Submission Date: 5th march, 2015 INTRODUCTION The science of fifties gave as the most awful weapon ever developed. While the ultimate aim of any research was to find better ways of destroying the enemy during the World Wars, post-war lots of inventions were just as effective at improving lives. Military scientific research and technology advancement during World War 2 and post-war period brought advances that directly affected the daily lives of people across the globe, in medicine and electronics cutting across to deadly weapons as H-bombs. Innovation that came to fruition in the fifties offered mankind tremendous benefit improving life in all spheres of life. These inventions however did contribute to both positively and negatively. The atomic bomb race put humanity at stake since the world could be wiped within a day if any war could escalate which could be catalyzed by sophisticated modes of transport and means of communication like telephones and computers. On the other hand, life standard improved as military research led to invention of many electronics. Rocket science Throughout the 1950s and even 1960s, the US and the SOVIET Union raced to develop sophisticated ICMB’s, which stand for International Ballistic Missiles. These powerful...

...Assess the significance of war in influencing the transformation of approaches to medical treatment and surgery in the period 1870-1990 Throughout 1870-1990, warfare played a crucial role in transforming approaches to medical treatment and surgery as it; prompted more government responsibility in healthcare, innovated technological developments in medicine such as the establishment of blood transfusion services, contributed to individual breakthroughs by catalysing the development, and mass-production of penicillin. However, there's an ongoing historical debate regarding the significance of other factors' influence in transforming approaches to medical treatment and surgery. Other factors include; individuals who used their scientific knowledge to develop new medical treatment and surgical treatments, and the role of the government in enhancing healthcare in Britain. The effects of war were prevalent as early as the Second Boer War; which exposed inadequacies within the healthcare system, instigating increased government awareness towards poor health. Henry Hyndman suggested up to 50% of volunteers were unfit and in Manchester, 8,000 out of the 11,000 who volunteered for the army were rejected as they were physically unsuitable. The public's poor health hindered recruitment for the Boer War alarmed the government. This forced them to respond by establishing the inter-department Committee on Physical Deterioration; which highlighted nutrition as an indicator of the public's...

...Role of Women in WW2 The role of women changed dramatically during and after World War 2 (WW2). Initially women would do the housework and look after the children. During the war, women did not only have to take care of the house, they slowly started becoming popular in the working industry. After the war, women were able to have more power and were considered more than just a pretty face. Topic sentence: Before the war, women had very little freedom, power and job opportunities. Explanation: Women were the leaders of the house. They would cook, clean, wash and wipe whilst looking after children. Some of them had feminine jobs, like tailoring, where they would work and try to earn money in order to support their husbands or if their husbands were unable to work. Before the war, it was generally thought that a MAN was the main bread winner and provider for their families. Ladies were very limited with their social interactions as well. They were occasional allowed get-togethers along-side their husbands. Evidence: Women were devoted to their husbands and if you weren’t married then you were supposed to be devoted to their father. Meaning that you were born to cook, clean, wash, wipe and bear children. Link: But with so many men away at war, this idealistic view began to change. Women were allowed to work and were expected to be an active member of the workforce. Topic sentence: The rise of women and their path to change during WW2. Explanation: When all the men where off...

...minimize pain and not maximize happiness. He starts the article by recounting some of history of psychology that led to the current state of affairs, beginning at World War 2. He claims that right before WW2 there were 3 main objectives to psychology: curing mental illness, making untroubled people happier, and studying genius/talent. These all fell by the wayside after WW2 however as all of the funding began to flow towards the study of mental illness, not towards the study of mental health. This was mainly because of the increase in both the discovery of mental disorders and also the sheer number of people who were left distressed in the wake of WW2. This led to a huge increase in treatments and cures for many disorders. However it also caused many problems in society and science. There was too much focus put on the minority that had disorders, and not on the majority that, although seemingly bereft of maladies, were not altogether happy. Therefore he states that psychology should be just as concerned about what is right with people as what is wrong. The second section of the article deals with the question of what happiness actually is, because we have to know what it is we are trying to increase. Although science can’t illuminate happiness, it can reveal some of its components, which Seligman says are pleasure, engagement, and meaning. Pleasure is described by Seligman as being Hedonistic, or about increasing ...

...their families by December 1914 victorious, yet what started out with high expectations ended more than four years later than the original hope. According to Jennifer Rosenberg (n.d), “World War 1 was an extremely bloody war, with huge losses of life and little ground lost or won“ (para 1). Soldier’s that fought in WW1 were fighting their enemies by hiding trenches firing artillery and lobbed grenades, but when ordered the soldiers would have to leave the safety of the trenches and venture in to what was called “ No Man’s Land “ (Rosenberg, (n.d), para 4) to lead a full on attack. Millions of young Men’s lives were lost do to the lack of armor protection and the lack of evolved weaponry. In 1897 the French introduced early in WW2 the French 75mm cannon that had rapid firing power up to 20 rounds a minute,...

...large scale blood bank both originated during WW2 and increased the efficiency in saving lives, due to advances in blood storage and transportation (“Charles Richard Drew”). This was important because during the war, injuries and blood loss were extremely common and an increased availability of blood likely saved the lives of many and kept soldiers in battle. According to Arrington, blood storage and transportation lead to the saving of a number of lives...

...Arthur Holmes was born in Gateshead, northeast England in 1890. He became interested in science at gateshead high school and continued studying geology and physics after he graduated. He had not only one, but two major contributions to science, he was the first scientist to understand ideas of convection and convection currents in the mantle. He also did a lot of work with the Continental Drift theory and proposed why and how the continents moved over billions of years. Holmes mainly used the technologies of radioactive dating and his scholarship to the Royal college of Science to get more knowledge. Arthur Holmes was a geologist that was one of the first scientists to propose the ideas of convection and convection currents in the mantle & he used new methods to try to figure out the age of earth. Arthur Holmes grew up in a farming stock in Gateshead, England with a Methodist background. He attended Gateshead high school where he became interested in geology and physics.

They are called nonrenewable because they are in limited supply and take a long time to replenish in the natural world ( Aust, n.d.).

...Roosevelt and Kennedy’s speeches Both Roosevelt’s “four freedoms” speech and Kennedy’s Inaugural address talk about maintaining peace and defending our freedom however, Roosevelt’s speech talked about freedom all over the world and the need to defend it.
