...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...

...ideologies, the cold war. The US saw communism as a threat to democracy and capitalism. Therefore the US set out a new foreign policy, the policy of containment, in the Truman doctrine. There were however other reasons for the USA’s involvement such as their military confidence, UN agreement, domestic pressure which called for Truman to be more tough on communism and their economic interest in Japan which led to the US government’s decision to intervene in the Korean War. One of the main reasons for the US’s involvement was due to the ‘Policy of Containment’. The aim was for the USA to work with its allies to contain the spread of communism in eastern Europe and Asia using political, economic and if necessary military pressure to prevent the spread of the every growing ideology of communism. The US’s main worry was the communism would spread as most of the eastern European countries were devastated by the war were weak and communism could easily spread through these weakened countries such as Hungary. Europe was divided by ‘an Iron curtain’, the west with capitalism views, and the east with growing communism views. Furthermore, China had fallen to Communism under Mao, which may have been a huge wake up call for President Truman. In addition, Mao had signed the treaty of friendship with Stalin; therefore the spread of communism in Asia and eastern Europe was almost inevitable. As a result of this threat, Marshall Aid and the Truman Doctrine were announced. The US leant large sums of...

...versus new settings. President Dwight Eisenhower’s reputation, despite being one of the most famous five stars general in WWII, went downhill during his office as public viewed him often wander off to fishing and golf trips, leaving most of the official business to his White House assistants (Pach, Jr. 2017), America was in need of a new proactive, younger president. John F. Kennedy was the perfect candidate; young, charismatic and good eloquence. JFK made a strong speech at his inauguration, which proved that capitalism versus communism remains to be another key institution during his office, with US and USSR government being the main organisations behind both Cuban Missile Crisis and Vietnam War. JFK’s assassination in 1964 began to let the Americans realise 1960s was not the golden era they were expecting. Lyndon B. Johnson stepped into office and dramatically changed USA’s involvement with Vietnam War into a full-scale deployment. Legal wise LBJ’s government had to face two major institutions; heavier civil right movement activities and new protests against conscription to Vietnam. Organisations such as activists like Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, the Black Panther Party, countless of students groups and women groups also heavily influenced the cultural aspect, particularly with music. By the time when LBJ resigned in 1969, 1960s USA was in fact falling apart with riots breaking out in almost every major cities protesting against the war and civil rights. Social order in the...

...The Labour party election victory in 1945 was due to changes in social attitudes during the Second World War more than other factors. It produced different political views to that of those before WW2 such as equality and the level of state intervention. This benefitted the Labour party’s electoral victory greatly and outweighs the other reasons that contributed to the victory. Firstly, the social attitudes changed in regard to the significant leftward shift in public opinion and the amount of state intervention that the public wanted. The success of total war showed the public that state involvement was a positive thing and could actually benefit the public. The massive extension of State control, regulation and planning seemed to have led to full employment and a sense of working together for a common goal. Many of the poor population was benefitting from the wartime rationing systems and demand for materials and soldiers as it gave them a substantial meal than what they were used to and they were also able to have a secure income in the household instead of scraping by. The rationing system, along with the conscription of both men and women and the raising of taxes created a feeling of equal involvement and fairness in society, which reflected Labour’s socialist characteristics. The public felt that if these methods were so successful and produced so much positivity in Britain at wartime then they should also be applied in times of peace. Labour’s nationalisation plan...

...relatable ideas that allow his audiences to reflect upon Orwell’s arguments, amongst their own personal contexts for decades upon decades. These ideas constructed from the literary, political and nationalistic worlds, are derived from Orwell’s famous essays, Writers and Leviathan (W&L), Why I Write (WIW), Politics and the English Language (PATEL), Notes on Nationalism (NoN) and Sporting Spirit (SS), which are still studies and read worldwide today. Through Orwell’s essays Writers and Leviathan, Why I Write, and Politics and the English Language, Orwell has been able to establish a literary world for his audience to reflect their literary views and opinions upon. Writers and Leviathan, was a response from Orwell’s political context in post WW2, Britain, concerned with writers integrity. He states, ‘This is a political age.’ Consolidating this statement he lists ‘War, Fascism, concentration camps, rubber truncheons and atomic bombs’. Orwell argues that being a writer in his political age meant having to be aware of political biases and refusing to give into the demands of newspapers and...

