Abstract | The author argues that there is not a systematic discussion on indigenization of social work values in Hong Kong. Among the scattered literature, Chinese culture is often stereotyped as a uniform entity which is static, authoritative and reactionary. However, the author postulates that this is not true and contends that people need to have global understanding and evaluation of Chinese culture and its manifold forms in this Colony. Through this,people can have more value alternatives for contemplation on indigenization, that is, to reflect on, to enrich, or even to replace, the tenets of conventional social work values. |
