human rights 11
The purpose of this assignment is to broaden your awareness of global human rights issues. For this assignment, you will write a 2-3-page paper that addressed the following:
- Identify an article from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; (1 point)
- Identify the related Human Need from Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs; (1 point)
- Identify a potential social work client group or practice area where this issue is likely to surface; (3 points)
- Research the prevalence of your issue globally.You should provide a brief review of the literature that indicates how frequently your issue occurs, if there are certain parts of the world that experience more difficulties than others, if there are certain populations more affected by your issue than others, etc. (NOTE: the questions on prevalence should be used as a guide for the type of information to provide, not as specific questions that must be answered). (4 points)
- Quality of writing (grammar/spelling) and APA 6th (1 points)
As an example, let’s say you identify Article 3: Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of person from the UDHR. The related Human Need from Maslow would be safety and security. You might decide that a social work practice area is child abuse, and you would then go do some research about the prevalence and forms of violence against children around the world.
You should consider using websites such as the United Nations (http://www.un.org/en/index.html) (Links to an external site.)both to get some current information on your topic as well as identify some potential areas of interest.
