Q8: What’s next? How do we as social workers address inequality or move forward? #MacroSW

[TFlowers @TFlower29170309]

@JimmySW @OfficialMacroSW A8: Work within government to put rules in place to limit the wealthy's ability to contribute to politicians. Also need to take power away from lobby groups and reshift the power to unions across industries. #MacroSW #SWK4999

[TFlowers @TFlower29170309]

@araseli604 @OfficialMacroSW @JimmySW Agreed. Not only is it the norm, but 2 and 3 jobs isn't even good enough to help families get ahead.

[NiloSW @NiloSW]

A6: Most American's don't realize the extent to which income inequality exists. #macrosw

Inequality becomes a problem when no does anything to try to help the middle working class or people who fall under the poverty line.

@kaleybond01 @JimmySW Couldn't have said it better than this!!!

[TFlowers @TFlower29170309]

@JimmySW A2: Inequality for me becomes a problem when people working are unable to comfortable afford basic needs such as rent, food, healthcare, utilities. #MacroSW #SWK4999

[TFlowers @TFlower29170309]

@artyia95 @OfficialMacroSW Agreed. The movie really helped put this gap widening over the past 30 years in perspective.

Q1: What's happening today in terms of distribution of wealth? Why's it happening? What do you see happening & what are the causes? #MacroSW

[TFlowers @TFlower29170309]

@JimmySW A1: Since 1970 it has become drastically unequal. The middle class is suffering greatly. The biggest problem is the wealthy are not being properly taxed. #MacroSW #SWK4999

Themes for Q4: Focus on social welfare policy, civil rights can redress root causes of major social issues; advocating for change at the organization and community level will affect individuals and families; create better policy analysis and management skills. #MacroSW

@spcummings A3: The social work profession benefits from macro-level licensure by being an essential part of helping the overall community. It identifies the needs and the designs and interventions that implements and improves the quality of life within that community alone #MacroSW #SW3100

[TFlowers @TFlower29170309]

@spcummings @OfficialMacroSW Also want to add, I believe it is beneficial, the licensing helps make sure social workers are knowledgeable of relevant policy and rules. #MacroSW #SWK3100
