Anti-Tobacco Law
CHAPTER 1: Anti-Tobacco Law Global History: Pope Urban VII's 13-day papal reign included the world's first known public smoking ban (1590), as he threatened to excommunicate anyone who "took tobacco in the porchway of or inside a church, whether it be by chewing it, smoking it with a pipe or sniffing it in powdered form through the nose." But the first modern, nationwide tobacco ban was imposed by the Nazi Party in every German university, post office, military hospital and Nazi Party office, under the auspices of Karl Astel's Institute for Tobacco Hazards Research, created in 1941 under direct orders from Adolf Hitler himself. Major anti-tobacco campaigns were widely broadcast by the Nazis until the demise of the regime in 1945. In the latter part of the 20th century, as research on the health risks of secondhand tobacco smoke were made public, the tobacco industry launched "courtesy awareness" campaigns. Fearful of revenue losses, the industry created a media and legislative program that focused on "accommodation". Tolerance and courtesy were encouraged as a way to ease heightened tensions between smokers and those around them while avoiding smoking bans. In the USA, states were encouraged to pass laws providing separate smoking sections. Up to this point, bans were limited to individual cities and counties. In 1975, Minnesota enacted the Minnesota Clean Indoor Air Act,
Anti-Semitism vs. Anti-Americanism.
Roumyana Mihailova 11/2 7th December 2003 Anti-Semitism vs. Anti-Americanism At first sight it seems that anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism are too different to be compared. According to the Torah, Jews are a nation that shares the same religion and history (Tracey npag). For more than two thousand years Jews have been spread all over the world and still have kept their identity (Stefanov npag). On the other hand, America incorporates people of different religions and races and is one of the world powers. So, if anti-Semitism is an attitude against a nation, anti-Americanism is hatred of a prosperous country. However, it turns out that both Americans and Jews have been subjects of disdain. Furthermore, they both have been accused of a determination to dominate the world. The last common element of anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism is religious hatred. The term anti-Semitism originated in 1879 as a result of a theory, stating that Jews are inferior to people of the Aryan race (Glatzer npag). However, discrimination of Jews existed long before 1879. In the Roman Empire, most Jews were not given Roman citizenship (Glatzer npag). Even though according to the Torah the Jews are not a race, in Nazis Germany exactly the theory that Jewish race is inferior to the Aryan race was used as an excuse for persecutions of Jews. That idea became popular and the French "diplomat and
Anti-Semitism in Europe.
Anti-Semitism had always been present in European life and Hitler was an example of an obsessive anti-Semite. He fed on the Anti-Semitism feelings felt by German people and was able to translate his intense feelings of hatred into a series of policies and laws. These laws progressively eroded the rights of German Jews from 1933-1939. Once firmly in power, Hitler's plans for ending the struggle between the Aryan race and the 'inferior races' was set to work. This meant the persecution of Jews. This persecution took a number of forms. In order to conduct it successfully the Nazis needed to create the right conditions for the German people to accept the policy. At first the Nazis boycotted Jewish businesses for one day in April 1933. This was not as effective as hoped and was deeply unpopular. So Hitler adopted a more gradualist approach and a week later he introduced legislation excluding Jews from certain professions such as the civil service, law and university positions. The Nazi dictatorship grew in confidence and the Nuremberg Laws of 1935 increasing deprived Jews of their German citizenship, giving them the status of 'subjects' in Hitler's Reich. The laws defined Jews as a separate race and created very detailed Nazi definitions of who was Jewish. Many people who never considered themselves Jewish were suddenly became targets of Nazi persecution. Marriage and sexual

Anti-discriminatory Practice
Child Health Care Challenges Anti-Discriminatory Practice In this a reflective essay the author will discuss the concept of anti-discriminatory practice as a contemporary issue in children's nursing, in particular disabilism. An observed incident from practice placement will be reflected upon to analysis the implications for personal and professional nursing development. Reflection on an experience has been developed as a learning tool in professional education in order to help promote the integration of theory into practice (Schon 1991). The author has chosen to use Gibbs model of reflection (1988) to analysis the situation. All names have been changed to ensure confidentiality in accordance with the Nursing and Midwifery Code of Professional Conduct, Section 5, (2004). Article 14 of The Human Rights Act 1998 states that everyone has the right to be free from discrimination on any ground such as sex, race, colour, language, disability, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, association with a national minority, property, birth or other status. Discrimination within the nursing profession is explained by Moonie (2002) as a decision to deny one person or group the same rights as another. Neil Thompson (1997) proposes a model to understand the different levels on which discrimination and oppression operates - the personal, cultural, and structural
