Whether short or tall, big or small, we are diversified. In order to help others, to change the world, or to create social cohesiveness, thorough knowledge and experience with diversity is necessary. For this matter, social work is positioned around diversity ethics and as a social worker one must proactively work with a diversified population throughout his or her professional career.
