30. David Gil urges social workers to question contextual factors that most people take for granted. What does he mean by this advice? Give an example.

ANSWER:  

Possible answer: He means that we need to challenge “truths” that are used to constrain policy options. For example, in many states there is a general assumption that taxes must never go up, or that corporate tax loopholes cannot be closed. In questioning these assumptions, advocates may identify new revenue sources for human services. (p. 96)
