Drugs, Islam, Education, Literacy and Violence. Grouping them: Drugs/Islam/Violence Islam/Education/Literacy/anti-violence -- Decades of conflict have left an estimated 800,000 Afghans (2.7% of population) with a range of severe disabilities. Main categories of disability are physical (37%), sensory (26%) and multiple disabilities (46%). Between 60-80% of people with disabilities live in rural and poor informal urban settings. Provision of rehabilitative services to people living with disabilities is hindered by lack of institutional expertise, trained practitioners, skilled teachers, weak community knowledge and physical barriers to treatment. Remoteness of services and lack of funds often hamper access to services for vulnerable groups. Only 21 out of 34 provinces have physical rehabilitation services within both the BPHS and EPHS. Majority of services for people with disabilities are provided by international and national NGOs.

Since that day, an almost continuous series of armed conflicts has dominated and afflicted Afghanistan. The Saur Revolution (/sɔːr/; Persian: إنقلاب ثور‎ or ۷ ثور (literally 7th Saur); Pashto: د ثور انقلاب‎), also called the April Revolution or April Coup, was a coup d'état (or self-proclaimed revolution) led by the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA) against the rule of Afghan President Mohammed Daoud Khan on 27–28 April 1978. Daoud Khan and most of his family were killed at the presidential palace Saur (pronounced like sour in English) is the Dari (Persian) name of the second month of the Persian calendar, the month in which the uprising took place

Afghanistan is a multilingual country in which two languages – Dari and Pashto – are both official and most widely spoken.[1] Dari is the official name of the Persian language in Afghanistan.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Afghanistan

Dari is the term officially recognized and promoted since 1964 by the Afghan government for the Persian language,[11][9] hence, it is also known as Afghan Persian in many Western sources.[2][12] This has resulted in a naming dispute. Many Persian speakers in Afghanistan prefer and use the name "Farsi" and say the term Dari has been forced on them by the dominant Pashtun ethnic group as an attempt to distance Afghans from their cultural, linguistic, and historical ties to the Persian-speaking world, which includes Iran, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dari_language

The Pashtuns (/ˈpʌʃˌtʊnz/, /ˈpɑːʃˌtʊnz/ or /ˈpæʃˌtuːnz/; Pashto: پښتانه‎ Pax̌tānə; singular masculine: پښتون Pax̌tūn, feminine: پښتنه Pax̌tana; also Pukhtuns), historically known as ethnic Afghans (Persian: افغان‎, Afğān)[15][16][17] and Pathans (Hindustani: پٹھان, पठान, Paṭhān),[18][19] are an Iranic ethnic group[20] who mainly live in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pashtuns

It is an Eastern Iranian language, belonging to the Indo-European family.[16][17][18] Pashto is one of the two official languages of Afghanistan,[4][19][20] and it is the second-largest regional language of Pakistan, mainly spoken in the west and northwest of the country.[21] [22]In Pakistan, it is the majority language of the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the northern districts of Balochistan. Along with Dari Persian, Pashto is the main language among the Pashtun diaspora around the world.

Afghanistan, officially the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, is a landlocked country located within south-central Asia. Afghanistan is bordered by Pakistan in the south and east; Iran in the west; Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan in the north; and in the far northeast, China.

I leave you gentleman now. You will now write it; you will interpret it; that's your right. But as I leave you I want you to know.... just think how much you're going to be missing. You don't have Nixon to kick around any more, because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference, and I hope that what I have said today will at least make television, radio, the press recognize that they have a right and a responsibility, if they're against a candidate give him the shaft, but also recognize if they give him the shaft, put one lonely reporter on the campaign who'll report what the candidate says now and then. Thank you, gentlemen, and good day.

But it's not just the ratty part of town. The upper class in San Francisco is that way. The Bohemian Grove, which I attend from time to time — it is the most faggy goddamned thing you could ever imagine, with that San Francisco crowd. I can't shake hands with anybody from San Francisco. Decorators. They got to do something. But we don't have to glorify it. You know one of the reasons fashions have made women look so terrible is because the goddamned designers hate women. Designers taking it out on the women. Now they're trying to get some more sexy things coming on again.


Men of intellectual and moral eminence who encourage public disobedience of the law are responsible for the acts of those who inevitably follow their counsel: the poor, the ignorant and the impressionable. For example, to the professor objecting to de facto segregation, it may be crystal clear where civil disobedience may begin and where it must end. But the boundaries have become fluid to his students and other listeners. Today in the urban slums, the limits of responsible action are all but invisible.


Richard Milhous Nixon, the 37th President of the United States.
- Quotes


A slum is a highly populated urban residential area consisting mostly of closely packed, decrepit housing units in a situation of deteriorated or incomplete infrastructure, inhabited primarily by impoverished persons.[1] While slums differ in size and other characteristics, most lack reliable sanitation services, supply of clean water, reliable electricity, law enforcement and other basic services. Slum residences vary from shanty houses to professionally built dwellings which, because of poor-quality construction or provision of basic maintenance, have deteriorated.

