King Davis, using the backdrop of the President?s State of the Union and the events of September 11, 2001, raises challenges for social workers as we face new opportunities as a result of this event. Focusing on the theory and findings about oppression and its origins from literature, King stimulates the audience's thoughts about the wider issues that confront our profession around the issue of oppression. He concludes this very thorough explication by stating that there is no singular cause of oppression and proposes two complex causes: the quest for wealth and property and their antecedent primitive survival anxiety. He concludes with a list of steps that could help us address the little we know or understand about oppression, terrorism violence, and ethnic conflicts.
