The ethical behaviour of doctors has been influenced by recent social and political changes. This paper discusses some of the changes which may have resulted from two far-reaching changes, a major political change, the nationalisation of medicine in the National Health Service (NHS), and a social change, the establishment of the permissive society. Some of the ethical consequences of these changes which are not considered of benefit to the profession or its patients are discussed. The recognition of these changes and their open debate is now essential so that the restitution of professional standards may take place.

Guy Rogers discusses starting the Charlie Russell Riders, an equestrian drill team for young adults in Missoula, Montana, in 1956, because his daughters were interested in horse riding. He describes the choreography and maneuvers the team practiced as well as their success in state competitions. Rogers recalls enlisting in the U.S. Army Air Corps [Air Force] during World War Two. He details the accelerated military training and pilot training that he received, before being assigned to a U.S. base in England. Rogers talks about meeting Jimmy Stewart there after Stewart's plane was shot at by a German plane. Both interviewees talk about rationing as part of the war effort and the importance of national pride. They also recall the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Guy describes spending a year in a German prisoner of war [POW] camp with his co-pilot after their plane was shot down on March 6, 1944, and eight of their crew were killed or missing in action. He talks about losing his leg to gangrene in the camp and the resulting amputation. The Rogers' discusses Guy's homecoming in 1945, including his time in military hospitals, meeting his one-year-old daughter for the first time, and trying to find housing in Missoula, which was scarce due the influx of returning G.I.s. ; https://scholarworks.umt.edu/worldwar2_oralhistory/1002/thumbnail.jpg

There is growing awareness about how social media circulate extreme viewpoints and turn up the temperature of public debate. Posts that exhibit agitation garner disproportionate engagement. Within this clamour, fringe sources and viewpoints are mainstreaming, and mainstream media are marginalized. This book takes up the mainstreaming of the fringe and the marginalization of the mainstream. In a cross-platform analysis of Google Web Search, Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, Twitter, Instagram, 4chan and TikTok, we found that hyperpartisan web operators, alternative influencers and ambivalent commentators are in ascendency. The book can be read as a form of platform criticism. It puts on display the current state of information online, noting how social media platforms have taken on the mantle of accidental authorities, privileging their own on-platform performers and at the same time adjudicating between claims of what is considered acceptable discourse.
