Even scientists who worked on building the bomb were opposed to its use. Crimes of humanity are usually murder, extermination, enslavement, deportation, and other inhumane acts committed against any civilian. The dropping of the Atomic bomb killed thousands of people and scarred all the people who survived permanently. Seven scientist, who had helped build the bomb, submitted a report to the Interim Committee, which advised the President, saying “If the United Sates were to be the first to release this new means of indiscriminate destruction upon mankind, she would sacrifice public support throughout the world, precipitate the race for armaments, and prejudice the possibility of reaching and international agreement on the future control of such weapons” (John Toland, ibid, p. 762). The scientists are the ones that know best about the bomb, they were the ones that built and designed it.
People were so upset because they were afraid that sending troops to Iraq would take the focus off of Afghanistan and the mission to find Bin Laden. Seeing the way that people just turn against and decide that they want to kill innocent people just does not make since. Looking at this serious situation, many people see that the September 11th attacks badly because it was more of a modern day situation. Also it was in the United States, which we live in. The attack was a very tragic and hurting time in American history.
The bomb was not humane. In the article “Arguments Against the Bomb” by Michael Barnes, Barnes explains how powerful the atomic bomb is; “Entire families, whole neighborhoods were simply wiped out. The survivors faced radiation sickness, starvation, and crippling mutations”. In this quote, it explains how no human could stand against this bomb. Horrific injuries were inflicted upon everyone in the blast radius, upon women and children, and the lasting effects have still yet to fade.
Utnapishtim had been warned that a great flood would be dealt to destroy all of mankind. The reasons for the flood are very much argued in different accounts of mythological studies, but some discuss the reason was that the gods were discouraged by mankind’s sins and wanted to start over by clearing out all that had been created in the beginning. Only one man was to be saved, and that was
The boys think the conch isn’t important and they can just do without it. They think they are smart enough “we know who ought to say things.” (11) The savages have no respect for authority anymore. After they believe that they don’t need authority then that causes authority and order to be gone. A rock is launched at it hits piggy and then “the conch explodes into a thousand white fragments and ceases to exist.” (200) When that happens the significance of the conch is destroyed. The broken conch symbolizes the end of any reason they boys ever had.
In a world that has been flooded by news, there is usually nothing that rises far above the smoldering lava of sensation—that which consumes all truth and absorbs all lies mixing them into a fiery lake or stew of bubbling nonsense. So much so, that to discover glanced over facts, to question people of importance within government or the machine itself leads to the branding of one as a “conspiracy theorist.” Truthfully, there are many people who lived life with doubt over the facts surrounding 9/11, who felt afraid to express it, probably because they feared being accused of “hating America,” of being “with the terrorists,” hence sympathizing with the people who were responsible for killing all of those who died on 9/11. You talk to people
Lastly, they question whether people are just born bad. Referring back to Clarence Darrow, the authors state that “Darrow believed that Leopold and Leob were “born bad” because they were born without feelings as pity and sympathy,” in which they may agree. However, Anthropologist John Townsend writes, that humans are wired for certain behaviors and the behaviors will emerge whether we want them to or not…but that does not mean that we have to act on it. Quotes: “We come equipped by nature with deep-seated desires that we can only resist with difficulty.” “We need an explanation for why some people, but not others, are able to resist the impulses that nature has given
After destroying so much on our way through to South Carolina, it seemed that we had lost sense of what the war was about. It got to a point where we were just destroying land for no reason that just to waste it. By the end of it all, we destroyed 300 miles of railroad, bridges, and miles of telegraph lines. I thought damage to all the forms of transportation and communication were the best advantage to us, but everything else felt dangerous and wasteful. I couldn’t help but feel like I was still in danger, so right before we finished the “march to sea”, I got the hell out of dodge in the middle of the night and headed North to try and get to a free state.
For example, the United Nations was created due to this catastrophe, to end the Holocaust stop it from ever happening again. Though there are still wars today, none of them are as horrible as the Holocaust was which means people have learned from their mistakes. Yes, surprising as it is we learned something from all the horrible things that happened during World War II, like that it is just inhumane for a person to want exterminate an entire race of people just because of their religion, race, gender, or sexual preferences. Overall the Holocaust was a horrific event which lead to deaths of millions and will hopefully never happen
Still to this very day there is no cure for this life threatening disease. The bomb released a very strong substance that we had no clue about. “Others were also nauseated,they all thought (probably because of the strong odor of ionization, an electric smell give off by the bomb’s fission) that they were sick from a gas the Americans has dropped ( Hersey 35).” Things really started to go down,people everywhere was dying left to right. Furthermore, the Americans didn’t necessary hit the military base of the city Hiroshima. Instead the kill hundreds of people.
