“All excess is ill, but drunkenness is of the worst sort. It spoils health, dismounts the mind, and unmans men”, (William Penn a preacher, minister, and missionary in the late seventeenth century). In The Absolutely True diary of a Part-Time Indian, Sherman Alexies shows us how alcohol abuse affects Junior's life, how painful it is to deal with the effect, and how it leads to violence and death of the ones he loves. Alcoholism is a disease that affects millions of people and it isn't different for Indians as we see in every other page of this novel. To understand why alcoholism is a disease, it's important to look up it's effects.
The Buffalo Creek Flood killed many people in the February of 1972. After the flood, Pittston not only didn’t admit the responsibility, but also claimed it as a natural disaster, called it “an act of god,” and later on claimed and blamed that the Buffalo Mining Company was a separate division altogether and that Pittston couldn’t be responsible for its actions. Furthermore, since Pittston rushed to settle the survivors with only 4000 dollars for the survivors from the flood, the survivors are angry with that. So it triggered the survivors to look for a law firm that is Arnold & Porter, and to represent them and seek for justice. After the flood, many people lose everything, and they had no choice but to accept these offers because they couldn’t wait until the lawsuit to follow through, not even guarantee that they will be compensated or win lawsuits.

These awful events, discussed and regarded in a much different light half a century ago, are analyzed quite divergently now that mankind has had fifty years to ponder on its errors. Not only did millions of people perish during the Holocaust and immediately after the Nagasaki episode, but many more lost their lives some time afterwards, victims of physical deterioration, mental illness created by the tragic events, and depression brought upon by memories of the horrors. Anja Spiegelman is one such case. She found her demise twenty years after surviving the death camps, a victim of their memories. In a sense, she did not survive.
But there was no way that Hitler could allow such a large Jewish community to survive. He diverted trains that were badly needed to transport more soldiers to the Russian front just to send more Jews to Auschwitz. To him, the greater enemy was the Jew. Between May 15th and July 8th approximately 400,000 Hungarian Jews were sent to their deaths in Auschwitz which was working at peak capacity and receiving an average of 12,000 Jews a day. Hitler’s obsession with the Jews was his primary focus even in the last moments of his life.

From the fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries, a series of plagues had come through and killed many people. The first wave alone killed 25 million people, or one third of the Western European population. This series of devastating epidemics created fear, gave rise to spiritual panic, and brought about concerns over exploitation. Europeans did not understand the cause of the plague, which made them fearful. You can see the fear in a letter from the schoolmaster at Deventer in 1484.
The horrible image of the creature's outward appearance physically isolated him from society. While society didn't isolate Valerie at first, her parents did.

It was at that point the creature knew he'd never be accepted into society. With this realization of loneliness he found himself starved for affection.
An independent Inquiry was held into the care provided by Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust January 2005 – March 2009, which was chaired by Robert Francis QC. Francis opened with a description of the “appalling and unnecessary suffering” in which corporate interests were put ahead of those of patients. It is estimated 400-1,200 patients died as a result of poor care over a period of 50 months. Robert Francis stated that there was a failure of the NHS system at all levels, in particular the trust board were ‘weak’ and did not listen to concerns. The pursuit of targets, financial balance and Foundation Trust status all contributed to the failings.
