Abstract

Solving of the social issues is one of the goals of social work and at the same time it constitutes an important challenge for this work. This objective is accomplished by respecting the principles of human rights and social justice. In this field the social workers apply the method of operation appropriate to social work. The three classical methods of social work include: work with the individual case, work in groups and work for the organization of society, i.e. environmental method.

In Polish conditions, it is noted that the most popular of the classical methods of social work is a method of working with the individual case, and the least is developed a social work for the organization of society. Hence, we take the analysis of social issues that require the use of this method of social work. In this context, we also see the need for activation of society by respect for the right to private property, which is a challenge for social work and certainly fulfills the criteria for the common good.
