Populations at-risk and Social & Economic Justice
Attached you will find two projects related to populations at-risk and social economic justice. The first is project is from SW 3110 and explores the beliefs and stereotypes facing the elderly. This project gave me a chance to research and explore the treatment of the elderly throughout history. These assumptions made throughout the years has shaped a stigma that surrounds the elderly today which negatively affects their care and treatment. They are often refused services and job opportunities due to their perceived "weakness." This project opened my eyes to the many ways a group can be discriminated against or judged and has helped positively shape my values and opinions regarding the elderly.
The second project you will find attached is my term paper from SW 3710 exploring a historical outlook on mental illness and the treatment of those with mental illness. I pride myself in this paper, a paper that once seemed impossible to complete turned out to be a 4.0 term paper. This paper allowed me to do extensive research pertaining to actually, "What is Mental Illness" as well as the history of mental illness and how the mentally ill are treated throughout the world. Through writing this paper I gained the knowledge to be able to assess the issues with mental healthcare today and the stigma surrounding the mental ill in today's society in order to address these issues once I enter the field.