Slum - Wikipedia


de·crep·it

worn out or ruined because of age or neglect.


im·pov·er·ish

exhaust the strength, vitality, or natural fertility of.

Synonyms for impoverished
poor, exhausted


Starting in the 17th century, the concept of poorhouses (also referred to as almshouses) were brought to America by English settlers. All orphans, mentally ill and the poor elderly were placed into these living commons. These poorhouses gave a place where they could be given shelter and daily meals. Poorhouses continued to exist into the early 20th century despite the criticism they faced. Much of the criticism stemmed from the conditions of the poorhouses.

Nursing home care - Wikipedia


Poorhouses were then replaced with a different type of residential living for the elderly. These new residential living homes were called board-and-care homes or also known as convalescent homes.

Imagine:

What if?

What if for each 'user', the lack of symptoms are not there for a reason?

What reason?

The 'symptoms' are being 'transferred' over, somehow, to those who are in the elderly homes. Those who are bedridden? What if?

And not only that, but they would have to hear and partly observe what the ones who had their 'symptoms' transferred over from are doing while they are 'high' on those substances but not getting the 'symptoms' for themselves.

The elderly 'hear' their voices, they feel their 'emotions', etc... all because the users didn't want the 'symptoms' for themselves but 'agreed' to some inner thought to have their symptoms 'transferred' over.

So they can use and use, they will have no symptoms, they can do and do while using, but the 'elderly' are the ones who receive both the symptoms and the 'acts' associated with them while in progress. The elderly can't shake off those inner thoughts/images/sounds/words that are coming from the 'users' and so they have to lay there and let them, the users, finish doing their thing, so they can get some regular rest.

Modern British nursing, based on formal training and skilled work, emerged within a tradition of religious sisterhoods (both Protestant and Catholic) and military reforms from the mid 18th century. It exerted significant influence over the development of nursing throughout the Anglo world following the tentacles of the British Empire – indeed often acting as an agent of empire, enabling the ‘settlement of colonies’ by providing health care for ‘settlers’ and eventually indigenous populations as well. Even in post-colonial worlds, British nursing left organizational and ideological legacies that continued to shape nurses and nursing work long after the achievement of national independence. Histories of British nursing, therefore, contribute importantly to diverse national and international contexts as well as diverse fields of inquiry such as gender history, labour history, histories of the professions, and health history broadly defined.

se·cede

  1. withdraw formally from membership in a federal union, an alliance, or a political or religious organization.

The American Civil War (also known by other names) was a war fought in the United States (U.S.) from 1861 to 1865.[c] The Civil War is the most studied and written about episode in U.S. history.[16]Largely as a result of the long-standing controversy over the enslavement of black people, war broke out in April 1861, when secessionist forces attacked Fort Sumter in South Carolina, shortly after United States President Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated. The loyalists of the Union in the North proclaimed support for the Constitution. They faced secessionists of the Confederate States in the South, who advocated for states' rights to uphold slavery.


over the course of four years. Intense combat left 620,000 to 750,000 people dead, more than the number of U.S. military deaths in all other wars combined

The Confederacy collapsed, slavery was abolished, and 4 million black slaves were freed.

The South argued that each state had the right to secede—leave the Union—at any time, that the Constitution was a "compact" or agreement among the states. Northerners (including President Buchanan) rejected that notion as opposed to the will of the Founding Fathers who said they were setting up a perpetual union

The slave-holding interests in the South denounced this strategy as infringing upon their Constitutional rights.

American Civil War - Wikipedia



First the separatists from The British Crown seeking their 'own'.. Then another separation of sorts from South from Union for same reasons of 'seeking' their 'own'.


War with the British, war with one another, nurses need to be established.

By the mid-19th century there would be 100 to 500 inmates in each. The development of this network of madhouses has been linked to new capitalist social relations and a service economy, that meant families were no longer able or willing to look after disturbed relatives

The mentally ill were typically viewed as insensitive wild animals.

With the rise of madhouses and the professionalization and specialization of medicine, there was considerable incentive for medical doctors to become involved. In the 18th century, they began to stake a claim to a monopoly over madhouses and treatments. Madhouses could be a lucrative business, and many made a fortune from them. There were some bourgeois ex-patient reformers who opposed the often brutual regimes, blaming both the madhouse owners and the medics, who in turn resisted the reforms.

The 19th century, in the context of industrialization and population growth, saw a massive expansion of the number and size of insane asylums in every Western country, a process called "the great confinement" or the "asylum era". Laws were introduced to compel authorities to deal with those judged insane by family members and hospital superintendents. Although originally based on the concepts and structures of moral treatment, they became large impersonal institutions overburdened with large numbers of people with a complex mix of mental and social-economic problems.


In the United States it was proposed that black slaves who tried to escape were suffering from a mental disorder termed drapetomania. It was then argued in scientific journals that mental disorders were rare under conditions of slavery but became more common following emancipation, and later that mental illness in African Americans was due to evolutionary factors or various negative characteristics, and that they were not suitable for therapeutic intervention
