And they tell me that in Westminster there is never a physician, and but one apothecary left, all being dead – but that there are great hopes of a great decrease this week. God send it.

WEEK 5 TASK 1 - WESTERN FRONT For each source, use the template to explain how useful it is. The first one is done for you as a model.

Source A – Stretcher bearers working on the Western Front, 1916

Useful because it shows: The difficult conditions in which stretcher bearers had to perform their job.

I know this is accurate because: The terrain in No Man’s Land was very difficult to move across and there had to be at least 5 stretcher bearers to carry one injured soldier. The terrain was even worse during major battles due to the heavy shelling that was carried out before launching an attack.

The provenance makes this more/less useful because: As a photographic source this gives us a direct insight into the challenges facing stretcher bearers on the Western Front.

WEEK 6 EXAM PRACTICE 1) ‘Supernatural ideas dominated thinking during the medieval period’. How far do you agree?

Write a counter argument to the model paragraph.

I mostly agree with this view as the Church had such an important role in the medieval period and dominated thought. They taught people that disease was sent as a punishment from God for their sins. The lack of education in this time period meant that most knowledge was gained from what they were told in sermons at Church each week. As a result, during the Black Death of 1348-49, people resorted to self-flagellation as a means to prevent them catching the disease.

Therefore I agree with the statement as the power of the Church, combined with their resistance to new ideas, meant that attitudes in society were unable to progress.

2) There was limited progress in the prevention and treatment of disease in the period c1500-c1700’. How far do you agree?

Write a counter argument to the model paragraph.

I partly disagree due to the role of individuals such as Vesalius and Harvey in improving medical understanding. For example, Vesalius improved understanding of human anatomy. Vesalius carried out a large number of dissections and was able to identify around 300 mistakes in Galen’s work, including that the human jaw was in one part, not two and that men did not have fewer ribs than women. Vesalius published his book On the Fabric of the Human Body which contained detailed drawings of the human anatomy so that others could learn from it.

Another key individual who improved knowledge of human anatomy was Harvey. He carried out dissections and published work about the circulatory system. He disproved Galen’s theory that blood was made in the liver and he showed that the heart acted as a pump. However, despite this improved knowledge, there were still no effective methods of prevention and treatment as a result of their work.

3) ‘Government action was the most important reason for improvements in prevention of illness in the period c1700-c1900’. How far do you agree?

I mostly agree that government action was the most important reason for improvement in prevention of illness in this period. For example, they introduced two public health acts. They passed the 1848 Public Health Act with the intention of improving the conditions of towns. It encouraged cities to set up a board of health and provide clean water supplies. However, it was not compulsory and therefore did not have a great impact. However, they later passed the 1875 Public Health Act which stated that city authorities were responsible for providing clean water and public toilets, disposing of sewage and appointing a public health officer. This law was compulsory and was more effective in preventing the spread of disease. The last cholera epidemic was in 1866-67. As a result the government had moved away from its laisse faire approach and their actions led to improvements in the prevention of illness.

4) ‘Technology was the most important reason for improved understanding in the cause of illness after c1900’. How far do you agree?

However it is possible to disagree with the statement due to the role of key individuals. Crick and Watson built a model of DNA and discovered that it was shaped as a double helix which could unzip and replicate itself. Understanding the structure of DNA was vital as it meant scientists could now identify the parts that carried hereditary disease. Crick and Watson’s discovery was built on by the Human Genome Project, led by Watson, which was launched in 1990. A team of scientists around the world worked together to map the human genome. Their work was important in understanding the cause of disease as it was vital in helping scientists to recognise and understand the cause of genetic diseases, such as haemophilia or Down’s Syndrome
