Change does not happen overnight. Macro social work practice can not be done without proper planning. #CSUSMSW

[NikaSW @nika_sw]

It was shocking to know how some communities, and schools, are against or unprepared in child sexual abuse education. As social workers, we should engage in systematic change in order to bring educational plays, like "Hugs and Kisses," to schools nation wide. #CSUSMSW

Chapter 9 main takeaway: On a macro level, planned change and action can not happen without a careful study/analysis. #CSUSMSW

[NikaSW @nika_sw]

an agency's "reason for existence" is stated in their mission! #csusmsw

[NikaSW @nika_sw]

It's invaluable to be able to to have live discussions with such a wide reach through social media #maintakeaway #csusmsw

Q7: What single word best describes how the film made you feel? #MacroSW

[NikaSW @nika_sw]

A6 The top 400 richest people have more wealth than the bottom 150 million Americans all together. haha #MacroSW

[Jimmy Young, PhD, MSW, MPA @JimmySW]

Q6: What do you think most Americans don't realize about Income Inequality? #MacroSW

A5 I don't agree that the American Dream is real when the United States compared to other countries is more likely to have children born in poverty stay in poverty. Something is off here... #MacroSW

[Jimmy Young, PhD, MSW, MPA @JimmySW]

Q5: After watching the film, do you agree/disagree with the idea of equal opportunity and the American Dream? #MacroSW

[NikaSW @nika_sw]

I agree. It's a problem when the standard of living is too high to attain by a minimum wage worker. #macrosw

[NikaSW @nika_sw]

A2 When it has negative consequences towards upward mobility. When wages for the middle class have been so stagnant that it reduces their purchasing power that drives the economy. #macrosw

[Jimmy Young, PhD, MSW, MPA @JimmySW]

Q2: When do you think inequality becomes a problem? #MacroSW

[NikaSW @nika_sw]

yep. The United States is a consumer-driven with 70% of the economy being dependent on consumer spending..sooo when the power of spending lowers, the economy will fail. We can't sustain long term on massive debt. #macrosw

[NikaSW @nika_sw]

@TatianaPerill18 @JimmySW and it's the middle class who suffers the most #macroSW

Hey! Nika here, MSW student from Dr. Young's class. #macrosw

#csusmsw Cities in California do not track how many low-income housing units are lost per year - only tracking what is added. Accurate data and reporting can help us fulfill our housing goals.

[NikaSW @nika_sw]

You can not do a community assessment without FIRST defining your target population. #csusmsw

[NikaSW @nika_sw]

Sadly, economic inequality has continued to widen since the making of the movie "Inequality or All" #csusmsw

[NikaSW @nika_sw]

https://t.co/LGlXbaPps3 I ended up with $417 dollars, but rent is due tomorrow (which I'll be short for). I am in pain avoiding a root canal, and I can't afford to fix my car. But can empathy end poverty? #csusmsw

[NikaSW @nika_sw]

On a macro level community assessments can be done with data accessible to the public - census is a good start #csusmsw

[NikaSW @nika_sw]

Social workers should consider the effect systems and welfare reform have on their clients. #csusmsw
