The Vietnam war itself wasn’t as bloody compared to other wars, but the percent that died is similar. Learning about World War II veterans, it is important to consider how veterans deal differently with their grief, the job of combat medics, and how those medics have a higher chance of experiencing PTSD after the war. Many lives were lost during the war and people were affected differently by these deaths. When people in general lose a close friend or a loved one, they experience grief in different ways. Losing a friend in battle could be a whole different situation, resulting in more

Effects from the Great War In the early 20th century during the Great War many problems occurred among the soldiers and civilians. Going into WW1, people really didn’t apprehend the severity and impact that the war would have on society and the soldiers, both mentally and physically. When the soldiers would return home from duty, it was hard for them to go back to their “everyday” lives especially if they came back wounded or mentally unstable.

All of our family/friends could still be with us today if it wasn 't for cancer.

It was first conceptualized in 1980, prior to that, the soldiers were just given psychotic meds and sent on their way.“In World War One, they called it shell shock. Second time around, they called it battle fatigue. After 'Nam, it was post-traumatic stress disorder”(Jan Karon, Home to Holly Springs).

Lyddie should choose to sign the petition. With nothing to lose, Lyddie can help her friend Diana, and help the girls around her to avoid working in a toxic area for a long amount of time and the long working hours each girl must participate in each day. One reason Lyddie should sign the petition is because the working conditions in the Factory are harmful to all the factory girls containing toxic material from the machines filling the air. When Lyddie just figures out that Betsy has to go home because of a sickness of the factory in chapter fourteen, she states while Betsy is leaving to go home in the boardinghouse, “It ain’t right for this place to suck the strength of their youth, then cast them off like dry husks to the wind.”(Paterson, p.113) Therefore, the lint and dust filling the air while girls work each day is making them so sick that they can’t gather the strength up to work hard again. The working conditions is making it very easy for girls to develop strong sicknesses, that could cause them to end up having to leave the factory.

“Shell-Shock” took the British Army by surprise, because they were not expecting the soldiers to have a negative side effect because of the war. Not only did “shell-shock” affect the troops that were involved in World War I, but it also affected the nurses that cared for the troops. When “shell-shock” came to be, the doctors were unaware of how to treat it. Doctors had formed theories from soldier’s symptoms that it might have been a concussion, or unnoticeable damage to the nervous system from the exposure of the repeated shell blasts (Jones 250). However, as the war went on, doctors began to see “shell-shock” as a psychological matter (Jones 250).

I think the Roman advancement that had the greatest impact in humanity was battlefield surgery and I believe that for a few reasons. Before this was invented, if you were in the military, went off to fight in a war, and got badly injured, you would probably just die.
