Answer:

The Patriot Act has been founded on the argument that, after the attacks of September 11, 2001, the American people had to choose between their security and their constitutional rights, opting to restrict the latter to guarantee security. Despite the broad support received in both houses of Congress, various sectors of American society, still at risk of being qualified to favor terrorism, have criticized the Patriot Act for having suspended the validity of human rights and civil liberties in the United States. In the same sense, several judicial decisions have declared it unconstitutional for violating the rights and guarantees of the Constitution of the United States of America.

Explanation:

The Patriot Act is a federal law of the United States. It was approved by an overwhelming majority by both the House of Representatives and the Senate and then promulgated by President George W. Bush on October 26, 2001, after the attacks of September 11, 2001.

The objective of this law is to expand the control capacity of the government in order to combat terrorism, improving the capacity of the different security agencies by coordinating them and providing them with greater powers of vigilance against terrorist crimes. The law also enacted new offenses and toughened sentences for terrorism offenses.

The Patriot Act has been harshly criticized by various human rights organizations, due to the restriction of liberties and constitutional guarantees that it has supposed for citizens.

Answer:

There is a lot of debate about how much war and medicine have influenced each other. Sometimes war adds to medical knowledge by drawing attention to a particular injury, such as the loss of a limb.  Military medicine has also influenced how medicine is done. But sometimes innovations in military medicine result in better ways to treat an injury or advance fields of medicine, such as plastic surgery, psychiatry and emergency medicine. Triage, the system of prioritising multiple casualties, has been adopted for all emergency medicine ever since the First World War.

For some people, the physical and mental damage caused by war lasts a lifetime. Medical teams have had to develop methods to help them adjust to living with disability and illness. The young men who signed up to fight in 1914 had little preparation or support for dealing with the stress and trauma of modern warfare. Some refused to fight and were mistakenly accused of cowardice. During the First World War, 309 British soldiers were executed, many of whom are now believed to have had mental health conditions at the time.
