Human Behavior in the Social Environment theories are a crux ofsocial work education. However, they are often difficult to discussin class because theories can be abstract and elusive for students.This may be especially true when exploring macro level theories.Social work students are attracted to the field of social work becauseof its practical application and often because they are interestedin working with micro level systems. Further, in consideringsocial work education at the BSW and often MSW level, usingBloom's Taxonomy, theory discussions and synthesis are certainlybeyond the undergraduate expectation and similarly difficult forMSW students to contextualize. However, HBSE theories are theconceptual foundation of competent social work practice. This lackof exposure can also be said of working with diverse populations.Many undergraduate BSW programs are not in urban areas, butsocial workers need to understand urban problems as they advocatefor social policy development and work with urban client systemsat various levels of practice. As such the authors of this paper havecreated a context for elucidating macro HBSE theories exposingstudents to realistic urban scenarios using HBO’s The Wire. Thisframework provides both explanations of common SW macro leveltheories and discusses the ways in which a contemporary televisionshow can be used in class to annotate macro theories includingSystems Theory, Symbolic Interactionism, Social Construction,Conflict Theory, and Rational Choice Theory
