HUMAN BEHAVIOUR AND SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT-I

Course Description

This course aims in providing the students with knowledge of various theories related to the influence of the environment on human behaviour. The dimensions of environment include such as the physical environment, culture, social structures and institutions, families, organizations, communities and social movements. Through the use of various perspectives the students learn how to approach problems and conceptualize interventions for an effective social work practice. The first part of the course course provides an understanding of the developmental stages of the individual from infancy to adolescence, and the relationship between human growth, human development, and the environment. Knowledge and understanding of biological, psychological, and social systems relationships; cultural norms; and the significance of interaction with the family, group, and the community are stressed.
