23% of inmates <u>with a mental illness</u> were being kept in solitary confinement.

Dealing appropriately with mental illness continues to be a problem in prisons in the United States.  A 2010 article in <em>The Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law </em>described how solitary confinement poses a challenge for medical ethics.  The authors summarize:  "In recent years, prison officials have increasingly turned to solitary confinement as a way to manage difficult or dangerous prisoners. Many of the prisoners subjected to isolation, which can extend for years, have serious mental illness, and the conditions of solitary confinement can exacerbate their symptoms or provoke recurrence."

Prison life in general can cause or worsen mental illness problems.  For instance, studies have indicated that about one-fourth or even as many as one-third of prison and jail inmates show symptoms for major depressive disorder.  The rates are highest among women.  One study found that incarcerated women were 50% more likely to suffer from depression as women in the outside world.  Prison life takes a toll on mental health, and solitary confinement especially does so.

Was the Treaty of Versailles a reasonable punishment for Germany? (explain your reasoning with multiple sentences)
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The Treaty of Versailles was not a reasonable punishment for Germany because they were not the ones who started the war and they were not the only ones who fought for the Axis/Central Powers.

Explanation:

The amount of money the Germans had to pay should have been split between the other countries who fought with Germany and Austria-Hungary should have gotten this blame/Punishment but they didn´t because Germany was more powerful and stronger than the other Countries that were on the same side. It also stripped Germany´s 13% of its land, along with the population. Germany was forced to pay 269 billion while their Military was also stripped down in numbers.

How did the Enlightenment philosophy influence European leaders in the 18th century?
swat32
The 18th Century Age of Enlightenment in Scotland is universally acknowledged as a cultural phenomenon of international significance, and philosophy equally 
 widely regarded as central to it. In point of fact, the expression ‘Scottish Philosophy’ only came into existence in 1875 with a book of that title by James McCosh, and the term ‘Scottish Enlightenment’ made an even later appearance (in 1904). Nevertheless, the two terms serve to identify an astonishing ferment of intellectual activity in 18th century Scotland, and a brilliant array of philosophers and thinkers. Chief among these, after Hutcheson, were George Turnbull, Adam Smith, Adam Ferguson, Hugh Blair, William Robertson and of course, David Hume. Hume apart, all these figures were university teachers who also actively contributed to the intellectual
inquiries of their time. Most of them were also clergymen. This second fact made the Scottish Age of Enlightenment singularly different from its cultural counterparts in France and Germany, where ‘enlightenment’ was almost synonymous with the rejection of religion. By contrast, Hutcheson, Reid, Campbell, Robertson and Blair were highly respected figures in both the academy and the church, combining a commitment to the Christian religion with serious engagement in the newest intellectual inquiries. These inquiries, to which Hume was also major contributor, were all shaped by a single aspiration – a science of human nature. It was the aim of all these thinkers to make advances in the human sciences equivalent to those that had been made in the natural sciences, and to do so by deploying the very same methods, namely the scientific methodology of  Francis Bacon and Sir Isaac Newton
