Unit 10 and 11 Discussion

Q Instructions Throughout this course, we've discussed the various ways history has impacted social work. During the last few modules, we've explored current policy and we hope you have seen echoes of these historical events and attitudes today. For this assignment, please choose two topics related to anything from this module's content about immigration and the environment. Choose at least two news sources to review for this discussion. These could include: • Major national newspapers (such as The New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal or, in Canada, the Globe and Mail) • News radio (such as NPR) • Podcasts (such as Up First, The Daily, This Week with Sam Sanders, the Globalist, the Takeaway, or PRI’s the World) • Television news (such as local news, CBC, or BBC) • Specialized or long form publications (Politico, ProPublica, The Hill, The Atlantic, or Vox). Choose at least one article/story from each source (for a total of two). For each article, make sure you do all of the following: 1. In one paragraph or less, summarize the story, including APA style citations. 2. Describe one historical event or attitude that you see connecting to this story and describe the connection. (This is key to this assignment--connect to history.) 3. Choose one thing you think a social worker could do in order to advance social change related to this story. 4. Any questions you have after reading the story. ________________________________________ Requirements In order to successfully complete this discussion, you should: • Be concise. Your initial posts can be brief (approximately four paragraphs total, two paragraphs per story). • Submit your initial post by the date specified on this page. • Respond to at least two of your peers by the end of the week. Your responses to your peers are participation-based. Focus on answering the questions that your peers asked in their post.

Gerstein, J., & Ollstein, A. M. (2021, December 1). Five Takeaways from the Supreme Court Showdown Over Abortion . Politico. Retrieved December 3, 2021, from https://www.politico.com/news/2021/12/01/supreme-court-abortion-523637?cid=apn. This week, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Mississippi’s abortion law that bans abortion after 15 weeks. The current Court, which includes three Trump appointees, has not yet heard another abortion case. Many pro-choice advocates are worried that this Court could overturn Roe v. Wade entirely, the case that established a woman’s right to choose without unreasonable government restriction, rather than continuing on the Court’s history that it simply erodes the rights of Roe rather than overturning it entirely.
