Winterbourne View abuse (May 2011) – undercover investigation by the BBC: It revealed criminal abuse by staff of patients at Winterbourne View Hospital near Bristol. Residents with learning disabilities and challenging behaviour were exposed to physical and psychological abuse. It was reported that staff assaulted patients, restraining under the chairs and giving cold punishment showers, left outside in cold weather, were poking resident in the eyes and pouring mouthwash into another’s eyes, patients’ hair were pulled and medication forced into their mouths. It was a failure at any
This shows that the doctors had no chance of standing up to Bevan and had to do as he said. The source details illustrate the doctors opposition the NHS through the sick faces and general unhappiness of the cartoon doctors as they line up to take their ‘medicine’ from the NHS labeled pot. “It still tastes awful” this quote shows the doctors unwilling acceptance of the NHS as they are swallowing the ‘medicine’ but the nasty taste it leaves in their mouths show that it wasn’t happily done. Source two has the same impression as source one; medical professionals were forced to accept the National Health Service by Bevan. Details from this source show this as it says, “…there will be a considerable degree of ratting…” This means that the doctors will give up the fight because Bevan is too powerful to stand up to.
One similarity they had was that they both were concerned with the behaviors of the government officials. Government officials were being too abusive with the way they were treating people like the story of Marcus Marius. Because his people didn’t do one job right, he was being beaten for something that he didn’t even do. The government didn’t beat the people who were the ones who actually cleared the baths and cleaned them up for the consul’s wife. Another example would be when Augustus’s grandson was assassinated while Tiberius was in power.
Within that setting, the film tells the story of Conrad's attempts to deal with the guilt he feels after his brother's death. A series of psychotherapy sessions with Dr. Berger (Judd Hirsch) plays a crucial role. Seeing Dr. Berger also helps Calvin understand some things, and when in a midnight confrontation he tells Beth of his sorrow that she has substantially changed for the worse, she packs her bags and leaves. The film ends early the next morning, with Conrad and his father in an emotional embrace on the front steps of their home. The movie ‘Ordinary People’, as its name implies, basically deals with average people who are actually very common in real world as their problems are.
Medical professionals and scientists initially blamed the spread on the filth and overcrowding in the immigrant neighborhoods. Immigrants then became the scapegoats and the slums of the larger cities were blamed. However shortly after that Polio spread to the wealthy and again the fear was heightened. Parents were terrified
She takes the patients freedom away, and makes their stay at the hospital even worse. She does not let the men get a say in what they want, if they want something they get it after a long time, or they just do not get it at all. She knows the weak spots for all the patients, and just where to peck at them. The patients try to please her during the group meetings by telling her their darkest secrets, and then they feel deeply ashamed for how she made them act, even though they have done nothing. She maintains her power by the use of shame and guilt against the patients, making them feel horrible.
They quickly mobilized to fight the disease. Public health officials made the influenza a reportable disease but by this time, but it was nearly impossible to keep accurate records of those infected by the disease and epidemiologists to speculate the impact the disease had in certain areas. Mass panic on a global scale set in and public health officials warned of large gatherings and hand shaking. As a result, communities imposed quarantines, once booming businesses such as movie theaters, and roller skating rinks were forced to lock their doors. Schools and churches closed their doors as well, libraries avoided lending out books, and civilians were ordered to wear masks, avoid shaking hands, and a no spitting ban was even imposed during this time.
In October 1947, the Committee began to subpoena screenwriters, directors, and other professionals about their known or suspected membership in the Communist Party. This was called the “Black List”, also known as the “Hollywood Ten”, they cited the First Amendment, but this tactic failed and they were sentenced to prison for contempt of Congress (Wales and Sanger). The military was also at risk and 83 alleged Communist were discharged, also nearly 3,000 seamen and longshoremen lost their jobs due to this cause (Drummey). Suspected homosexuality was also common cause for being a target for McCarthyism. In many cases simply being subpoenaed was sufficient cause to be fired and blamed for this horrific
Caleb’s anger gets the best of him and he brings Aron to see their mother Kate, the owner of the whorehouse. Aron is so hurt by this he runs off to the army as a suicide attempt. Caleb blames himself. He only forgives himself when his father, on his deathbed, says to him the word Timshel, the “two-word translation,”…”Thou mayest.”
Being, flogging, burning with acid, even murder was condemned. It's more violent activities included kidnapping, lynching, setting fire to synagogues and Catholic churches, and murdering a priest began to offend the nation's conscience. Misuse of funds and sexual scandals among leaders brought down their control. By the end of the ‘20s, the Klan had virtually
