COLONIZATION AND DE-COLONIZATION 3
about my professional identity and practice in the sense that legal mechanism are supposed to be
implement to end various social injustices and oppression triggered by colonization. I feel that
colonization is a dangerous practice because it destroys the culture of the indigenous population,
promoted slavery, takes away a country natural resources and can facilitate stifling conflicts. A
country should be given an opportunity to control itself hence decolonization is requisite.
Through learning colonization and decolonization concept, it has expanded the horizon of
knowledge and skills in the sense that colonization is a complicated subject that entails a lot of
things (Nagy& Sehdev, 2012).
Working with Diversity
Social work practice has a significant role in addressing a myriad of issues enclosed in
colonization and de-colonization theoretical and conceptual frameworks. Before undertaking any
active part in intervening any problems of colonization and decolonization, social work is
expected to have a precise knowledge regarding the economic, social and cultural institution of
human development and behavior (Saleebey, 2014). The fundamental way of a social worker
intervening in the situation where indigenous population feels colonized includes counseling,
bolster legal process to end the practice and assisting the community to understand their tangible
social services. Demonstrating competence and respect when working with people from diverse
group affected by colonization would involve respecting their cultures, advise them correctly
especially on false stereotype and research well about the dynamics of colonization in that area.
