This assignment is related to the specific case study about the bilingual advantage debate. The students critically compare two influential research papers on the bilingual advantage amongst which one in favour and one against the existence of this advantage, and they write a synthesis report about this comparison. Each student group chooses two papers from a list (see below), one from each category (in favour or against) and each group compares a unique set of papers. This means that in case two student groups have chosen the same set of papers, only the group that was first can keep that set of articles; the other group must choose another set. Each group writes one paper in which they compare two research articles. The word limit of this paper is 3,000 words and the minimum number of words is 2,500 (abstract and front page included, see below). The number of words is indicated on the last page.Each paper has a front page, mentioning the title of the paper, the authors, the name of the course and university, the course titular, and the academic year. The second page contains a 300-word abstract (minimum number of words = 250) in which the group summarises the main findings of their critical comparison. The main body of the paper starts on page three. Pages should be numbered.
4Regarding layout, these are the guidelines: alignment = left. Font = Times New Roman, 12. Line spacing = 1.5. First line indentation. Do not add space between paragraphs of the same style.Each paper ends with a reference list. In-text references and reference list should be formatted according to APA (6thedition) guidelines. Please check https://apastyle.apa.org/. Students are invited to use Endnote for editing and management of citations (not obligatory).Each group receives a score out of 20 on the final paper submitted through Canvas. After submission, students are invited for anonymous peer assessment of themselves and the other group members through Buddycheck. Individual grades may be rounded up or down (max. 3 points out of 20) as a result of peer assessment.All papers will be checked for plagiarism through Turnitin. Plagiarism will be penalised with a null score for the paper, and will be reported to the dean

4. Read the following scenario and give a brief discussion of how you would respond to this situation and how your actions would be related to the NASW Code of Ethics.

Imagine that you are a social worker at a shelter and are concerned about a person who recently froze to death because of refusing to come into the shelter. The city adopts a new policy to protect people who are homeless in the winter. City workers begin collecting all people sleeping on the streets and taking them involuntarily to shelters if the temperature falls below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. You also happen to be in a personal relationship with someone who controls funding for the shelter the more people who fill the shelter beds, the more money the shelter receives. A worried client asks you if he could get arrested for choosing to live on the streets rather than go to the shelter. What are the ethical issues involved? What personal values would you consider in making this decision? What would you tell the client? Would your answer change if you found out that a small percentage of the people who were homeless had an impaired mental capacity to make decisions? Please explain
