This assignment will focus on observation as a social work tool and skill. First, he will briefly describe the observation. Secondly, he will analyze the interactions using a reflective approach. Finally, it will examine some relevant social work skills and values ​​related to the topic at hand. The observation exercise was carried out on the top deck of a London bus on a weekday evening and lasted approximately fifteen minutes. The subjects of the observation were a man in his twenties who appeared to be of Afro-Caribbean descent and a woman of the same age with an Eastern European accent. The man was wearing a tracksuit and headphones dangling from his shoulders. The girl was dressed in smart casual clothes. They were sitting next to each other and talking. At the time of the sighting, there were no empty seats on the bus. I carried out the observation at a relatively close distance, a few seats away from the observed individuals. Due to the nature of what was being said, I learned that they did not appear to know each other. The male observed seemed confident and talkative. He appeared to direct the conversation by asking her a number of questions related to her background, marital status, etc. He asked her, “Where are you from?” », “How long have you been in London?” », 'Do you have a boyfriend?' among other questions. The young girl observed gave the opposite impression. Her tone of voice and body language showed signs that led me to believe she wasn't entirely comfortable with the situation, even though she looked him in the eyes and smiled several times. From an observer's point of view, I felt a certain sense of worry. anxiety level... middle of article ...... effective practice in the field of social work. Works Cited Banks, S (2006).
