History

Arguments in favour of a minimum wage mostly hang on the idea that firms have a responsibility to ensure that their workers earn enough to live on. If a firm can’t pay its workers enough to live on, then it isn’t a viable business, because it is dependent on wage subsidies. Of course “enough to live on” depends where you live: the cost of living in London is considerably higher than it is in, say, Newcastle, so a minimum wage that would give a reasonable standard of living in Newcastle is starvation level in London. The campaign for a voluntary Living Wage tries to persuade firms to pay above the current UK minimum wage, which is perceived as being below the real cost of living.

What role did helicopters, hospitals, doctors, and nurses play, according to the letters and the video clip?
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer: Brainlist please

Explanation:The helicopters, hospitals, doctors and nurses were usually on the sidelines of the war, waiting for someone to need them. Helicopters would drop supplies and pick up wounded or dead soldiers when needed. Hospitals took in wounded soldiers where doctors and nurses looked after them.4.In the letter that had the greatest emotional impact on me, the writer was describing how his comrade died, and the description revealed the soldiers fear of his own death without saying it outright. This letter made the greatest impact on me because it showed me that even without trying to, soldiers could not help but to express their fear of what is to come with the war.5.The war had a great impact on the common soldier and his family. The soldiers are torn from their homes and forced into battle, which they may or may not want. The soldier may have wanted to go to college or do other things but the war changed all of that. Their families are most often constantly worried about the soldier and his well-being. If the soldier comes home, he then has to readjust to society, and not all soldiers successfully do that.
