The Power Of Gertany's Argumentative Essay

The purposeful bombing of civilians as a wartime strategy has oftentimes been used to bring about the end of a war, but controversy has sparked up about the ethicality of this practice because of its mass destruction of human lives. This tactic goes against human nature’s aversion to intentionally cause harm without a reasonable basis. Is the bombing of innocent people justified if it ultimately brings an end to the war? This ethical question arises when considering the issue of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II.

Neg: Boom there goes the atomic bomb killing a mother of 3 children. Boom there goes a whole civilisation.

In August of 1945, two nuclear bombs were dropped on Japan, consequently, killing tens of thousands of civilians due to radiation, burns, or turning them immediately into ash. The monstrous bomb sneaks up on innocent civilians and rips their life from them in one foul swoop. The Atomic bomb kills masses of people at one time, but can also save masses of people’s lives from the ongoing war. Herein lies the conflict, since the nuclear bomb is extremely lethal, but effective, should it be used in war? Do you believe that this act was ethical? The atomic bomb should have never been used in past wars and should never be used today because its deadly side effects.

Washington Nationals prospect Lucas Giolito is considered to be the best prospect currently not playing in the majors. He showed why on Wednesday when he came within two outs of a no-hitter whilst pitching for Class A team Potomac.

During game 3 of the World Series between the Houston Astros and the Los Angeles Dodgers, Yuli Gurriel hit a solo homerun off of Yu Darvish but that wasn’t the end of the story. When he got back to the dugout he was caught by the camera making a “slant-eyed” gesture and saying in Spanish the word “chinito”, which is slang for “little Chinese guy.”

Gwilan, the washwoman, and Johnsy all face physical and emotional hardships in the stories. After many years, the wrist that Gwilan broke in the cart crash develops arthritis; later, her husband, Torm, dies. The washwoman works an obviously strenuous job, but she also faces old age and ill health. At the same time, her son neglects her out of shame when his wealth could give her rest and security. Johnsy comes down with pneumonia and is overcome with depression. But all of these woman triumph over their troubles. Gwilan sings with new hope, the washwoman delivers her load and eventually joins her Savior in heaven, and Johnsy shakes herself out of her misery and recovers.

Though people questioned why acts of war were committed, they found justification in rationalizing that it served the greater good. As time evolved, the world began to evolve in its thinking and view of the atomic bomb and war. In Hiroshima, John Hersey has a conversation with a survivor of the atomic bomb about the general nature of war. “She had firsthand knowledge of the cruelty of the atomic bomb, but she felt that more notice should be given to the causes than to the instruments of total war.” (Hersey, 122). In John Hersey’s book, many concepts are discussed. The most important concept for the reader to identify was how society viewed the use of the bomb. Many people, including survivors, have chosen to look past the bomb itself, into the deeper issues the bomb represents. The same should apply to us. Since WWII, we have set up many restrictions, protocols and preventions in the hope that we could spare our society from total nuclear war. The world has benefited in our perspective of the bomb because we learned, understand, and fear the use of atomic weapons.

The politicians who started this war will not pay the price from their remote location in a secure bunker, the people who will pay the price just like the two hundred twenty thousand who died in Hiroshima, It is the citizens who pay for the war, just like the Buggars in Enders Game who died for their queen, because of a war they started. Ender also had to pay the price he had to pay the price of dealing with all the guilt, because he wiped out an entire race, he wiped out a race he did not know did not want war again. The people who started the nuclear war will not pay like the people who had no control over the decision’s, just like the Buggar workers who serve the queen did not have any control over invading earth and starting a war they will pay for with their existence.Ender did not want a war with the Buggars he wanted peace, but he thought the Buggars where coming back for round two. According to the Associated Press, in 1986 the global number of nuclear warheads reached over 70,000 active weapons, this is enough to give every person on earth three tons of TNT. Why did we need 70,000 nuclear weapons in the world? Why could we not come to peace with the other countries and live on, why did we need to invest billions on billions of taxpayer money on nuclear weapons when people in our country are starving. But no we needed 70,000 nuclear weapons, but for what to wipe out the people who have no control over anything? The people who start these wars

But we had no choice, as a ground attack was estimated to cost one million US soldies lives. In the US, two nuclear bombs were being developed. One of them would be used to show to the world how powerful they were. But Truman saw pros and cons of using a bomb. He thought it would bring about Japan’s surrender. His biggest fear was that the bomb might not explode, and he thought that would make the Japanese less likely to surrender. However, using a bomb would kill thousands of innocent lives.

