This is a really hard argument because if you attack the enemy army which is attacking you, you have to think about the deaths of your own men. Since bombings where so unaccurate they might have missed and hit themselfs. But if you do attack factories you can slow down the production of weapons. The attack on Japan was not acceptable. The U.S did not have to kill millions of innocent civillians just to make Japan surreneder.
Necessity of the bomb lies with the amount of people that would have been killed in a land invasion, although it was vastly exaggerated. If next generation were raised on the path the Japanese were taking, they would grow up to become monsters. it saved many American Soldiers lives by stopping a land invasion of Japan and prisoners of war were being abused. But the Atomic bomb used against Japan was not necessary to end the war considering the numbers of American lives saved was vastly exaggerated, They were sending their battleships and pilots out on suicide missions as they were desperate, there was a vengeance for pearl harbour and racism towards the Japanese people, many victims of the bomb were civilians that had nothing to do with the war, the only reason Japanese weren’t surrendering is because they didn’t want to give up there emperor to the “unconditional surrender” and to demonstrate their power over the world. The bombing of Hiroshima was necessary to end the war as it would save many lives as suggests in source A “should adopt a position that rather than throw to this bomb we should have sacrificed a million American and a quarter of a million British live”.
The government may choose to keep it out of the news papers but private companies and individuals have the power to save lives. Which would be the right decision in this case but they lie and kill to protect their incomes. They are greedy and this choice and be considered wrong. Morality is low. Now Acshenbach knows and he has the power to alert others of the immediate danger.
Why would a person kill themselves only to kill others? What were their reasons for targeting only the United States? Can their actions be morally justified? Because many of the terrorists killed themselves while committing the terroristic act; and others were killed or died later on, we will never be able to answer all of our questions. However, we can decide if there is a way to morally justify terroristic actions.The two
Furthermore, many of the lives claimed during the atomic bombings were those of civilians. Unlike the victims of the attack on Pearl Harbor, or the numerous casualties of other segments of the army, these people did not sign up to serve their country. The soldiers that were killed at Pearl Harbor or anywhere else during the war had signed up for the army with full knowledge of the risks they were taking. They knew there was a chance that they would be killed in action-but the victims of the atomic bombings didn’t. They were simply innocent bystanders
The Dangers of Assisted Suicide “Advocates of physician assisted suicide try to convey the impression that in terminally ill patients the wish to die is totally different from suicidal intent in those without terminal illness” (Herbert and Klerman 118.) Physician assisted suicide is when a physician assists their patient in dying upon their request. In some states there are laws giving limitations to who can request such a “procedure,“ but these laws are not enough to prevent the dangers of assisted suicide. Assisted suicide should be illegal in all fifty states because it is immoral, dangerous to society, and can lead to the deaths of millions of depressed people. “Critics of physician assisted suicide believe that doctors like Jack Kevorkian are doing nothing less than playing God“ (Gay 47.)
1. No, I do not think that the same situation would have the same ending. Police would not let riots get that out of hand to cause that many deaths and that much damage. They cannot eliminate deaths and property damage but they have ways of dispersing the crowds before they would let 18 people die and people destroy a whole city. 2.
It is both mentally cruel (to BOTH the guilty party AND the victims family) and it is costly to society. Death is final - if someone is innocent they can never be revived; so, in this opinion, it does not discourage crime. Moreover, the death penalty costs the state and US government millions of dollars for each person put to death, making it obsolete compared to keeping the person in prison for life. Religion can also play a part in this, as many religions disregard and don't believe in putting a person’s to their deaths.The arguments against the death penalty are mainly ethical in their nature, that it is basically wrong to kill and that when the state kills it sends out the wrong message to the rest of the country.The main arguments in favor of restoring the death penalty are those of deterrence and retribution: the theory is that people will be dissuaded from violent crime if they know they will face the ultimate punishment and that people should face the same treatment that they gave out to others.Many people insist that, a sentencing judge is required to consider any mitigating circumstances before imposing the death penalty. If we take a close look at the overall problem with the effectiveness of the death penalty in California, we see that “the average was between conviction and execution”
But the US govt. has made its stance very clear that it won’t stop these attacks as they are effective against terrorism. But this has been wrong move on US government’s part as the drone attacks which have resulted in killing of innocent people has led to the creation of more terrorists. It has been seen that those whose relative were
Persuasive essay Would you not do whatever it takes just to know that there is one less murderer on our planet? Give justice to the vistim’s grieving family at any cost? Many people believe that capital punishmant is unethical and should be abolished. But presently, the crime rate is rapidly increasing due to the lack of effective capital punishment. The murderers deserve to be executed like they killed their victims.
