Radiation Poisoning: A Slow and Painful Death
Notable cases of radiation poisoning include the Radium Girls, Tokaimura's employee Hisashi Ouchi, 美国.S. bombing of Hiroshima, and the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant explosion. These cases not only lead to large numbers of deaths, 但在某些情况下，会导致几代人和土地在未来几年受到影响. While these events could have been avoided, 企图掩盖信息和不道德地处理受害者使其更加悲惨. 辐射中毒的影响既有即时的，也有长期的.

In the late 19th century, the ideological and literary movement known as 复兴运动 swept across Italy. Meaning "rise again,这是对意大利统一和建立民族意识的呼吁. This successful movement allowed Italy to unite its territories, finally establishing a sovereign state in 1870. Although Italy could claim victory after World War I, her political system was divided and becoming increasingly hostile. The liberal monarchy was no longer what the people wanted for Italy, and many political movements and leaders emerged. 贝尼托·墨索里尼认为这是将法西斯主义引入意大利的机会, but he knew he needed more than just a political party at his back. He recognized the need for a new national consciousness, 法西斯主义模棱两可的结构使他能够塑造其政治意识形态，以适应意大利人民的需要. Not only did Fascism take hold in the government, 但它开始将国家的象征神圣化，使自己成为新的国教.