...Dystopia Regrettably it is at this point that we find a gradual switchover from Utopia to Dystopia - societies whose planning is far from ideal, and which all too often come to grief. As a concept, Dystopia emerges at the end of the long Eighteenth Century, possibly as a result of social upheaval and the long wars. it comes to the fore towards the end of the Nineteenth Century with gloomy forebodings as to the impact of industrialisation. Some go for a mechanical paradise. Others foresee a world order where things have got beyond repair - and that's not just the machines. Jack London in The Iron Heel (1908)sees the collapse of the American republic between 1912 and 1932 with the rise of 'The Oligarchy' (though he also thinks that international worker solidarity will avert a world war in 1913). Dystopia is highly pessimistic in tone. It traces what happens when things go wrong, either in an ideal world which has gone into crisis or decline, or else is a portrayal of of a world where society has collapsed at some time in the past. It is form of writing with a moral - and a warning. The irony is that reality can be stranger than fiction. The finale of The Mission is a case in point. The humanitarian goals of the Jesuit Fathers ironically contained the seeds of destruction for the Missions. The presence not only of rational Indians, but Christianised ones who were highly skilled proved to be too much of a temptation for the bandeirantes, slavers who came across from Brazil and...

...and the relevance of organizational and personal decision making, and finally the relationship between legal and ethical issues. External Social Pressures The fundamental role of external social pressures are based on social influence. Social influence basically means that an individual’s actions, reactions, and thoughts are influenced by communities or groups. This will include peer pressure, persuasion, marketing, sales, and conformity. (Business dictionary.com, 2015) External social pressure is a very important aspect when it comes to business ethics in particular small businesses in small communities. There are many social expectations in which businesses needs to pay attention to. These expectations are in the areas of community involvement and the responsibility to the environment. “The information age has contributed significantly to this increased importance of social pressure as word spreads quickly when companies fail to adhere to social standards” (Small Business.chron.com, 2015). The influencing of external social pressures in organizational ethics can be positive or have a...

...event which cemented the outbreak of the Cold War was Stalin imposing the Berlin Blockade, taking direct action towards weakening the Americans’ position. One may see that Stalin’s blockade resulted in the official creation of two separate German states, one of the most significant events of the Cold War. On the other hand, revisionists point out that the USSR was taking defensive measures to protect itself from anything that could have caused as much damage as the Second World War, while the Americans, who were superior economically, adopted provocative policies. They challenged the patience of the Russians by hiding crucial events from them, while a range of public speeches and declarations of the need for US intervention in Europe were seen as hostile by the Russians. The US actively had a role in the battle against communism by developing the policy of containment. The Americans also had a fault in provoking and heightening the Berlin Blockade, hence initiating the division of Germany. Nonetheless, the middle ground...

...Major conflicts throughout history have always led to a new way of arbitrating world affairs. The crash of the Soviet Union led to a new making peace process with a diversification of actors and a multilateral approach, especially after the election of Obama that made from liberty a higher priority than security. Since the WW2, Turkey has been considered as the eastern wing of NATO. Since the end of the Cold War, Turkey tried to become an active actor with its own agenda and its own priorities. It is no more a marginal actor in the international scene, especially concerning major conflicts in the Middle-East. To play the role in an efficient way, Turkey built an assertive foreign policy, based on 3 methodological and 5 operational principles. The first methodological principle is to act rather than to react. Those Acts must be consistent with the vision of the world Turkey built, and how it sees itself in this world. The second one is having a consistent view that strengthens its foreign policy. The Third one is making the civil and economic soft spreading power of Turkey their main argument. Those principles led to an operational vision based on five points. The first one is to strike the balance between the security dimension and the liberty dimension in its intern and extern policies. Despite serious neighborhoods problems with security and lack of democracy, Turkey achieved a great constitution revision and has a more and more powerful democracy, where some marginalized...
