Thank you for your time today! It was a lovely discussion #MacroSW

A4: I think I would have my podcast focused on how people think in different situations, be it crime or every day struggles to allow people to see another perspective on behaviors they might not understand #MacroSW

A3: I do not listen to podcasts but I guess something I do like to watch/listen to are murder documentaries. I like seeing how they think and how others see them. It's also interesting to see interviews where the suspect is lying, ie the Chris Watts case #MacroSW

A2: The biggest issue with sharing expertise right now is that I am not a social worker yet. I tried to educate someone the other day and they labeled me as just a Walmart worker. When I find my place in my career, I will for sure advocate more and be loud in my beliefs #MacroSW

I would like for more people to advocate for victims of human trafficking and sexual abuse. The biggest issue is the fact that women get arrested for retaliating against their abuser. #MacroSW

We can raise awareness through advocacy, commercials, rallies, and even just among talking with your peers. #macrosw

A4: If I were to write an opinion piece today, it would be about stopping the divide. The first thing I would address would be to allow people to vote regardless of the part. We shouldn't be punished for being independent and having a mixture of ideas from every party. #MacroSW

A3: To be honest, I don't read the news. I usually watch it or read new articles online. I don't think I've ever read an actual opinion piece. That being said, the ones that are the most impactful and powerful to me are the ones that can provide facts in a meaningful way #MacroSW

A2: Language is important with anything we do. Understanding that language can make something sound welcoming or hateful is something that is a skill that can ensure people are at least listening to you. They won't immediately ignore you or cut you off. #MacroSW

A1: I have never written an opinion piece, but I feel they are necessary to get the word out to the public. We can use social media to start movements. People also learn new ways of thinking by seeing the thought process of the idea on paper.#MacroSW
