In recent years the question of whether to use a period after the "S" in Harry S. Truman's name has become a subject of controversy, especially among editors. The evidence provided by Mr. Truman's own practice argues strongly for the use of the period. While, as many people do, Mr. Truman often ran the letters in his signature together in a single stroke, the archives of the Harry S. Truman Library have numerous examples of the signature written at various times throughout Mr. Truman's lifetime where his use of a period after the "S" is very obvious.
Harry S. Truman became 33rd President of the United States after the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt during World War 2. During Truman's presidency, he led Americans to successfully capture the island of Okinawa on June 22, 1945. He was also the one that agreed to drop the atomic bombs on the city of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He hoped it would help save American lives and Japanese lives too, and prevent Stalin from invading Japan and transforming it into a communist country. On September 2, 1945, Japan surrenders marking VJ Day and the end of World War 2. Years later, after the war, all surviving inmates from Japanese Internment camps were given a recompense of $20,000.
"The Best Place On Earth" - This is to make Truman not want to leave the island and explore so they can keep him in his little dome.
Truman Capote was Harper Lee’s next-door neighbor and they were close childhood friends and later became life-long. Capote was bullied for being small and sassy, and having a different clothing style. Harper Lee being a tomboy herself was one of his biggest protection. Capote’s mother left him at his cousin’s house in Monroeville, then his mother ran off to New York to pursue a new care-free life. They both loved to read and took turns typing out their own stories in their early ages. They were both involved in each others’ creations of their most famous books. When To kill a mocking bird was released, Capote proudly told people that Harper Lee had written him into the book as the character Dill
Shortly after Truman was put into office, he dropped two separate bombs on Japan, specifically on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The war in the ETO was already finished but the US had to end the war against Japan, who wouldn't surrender as it would cause their people to feel dishonoured in their government but if they didn’t surrender, they would lose everything to an unconditioned surrender. The past can’t be changed but that doesn’t change whether Truman was justified on dropping the bombs on Japan.
President Truman and the United States were not justified in using this weapon to force the Japanese to surrender. First of all, the use of this weapon was inhumane to the Japanese civilians. The weapon resulted in an estimated value of 129,000-226,000 deaths. Even after the tragedy, survivors were affected by the high amounts of radiation in their bodies. Most of them contracted cancer and faced the consequences of the bomb. Survivors had to battle burns, starvation, and even severe sickness. Survivors also had to battle with the “inner scars”, physiological damage to the brain. While they were treated for radiation illnesses, many were left traumatized, some the only survivors from their family. Some who still bore inner scars committed suicide. For the rest of their lives, the Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors would be shunned by the Japanese society and haunted by the bomb's’ radiation. The usage of this bomb was inhumane
If you ask a person on the streets about Harry S. Truman, they would probably talk about him dropping an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan. Maybe they would talk about how he advanced the cause of African-American civil rights. Either way, Harry S. Truman is considered one of our nation's best presidents even though he was criticized years after his presidency.
"The best place on earth Seahaven voted planets top town." This newspaper headline helps to control Truman because they are saying he needs to stay in Seahaven because its the best place. "Who needs Europe!" They don't want Truman to leave and go to Europe so they put that there to control him from leaving or wanting to leave. "Crackdown on homeless Seahaven Islands City Fathers say "Enough is Enough!" They do this to control Truman because he said his father looked like a homeless man and they are trying to justify Truman seeing them drag his father onto the bus to get rid of him.
The foreign policy of the United States can be defined as a labyrinth- a set of complex intricacies which either lack comprehension or are characterized by meticulous thought. Established during a period of ideological warfare and domestic hysteria, it is evident the Truman Doctrine was conceived with a disregard for the future stability of American international affairs. Engulfed within a period marked by massive power struggles and distorted accusations, the Truman Doctrine may appear minimal in regard to alterations of the United States international attitude. However, the Doctrine acted as a catalyst for the shift in America’s foreign policy objectives and vision. It is clear the Truman Doctrine produced detrimental consequences in regard to the international policy of the United States, stability of foreign countries, and continuing repercussions in the modern day.
The death of thousands in a moment, this was the power of the weapon the United States held in their possession. President Harry S. Truman’s decision was the first immoral and flaw choice that proves the weakness of a man in power. His main argument was based on the lack of love and compassion among the millions in Japan. He has proven to end the war in a faster way by using the bombs and proves that American soldiers are dying in the battle, which sounded ironically the fact that soldiers are risking their lives fighting war. It was nearly the end of World War II. With Germany defeated and the Allied Forces ready for the cease-fire, only the power of Japan stood in the way of the end of the World War. “ Early in 1939, the world's scientific community discovered
When I enrolled at Truman State University, I did not realize how my race impacted me on both a personal and global level. I believed we lived in a post-racial society where race and ethnicity did not matter. However, on Monday, November 24th, 2014, when officer Darren Wilson was not indicted for the killing of Michael Brown, I experienced an epiphany. Race matters. Whether an individual believes that race did or did not play a role in Michael Brown's death, race was reignited as a prominent topic in America due to the Black Lives Matter movement. Roland Martin, the host of News One Now, stated in an interview that “The reason Black Lives Matter has been so successful is because they have forced the most rigorous discussion on police brutality
The film, The Truman Show (1998) is about the man named Truman Burbank, a first child who is legally adopted legally by the broadcasting company and been unknowingly publicizing his entire life as an entertaining show to the whole world. Although he lives in the world where everything is manipulated, at least for him, he is just like a normal man with own family, friends, and job. The difference between others and Truman lies on the taboo that Truman has attained through the traumatic event of losing his own father. His taboo is that he is incapable of living the city, Seahaven as leaving the city signifies knowing the truth of his life. The film majorly depicts the moment when Truman realized skepticism around his entire life and departs the journey to find the truth and real identity
Throughout history, there been thousands of phobias but the most surprising ones are the technological phobias that are so common to us but they hide a truth; they effect and cause brain disorders. In the article it mentions multiple events that are relatable to one’s life but the one that stands out the most is the Truman show Delusion phobia. Have,“you ever have that spooky feeling that someone’s watching you?”(Kennon pg.2) This and the perception that your live is being broadcast is basically the Truman show Delusion.

After the Second World War, American presidents began from Truman, had implemented a "global strategy", to against the socialist countries, prevent the national liberation movement and establish American dominance in the world. Implementing the global strategy, the United States conducted "aid" to manipulate other countries; set up military blocs; arms race, war invasion… In the implementation of "global strategy", the United States suffered many heavy defeats, particularly the war of aggression in Vietnam. On the other hand, the United States also made some attempts to disintegrate the socialist regime in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, based on military, economic, science - technology...
The Truman Show tells the story of Truman Burbank, a man with a perfect life; however, everything he thinks is true is all part of the distorted reality of “The Truman Show.” Truman grows up in a broadcast fictitious life from the moment he is born to the moment he realizes his life is far from reality. Truman’s feelings, way of thinking, and acting are evoked by the controlled events and experiences in his life. Christof, the creator of “The Truman Show,” never gives Truman the chance to experience his true human nature, nor does he give him the opportunity to live a true life. The manipulated reality of “The Truman Show” goes against all principles, morals, and ethics because Truman never gets the opportunity
