critical
critical social work is not an ideology or Marxist tendency, nor rejection of proposals. It is rather the fact a reality check.
Why or why be critical? For we long changes social reality and consciously work to the analysis of reality, magical visions, partial, or naive.
To be critical, Indignation is indispensable, we must break with any prospect segment of social reality, that is, we understand reality as a whole, beyond the immediate responses are exhausted, we must overcome planning and positivist rationality or other kinds of thinking that prevent proper study of reality.
Mary Gladys Olivo Viana:
Dr. Psychology and Social Research. School Director Social Work (Planning Minor in Gerontology) Universidad Central de Chile .
One of the most important exhibition of Maria Gladys is that public policies are generalizing, so do not differentiate the subject, ie the identity of this limit. Regarding this point it is necessary to say that the subject is not different from the object.
With regard to public policy failures can identify the problem that people do not have a prominent place in them.
The design of public policies is a character centralized, unresponsive to the real needs of territorial and social sectors which are designed, in addition to not having effective evaluation systems to account for meeting its goals, so that many times the resources used for implementation of the programs are badly worn, after not responding to the expectations and needs of the beneficiaries of these subjects.
regarding exposure of Professor Luana de Souza, we can rescue as a team that features Universal social policies are a reflection of this is that as in Chile, Brazil, there are programs to address poverty, as poverty voices , which delivers to people who receive less than $ 100 a month, a grant entitled "Family Grant" that gives them about $ 150, with similarity to the bridge program in our country, and addresses issues concerning health education , etc.
The speaker proposes five critical with respect to the functions of social policies
1 .- With respect to ideology, used for domination, since what is important for the minority is naturalized.
2 .- Ensure all the profits of capital.
3 .- Exploitation of labor supply.
4 .- Production of inequality, if there is equality of people would not be obliged to sell their work forces.
5. -Social policies are to change society, pero0 not only sufficient to cover minimum needs but that their mission should go much further and is therefore fundamental for the construction of a critical capability.

The seminar allowed us to meet and have a broader view and extensive on social policies, not only in Chile but it also internationally, and different views as was I pose Carlos Montano with his criticism. It was very comforting for us as a team have great expositarores as those mentioned above, and also to realize that many of the concepts and issues discussed at the seminar were no strangers to us as much of the content we've been trying discussed in Social Situations workshop, as in other branches, which helped quite understand the statement made by the guests.
hope that there are still instances how are you, where we can continue enriching our knowledge.
