The article is extensive and includes visual aids like photographs and charts to make it easier for the viewers to navigate the page. It provides a concise description of social work that could use more details to illustrate the extent of work performed by social workers. Currently, social workers provide most of the mental health services in our country. Social workers are no longer limited to assist with family related issues such as adoption and foster care. Nowadays, we can find social workers in hospitals, police departments, veteran offices, schools, nonprofit organizations, and corporations. The article sustains a neutral tone and uses legitimate and relevant sources. It additionally offers a comprehensive Further Reading List for readers who might want to learn more about this profession.

The page could use a section to illuminate viewers on the increasing demand of this profession nationwide, projected growth, average salary, extent of duties, areas of employment outside the government, areas of concentration among other related topics to being a social worker. Another area that I think it could use some editing is in the history section. This section starts with a general history then it goes to detail its history in USA, Canada, and India. I would think that a global overview would serve better and provide a wider view of the relevance of this new profession worldwide.

I think this is a good article that could use some editing to make it more engaging and more balance. Images and charts are too monochromatic, addition of color would help grab the viewer's attention better. The introduction is very concise but not specific enough to give a full description of social work. In the history section, it would be more informative to provide a global history with small paragraphs dedicated to nations where this profession scientifically stands out and state the reasons why. Lastly, the profession section needs statistics on the forecasted growth nationwide, average salary, what kind of demand we are expected to see in the future for this profession and how responsibilities will continue to evolve with time.
