Final paper submitted.

Concluding sentence, "We have an opportunity as a profession to do what is right, to no longer be on the sidelines when it comes to making decisions but to be on the frontline when it comes to redesigning and recreating just systems. "

A9: We can advocate for change by talking to our state representative and talking to officials about the gaps in our community. Creating laws and policy that helps our community and the people in it. We can also advocate at a stare and federal level. #MacroSW

[Shelby Scott @shelbyscott_sw]

@sav_lindsey7 YES! Exactly!

[Shelby Scott @shelbyscott_sw]

A8: Frustrated! #MacroSW

[Shelby Scott @shelbyscott_sw]

A7: I think most Americans do not realize that such a gap exists and that it is growing larger and larger #MacroSW

[Shelby Scott @shelbyscott_sw]

A6: You're are more likely to see someone who is white in a higher position then someone of another race. It has been seen that people are not given the same opportunities due to race which then can create inequality in economics. #MacroSW

[Shelby Scott @shelbyscott_sw]

A5: I agree that at one point it existed and it worked however it seems unlikely at this point to get equal opportunity or the American Dream. #MacroSW

[Shelby Scott @shelbyscott_sw]

A4: At this point, the American worker has to look out for themselves because no one else is. The people who should be looking out for the American worker are the officials that they got elected. #MacroSW

A3: Theoretically, the rules set by the government would benefit everyone. In reality, it depends on the law. Laws such as taxes, lobbying, and social programs. Today it seems as if laws favor the upper class. #MacroSW

[Shelby Scott @shelbyscott_sw]

A2: I think it has already started to become a problem. The growth of the middle class is declining and with the decline of the middle class comes the decline in the economy. #MacroSW

[Shelby Scott @shelbyscott_sw]

A1: The middle classes income has stayed relatively the same in the last few decades. While the top 10% incomes are increasing at a higher rate. This is happening due to the top 10% not being taxed at the same percentage as middle class. Which had caused a gap over time. #MacroSw

No matter how much time as passed, the outside bruises may be gone but the mental bruises will forever be there until the child is able to get help #swk315wwu

@michaelah_swk I enjoyed the read, I had no clue that anorexia carried the highest death risk of all mental illnesses. #swk315wwu

“With new evidence, researchers link corporal punishment to an increased risk of negative behavioral, cognitive, psychosocial, and emotional outcomes for children." Read below to see what the American Academy of Pediatrics says on spanking. #swk315wwu https://t.co/4RghRr7qjr

Understanding child abuse, the fatalities due to child abuse and the impact it has. #swk315wwu

[Shelby Scott @shelbyscott_sw]

@michaelah_swk There are so many people unable to talk about what they are going through, especially when it comes to an eating disorder. Talking to others who do not know how to handle it can cause more harm and make them hide it even more. This is an awesome resource! #swk316wwu

[Shelby Scott @shelbyscott_sw]

This article below discusses what is legally considered child abuse and neglect. Laws vary by state but they list out what generally is considered abuse and neglect such as: striking a child with an object, allowing a child to be around or use illegal drugs, etc. #swk315wwu
