A2:as a student, I have not been able to share my expertise in the field yet; however, I hope in the future to share my expertise through my experiences working with kids of various ages and being able to practice attentive listening and effective communication #SWK3100#MacroSW
@BachmannEllison I agree! I think societal views of disabilities in general tend to be very discriminating. In fact, I think the work “disability” itself is stigmatizing #SWK3100#MacroSW
A1: I would like to see the media addressing mental health in regards to body image/self-esteem issues, particularly in young girls because this is an issue that I think is especially common in this generation #SWK3100#MacroSW
A2: As a student, I am learning about how to deliver effective social work services online. Being able to successfully reach a population/community and create connections with individuals through online services will be an important aspect of future social work #MacroSW#SWK4999
A1: I think to be “ready” for the future, social workers need to consider the constant changes in environments, especially in regards to technology. This means being willing and open to adapting and improving practices and strategies to meet these changes #MacroSW#SWK4999
Hi! My name is Izzy and I am a BSW student at the University of Detroit Mercy. I am excited to participate in tonight’s chat with my #SWK4999 class #MacroSW
A2: I think it’s important in an opinion piece to have a clear message that is thought-provoking but also relatable to the targeted audience. Also, building up credibility (appealing to ethos) will be advantageous in spreading one’s message #MacroSW#SWK4999
@KendallDewein1 I agree that opinion pieces can be dangerous in a way; especially since they are biased and if it is a topic that someone feels extremely emotional and/or passionate about #SWK4999#MacroSW
A1: Opinion pieces can be beneficial in that they share information that one may be knowledgeable on and oftentimes are passionate and excited about the subject matter #MacroSW#SWK4999
