Social Work was created on a platform of social activism. The first social workers were grassroots, community organizers. Now it's turned more into a modicum for therapy than action. Poo. :(
For me, personally, the "main idea" or foundation of social work should be empowerment. You can find the Social Work Code of Ethics on www.nasw.org for more info, I'm sure. :)
