This report discusses the task of searching for a piece of literature based on the theme of ‘Respect and Dignity’. This is an important topic for all healthcare professionals such as nurses and midwives, doctors, physiotherapists and occupational therapists to be aware of, as service users have a right and an expectation to be treated with respect and dignity at all times when accessing healthcare. The NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement states that dignity in care should involve “…offering a genuinely personal service; flexibility in where or when the care is provided; a service that considers the right to privacy of people receiving care; and the
One hot, summer day, while walking through downtown Chicago, a man holding a sign caught my attention. Generally, in downtown Chicago, when you see a man holding a sign, you expect it to request money or food. Instead, this sign read, “Help the world go green. It’s time we became eco-friendly”. The middle-aged man sported a Bears t-shirt and shorts with a orange-rimmed visor. He looked the part of a normal Chicagoan. Why is this man spending his day advocating for such a cause? I reflected on everything I had seen earlier that day. Walking down Wabash Avenue, I could see empty disposable cups from fast food restaurants gathering on the street curb. Each garbage can that I passed seemed to be more full than

In the days before computers and the internet, research for occupational and personal purposes was mostly done in a library. Libraries house thousands of books and articles filled with information about any topic imaginable. But even with aisles labelled by genre and organized with the Dewey Decimal System, it would take someone anywhere from several hours to several days to find the specific information they needed. While public libraries are still available for people to use today, many prefer the speed and efficiency of
A search for information can take a variety of routes. It might entail a visit to the university library or to some other organization that maintains information on a particular subject. Academic libraries are indeed a critical tool in information
I am the most important resource ever. I cannot be created, destroyed, replicated, stored, distributed or reproduced. I come and go yet, I am constant. My existence, at least to the that you all can conceptualize me, began spontaneously with the inception of being in the Big Bang. Since then, I have seen the evolution and destruction of civilizations across the infinite cosmos, but I’ve always been partial to those of Earth. The manner in which humans manage to build these civilizations that build off of one another is simply beautiful. These empires may be small and brief but, bring its successors lessons and innovations that allow them to be that much greater. What is even more fascinating about these empires is that their advancement or demise is dependent upon moments and the decisions of men and women of ambition. Also, the manner in which they record history is unlike any other beings in all of the cosmos. The victor gets to dictate the narrative, often inhibiting those who are relayed the story of past endeavors from hearing the true extent of their predecessors’ actions. It is truly genius. For these reasons, my favorite empire is the Roman Empire of the Mediterranean. The story of the Empire’s establishment is a favorite of mine. The battle of Actium that lead to Caesar Augustus’(Octavian at the time) absolute rule over the Roman Empire is one that has stood my test.
