ABSTRACT
As social problems resulting from global migration and interdependence of countries around the world have increased, the need for additional attention regarding ethical cross-cultural social work is needed (Barner & Okech, 2013). However, little guidance from social work curriculum standards in the United States (CSWE, 2015) is provided to educators to help familiarize social work students with these rising international issues (Barner & Okech, 2013) such as global inequalities, Western cultural hegemony, and differential access to resources, including technology. Social work curricula need to address positive and negative consequences and strategies in globalization and prepare graduates to address and understand their related challenges. These discussions are pertinent to cross-national practice and cross-national efforts to define professional values and multicultural changes within nations.
