Which article are you evaluating?
Social work

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I recently took a social work class through my home university and found it extremely interesting. Social work will always be a career path or profession that matters because it is making sure the well being of a person is not only acceptable but that their needs are being met. My first impression with social work has to do solely with the American legal system that has social workers to help protect and care for children that are either adopted or are in the foster care system.

Evaluate the article
The article begins with a good lead defining what social work is and gives a quick glance as to its origin and history but also the different career paths that under the main title of social work. The content is broken up in a way that is easy to grasp and understand going from how social work is in different countries, its practices, and then the professions and how those professions work. The article is balanced and does not focus on just one place or one specific area and allows for accessibility to more in depth articles on specific practices if a person becomes interested in a more niche topic instead of the general idea of social work. There are not just proper references at the bottom but also more resources to go further in depth on specific resources. However, there are only two photos when there could be more demonstrating the different practices that are within social work. Overall, this article is well developed and gives great insight to a person that knows little about social work and wants the brief history and overall meaning.
