveness of the court and associated programs. Finally, proposals to abolish or reinvent the juvenile court are presented.

According to U.S. census data, an estimated 270,313 American children were living in households headed by same-sex couples in 2005, and nearly twice that number had a single lesbian or gay parent. Since the 1990s, a quiet revolution has been blooming in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community. More and more lesbians and gay men from all walks of life are becoming parents. LGBT people become parents for some of the same reasons that heterosexual people do. Some pursue parenting as single people and others seek to create a family as a couple; still other LGBT people became parents in a heterosexual relationship. Although there are many common themes between LGBT parenting and heterosexual parenting, there are also some unique features. Unlike their heterosexual counterparts, who couple, get pregnant, and give birth, most LGBT individuals and couples who wish to parent must consider many other variables in deciding whether to become parents because the birth option is not the only option.

The process of decolonizing is a precursor to liberatory transformation and the foundation for the creation of liberation-based practices. Decolonizing strategies call for changing the lens and the language and debunking the myth of healing through diagnostic codes; and the rigid compartmentalization of mind-body of individuals, and of individuals with regard to their families, their context, and their healing spaces Decolonizing strategies encompass the multiplicity of personal and public institutional locations that frame identities within historic, colonial, economic, and political life. People in various global localities are unwittingly situated within a range of broad and nuanced descriptors, such as indigenous hosts, nationality, ethnicity, class, gender, sexual orientation, ability, or religious preference or a combination of these. These personal economic, social, and political intersections are largely unacknowledged by early-21st-century Western models of psychological practice in social work and allied disciplines. Postmodernism and poststructuralism as epistemological frameworks still reproduce a particular form of coloniality. Alternatively, liberation-based practice locates the complexities of these frameworks within a societal matrix that shapes relationships in the context of power, privilege, and oppression. Accompanied by tools for identifying and decolonizing lived experiences within culture circles, liberation-based practice builds on the foundations of critical consciousness, empowerment, and accountability.
Marriage and Domestic Partnership

This entry briefly covers the history, demographics, research, clinical practice, diversity, debates, and trends surrounding marriage and domestic partnership in the United States. Who marries and why, when, and at what rate people marry is covered, as are some of the statistics behind alternatives to marriage, such as cohabitation, domestic partnership, and civil unions. It is beyond the scope of this entry to discuss in detail relationship dissolution and divorce, although information is provided insomuch as it relates to marriage and domestic partnership.
The ability to form close relationships with others is a crucial component of life span development. In fact, an inability to do so may be considered partial criteria for some types of mental disorders (American Psychiatric Association, 2000). Psychologist Erik Erikson (1980) theorized that young adults must master intimacy over isolation if they are to move successfully through his proposed stages of psychosocial development. Apart from these theoretical obligations, much of global society sanctions the forming of close relationships that it deems appropriate. Proms, engagements, weddings, and anniversary celebrations serve to socially reinforce (usually heterosexual) couplings and the norms surrounding acceptable relationships.
Marriage is the legal, and most often consensual, partnering of two persons of either sex. Domestic partnership can refer to any unrelated persons 18 years of age or older living together for a minimum specified period of time (for example, one year) and in a financially interdependent relationship. Both unmarried heterosexual couples and same-sex couples can apply for domestic partner status in those jurisdictions, companies, and institutions that recognize it. However, such distinction still falls short of the 1,138 federal benefits and protections afforded to legally married couples (U.S. General Accounting Office, 1997, 2004). For example, access to a partner's Social Security benefits, Medicaid and Medicare benefits, and veterans' pensions, and the exemption from gift and estate tax liabilities, are just a few of the laws mentioned in the U.S. Code that are affected by marital status. Only marriage offers couples such entitlements; civil unions, a proposed substitute for same-sex marriage and available in only a handful of states, afford no federal benefits and protections.

In 1965, Titles XVIII and XIX of the Social Security Act were passed, creating Medicare and Medicaid and laying the foundation for US healthcare policy. Medicare was originally created to meet the specific medical needs of adults age 65 and older. Currently, individuals with end-stage renal disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and other disabilities may also receive Medicare, regardless of age. Medicaid was established to provide a basic level of medical care to specific categories of people who are poor, including pregnant women, children, and the aged. As part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), states are provided with the opportunity to expand Medicaid to close the coverage gap for public health insurance. This entry provides explanations of Medicaid and Medicare and associated social healthcare programs in the United States. An overview of significant programming developments and current issues of legislative consideration are also provided.

A consistent theme for the majority of men in the United States remains the code of manhood. Men are expected by society to be stoic in the face of danger and to play out, in all aspects of life, the idea of the rugged individual going it alone, even in the face of a quickly changing world. Whereas social-work theorists and practitioners talk about male aggression, sexuality, intimacy, depression, anxiety, addiction, ageing, and work-related concerns, most men are less likely to view these as problems. If they do enter into counseling or treatment, they are less likely to remain for any length of time. Faced with these issues, practitioners are challenged to find ways of engaging men and forming successful collaboration and meaningful outcomes.

If social workers are to avoid unintended collusion with pervasive oppressive systems and if they are to be successful in promoting social and economic justice, a firm grasp of the nature of oppression with its dynamics of power and its systemic character is required. The concept of oppression is presented here, followed by discussion of its dynamics and common elements and the need for social workers to engage in anti-oppressive practice in order to expose and oppose oppressive relationships and systemic power arrangements.

Major socioeconomic developments during the last decades of the twentieth century and the beginning of the new millennium, including globalization, urbanization, the diminishing nationally funded welfare state, privatization, the U.N. Millennium Development Goals, and the consequent rapid expansion of private nonprofit health and welfare organizations, contributed greatly to the integration of social policy in macro social work practice. In this context, policy practice based on specific macro social work knowledge, values, and skills includes problem-solving intervention methods for human wellbeing. This transformation challenges and enhances social work's goals for both individual and societal development.

Political ideologies shape public policy debates as well as the social policy strategies developed to address social problems. The clashes among these long-standing political traditions—conservatism, liberalism, radicalism—reflect fundamental and often irreconcilable differences regarding social, economic, and political life. Ideology also shapes theories of racial and gender inequality. These ideological perspectives and theories are compared for their views on several core issues that underpin social welfare provision, including human nature, need, the general welfare, social problems, and the role of government. The resulting distinctions provide social workers with a framework to more effectively assess contemporary social welfare policies.

Since the Progressive Era, social workers have played important roles in political struggles for social justice. They have criticized, designed, and implemented an array of social policies and have increasingly campaigned for and held political office. Even so, there has been considerable ambivalence within the profession about the extent to which social workers should engage in political action. A major challenge facing the profession during this century will be to ensure that social work students and practitioners understand the impact of political processes on their own and their clients' lives and develop the skills to identify which forms of political intervention are effective for different goals and contexts.
