I just need this half paper that I wrote edited to sound more professional and put in APA format. I’ve included the sources and directions and what I’ve wrote below. Thank you
My Topic is elder abuse and the community I’ve chosen is Robeson county NC
A discussion of the attitudes your social problem looks like in the local community you selected, including
How does the community feel about the issue and population?
Have they supported the topic/population in the past or tried to deny/suppress/oppress the people who are most impacted by the issue?
How do the community attitudes impact your population and contribute to the issue?
These can be peer-reviewed sources or reputable websites.
Social Issue In The Community /Interview
Upon completion of my interview I have learned that elder abuse is something that happens quite often in the human service industry. My interviewee told me that oftentimes the elders are abused by their family members whether it is physical, verbal or financial. Some of the residents do not even speak to their family members because of the abuse. She also informed me that the elderly will abuse their caretakers as well. Elders as a whole need a voice, someone who genuinely cares for them to ultimately speak up for them. Often elders are overlooked and this in return can have an affect on their emotional and physical well being. In order to change this, younger people from the younger generations must spend more time with the elders and provide them with the attention and proper care that they desire and seek. The community doesn’t agree with this issue at all. They believe abusing the elderly is just wrong. The people that I’ve spoken to have put themselves in their the elderly shoes. They stated that they would not like it if it was them in the elderly shoes. They would not like someone abusing them in any kind of way or abusing the elders that they love.
