TL;DR: In this article, a study of how both the organization of the legal system and of citizen affairs lead citizens to define affairs as legal matters and to seek advice from a lawyer is presented.
Abstract: This is a study of how both the organization of the legal system and of citizen affairs lead citizens to define affairs as legal matters and to seek advice from a lawyer. The data are from a sample survey of the problems and legal experiences of 780 residents of the Detroit Metropolitan Area, 604 white and 176 Negro. The findings show that income and location in the social structure affect citizen contacts with attorneys not only by providing relevant resources but by determining their types of problems. Each type of problem has its own pattern of requirements and constraints for the use of legal services. The type of problem, institutionalized definitions about it, available resources, and the social organization of problem solution engender contacts with the legal profession.

TL;DR: The social sciences, like the physical or biological sciences, are intellectual subjects, directed primarily toward understanding, rather than action as mentioned in this paper, and they do not look upon the social sciences as simply the tools of social amelioration nor do they regard that as the most important aim or justification of social science.
Abstract: This paper is concerned with all the social sciences, but with only one aspect of them namely their relevance to contemporary social problems. I want to suggest how the social sciences might become more useful and more used in resolving social problems. I do not look upon the social sciences as simply the tools of social amelioration, nor do I regard that as the most important aim or justification of social science. The social sciences, like the physical or biological sciences, are intellectual subjects, directed primarily toward understanding, rather than action. It would, of course, be a curious kind of &dquo;understanding&dquo; that had
TL;DR: A transdisciplinary articulation of knowledge and learning that guides the collective and collaborative construction of inclusive communication strategies and ongoing development of competencies to promote understanding between the players, members of a social network is presented.
Abstract: This article is about the communicative action and information model for social networking in digital environments, a transdisciplinary articulation of knowledge and learning that guides the collective and collaborative construction of inclusive communication strategies and ongoing development of competencies to promote understanding between the players, members of a social network. Information Science, Communication itself and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) promote this articulation in transdisciplinary mode. This model is the basis for the diagnosis and action planning herein: for the collective construction of communication relationships negotiated between participants of the network; for the creation of digital environments that provide spaces for learning to cope with information and communication; so that public communication experts may promote transparency of information as stated in the Constitution and the Law on Access to Information in Brazil. The model articulates methodologies for analyses of the individual and the network (Users Study, Social Network Analysis, multivoicedness) to obtain diagnosis and elaborate communication and information action planning.

TL;DR: Social work has traditionally been regarded as a series of methods, activities, processes and/or tasks which have been categorized under terms such as social casework, social groupwork, community organization, social administration and social action as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Social work has traditionally been regarded as a series of methods, activities, processes and/or tasks which have been categorized under terms such as social casework, social groupwork, community organization, social administration and social action. However, these terms are a non-homogeneous series, and do not enhance clear thinking about the conceptual framework of social work practice.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on some aspects of value as a unified concept in social work in the United States and its diversified expression in &dquo;values&dqo; that is the principles, goals and goods actually deemed worthy of&dqs; (man's &dqs&dschoice and acknowledgement) and examine their implications for social work education, to clarify the relationship between these values and those of the American social order.

TL;DR: The role of understanding in the social sciences was discussed in this paper, where the authors cast rational understanding as the aim of social sciences, rather than the explanation of it, and argued that rational understanding is not the goal of science.
Abstract: Rolf Gruner's article on the role of understanding in the social sciences casts rational understanding as the aim of the social sciences. Even though he opts for a non‐controversial methodology for the social sciences, his view still commits the social sciences to seeking the reproduction of reality rather than the explanation of it.

TL;DR: The conceptual knowledge and analytical approach of the social sciences provides a framework for the identifica tion, explication, and understanding of complex interactional phenomena within social systems in the context of the larger social structure of which they are a part.
Abstract: at accomplishing specific social tasks that will produce changes in social systems and, eventually, in the entire social structure. Only in this way can we "exploit social work's most valuable asset—its concern for interaction between individual, group, and social systems."1 Utilizing the conceptual knowledge and analytical approach of the social sciences provides a framework for the identifica tion, explication, and understanding of complex interactional phenomena within social systems in the context of the larger social structure of which they are a part. This has significant implications for the location of strategic points of intervention
