Week 3 - Assignment
Dignity in Social Care
This assignment will use academic resources from the United
Kingdom (UK) to help you to understand further the modern concept of ‘dignity’
in social care, a theoretical perspective developed in Europe, which is gaining
traction in the United States. The resources are predominantly from the UK
because of the advanced stage of ‘Dignity in Social Care’ concepts, largely due
to more widespread and integrated social care systems in the UK and
Europe. In the assignment, you will review the UK resources and then
respond to the prompts for the body of your research paper, which will provide
details for application of ‘Dignity in Social Care’ concepts in the US.
While the concept is at an earlier stage in the US, there are resources in the
Ashford Library which cover the US – be sure to seek these out using ProQuest
to support your paper. To access the ProQuest database, click on the Journal
Articles button on the library homepage. Select the ProQuest (Search All ProQuest
Databases) link. To limit results to the U.S. try using United Sates as an
additional search term, or you can use the location limiter on the left side of
your search results page to filter your results to those pertaining to the U.S.
[Be sure to
present your paper according to the ‘Assignment requirements’ listed below.]
