RESPONSES 1

Social workers that are apart of CPS (Child Protective Services) get a bad reputation because there are many movies and TV shows that turn on these social workers. They paint the picture that they are heartless and malicious for breaking up families. The reality of the matter is that they are trying to look through every resource in order to help the client and the child be as happy and safe. The work environment of a CPS worker is very strict considering this is not something to mess up with so everyone needs to be on top of it. If someone questioned why I was in CPS I would explain how much the intention behind separating families is to take the child out of a toxic environment. Their minds are so fragile and easily influenced so it is very important to take it seriously and set a good example. Children watch something that someone close to them does and they mimic the behavior because they think it is right.

RESPONSES 2

 

.) Why I believe that the public is so negative with social workers is because in the media C.P.S workers aren’t spoken of in the best of light. The only stories that you hear about social workers is when a child is placed in the wrong type of foster care or when a child goes missing from child or foster care. Another reason I believe that child workers are looked down upon is because they get a bad name when they approach someone’s home and the investigator tells them that they are required to enter that home, that’s a straight violation of their fourth amendment rights. Forcing yourself into someone’s home under false pretenses is wrong and should never happen unfortunately it happens all the time in this field of work.

Another reason why social work is looked down upon is because some children are placed in home where they are

> Children are poorly treated

>Known for taking kids away from family

>never published when good foster care placement is good for the community to see.

<easy burnout too much exposure to trauma

>Draining work

>Social and racial inequality on daily basis

I believe that we should help the social workers get more media in their community or world wide. We need to let the community understand that there are so many reasons why a child is taken from their home. And if we understood them we wouldn’t be judging. As a CPS worker, the main job is to help guide families to baseline and protect the children. It isnt to harm them all social workers want what’s best for the children and families

Ever since 2019 the number of kids in foster has been steadily going down in size

>Years Number Of Kids

>2019 >8,676

>2020 >7,972

>2021 >5,269

>2022 >4,918

 

Sample solution

Dante Alighieri played a critical role in the literature world through his poem Divine Comedy that was written in the 14th century. The poem contains Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. The Inferno is a description of the nine circles of torment that are found on the earth. It depicts the realms of the people that have gone against the spiritual values and who, instead, have chosen bestial appetite, violence, or fraud and malice. The nine circles of hell are limbo, lust, gluttony, greed and wrath. Others are heresy, violence, fraud, and treachery. The purpose of this paper is to examine the Dante’s Inferno in the perspective of its portrayal of God’s image and the justification of hell. 

In this epic poem, God is portrayed as a super being guilty of multiple weaknesses including being egotistic, unjust, and hypocritical. Dante, in this poem, depicts God as being more human than divine by challenging God’s omnipotence. Additionally, the manner in which Dante describes Hell is in full contradiction to the morals of God as written in the Bible. When god arranges Hell to flatter Himself, He commits egotism, a sin that is common among human beings (Cheney, 2016). The weakness is depicted in Limbo and on the Gate of Hell where, for instance, God sends those who do not worship Him to Hell. This implies that failure to worship Him is a sin.

God is also depicted as lacking justice in His actions thus removing the godly image. The injustice is portrayed by the manner in which the sodomites and opportunists are treated. The opportunists are subjected to banner chasing in their lives after death followed by being stung by insects and maggots. They are known to having done neither good nor bad during their lifetimes and, therefore, justice could have demanded that they be granted a neutral punishment having lived a neutral life. The sodomites are also punished unfairly by God when Brunetto Lattini is condemned to hell despite being a good leader (Babor, T. F., McGovern, T., & Robaina, K. (2017). While he commited sodomy, God chooses to ignore all the other good deeds that Brunetto did.

Finally, God is also portrayed as being hypocritical in His actions, a sin that further diminishes His godliness and makes Him more human. A case in point is when God condemns the sin of egotism and goes ahead to commit it repeatedly. Proverbs 29:23 states that “arrogance will bring your downfall, but if you are humble, you will be respected.” When Slattery condemns Dante’s human state as being weak, doubtful, and limited, he is proving God’s hypocrisy because He is also human (Verdicchio, 2015). The actions of God in Hell as portrayed by Dante are inconsistent with the Biblical literature. Both Dante and God are prone to making mistakes, something common among human beings thus making God more human.

To wrap it up, Dante portrays God is more human since He commits the same sins that humans commit: egotism, hypocrisy, and injustice. Hell is justified as being a destination for victims of the mistakes committed by God. The Hell is presented as being a totally different place as compared to what is written about it in the Bible. As a result, reading through the text gives an image of God who is prone to the very mistakes common to humans thus ripping Him off His lofty status of divine and, instead, making Him a mere human. Whether or not Dante did it intentionally is subject to debate but one thing is clear in the poem: the misconstrued notion of God is revealed to future generations.
