Choice Theory and Human Behavior

According to Schaller (2016), social workers foster social growth and change as well as empower people, thereby improving their general well-being. In my social work, I can integrate choice theory elements in many ways when working with young to middle adults. Firstly, I can work to improve human relationships. The choice theory system can free people to make useful, pragmatic choices in the structures of their limits. This, I can achieve by not dominating other people, but affording them personal freedom. Consequently, the individual would improve and become more efficient, altering his/her behavior to become better. Furthermore, I can employ choice theory elements to gain young-to-middle adults' trust. Youngsters often believe only violent behavior, immorality, and drugs can solve their problems and fulfill their needs. Therefore, I would motivate them to choose depending on their long-term quest for happiness. Lastly, I would employ choice theory to develop a community feeling among young-to-middle adults depending on the idea that we choose to behave in a particular way. This supports development, increases societal welfare, and helps fulfill people's belongingness/love needs.