Vermont- Yesterday morning, an old man found John Watson frozen to death on his farmland due to an apparent suicide caused by his wife Ann Watson

As current problems of terrorism and the war on Iraq, chemical, biological and nuclear warfare (CBW) issues are important and relevant. CBW agents are dangerous, uncontrollable and undifferentiating weapons of mass destructions. Chemical, biological and nuclear weapons are capable of mass destruction aimed at killing masses of people. Using CBW agents comes with many ethical dilemmas and consequential side-effects. Chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons are designed to yield a great number of deaths. Regarding the ethical use of CBW, while looking at the larger context of war, one must determine the value of life. As backed by Virtues Ethics, this mass

As in World War II at Hiroshima and Nagasaki where the United States used a new form of a conventional tactic of warfare bombing but a form of bombing that has the ability to level entire cities and causing nuclear fallout. This leading the absolute destruction of everything military or civilian within miles of the impact zone. Then long term the effects of nuclear radiation in term of cancer and the rendering of the land uninhabitable. The use of force in this premise bombs must be equal to the threat and the amount of civilian life. The use of nuclear bombs indeed did bring about an end to the conflict more quickly however, the goal in the respect of human life cannot be seen as the goal. The saving of lives and resources must be greater than that alternative options such as an invasion or using conventional bombs. Which in this case would have saved civilian lives and saved resources that were required to rebuild

Religions have spread quickly because they were thought from the majority of people, who back when religions were created were living miserably, as a way of salvation. As Kolakowski said in the book, religion was a device built to compensate suffering (152). If one behaves with the moral standards set by the religion, then he/she will be compensated on the afterlife. There has to be a reward for all the ones that are suffering, and religion brought hope. The idea that after death comes nothing or not knowing what comes after death is indeed scary. Even though religion comes out with a solution, as I have mentioned it earlier on this essay, religion ‘arises the element of fear’, as it brings you hell or heaven (based on the most popular religions

The use of nuclear weapons in todays society would cause wide spread destruction. Alongside physical blast and heat, intense and extremely harmful radiation is created within the detonation zone. Large amounts of radioactively contaminated material would be blown into the earth’s atmosphere, which then has the potential travel long distances and place human health far from ‘ground zero’ in critical danger. One nuclear weapon detonation in a densely populated area would be a humanitarian disaster; the use of multiple nuclear weapons would be cataclysmic. Intuitively, this strongly suggests that any moral justification for using these weapons would have to be based on the knowledge that the weapons are being used for the greater good of humanity. Some perceive the greater good served by nuclear weapon use to come in the form of international peace and stability. Nuclear weapons may be evil, but they have helped restore and maintain equality within the world at times of great instability. History will show that there has never been a physical war between nuclear-armed states. This can be accounted for through mutually assured destruction. International relations theorist Kenneth Waltz even suggested that, ‘with more nuclear states the world will have a promising future.’

Would you kill a thousand to save millions? Well the drastic actions taken by the United States did save millions. There were two actions that had to occur to save the millions and end the war, the dropping of the two atomic bombs being the first of their kind were to be the most powerful bomb ever invented using atomic and nuclear forces so create it and packed over 20,000 tons of TNT and was about ten feet long. The bomber that transported and dropped them was called the 'Enola Gay’. The two Japanese cities’ that were struck by such creations were Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In this essay I will be discussing on how the actions taken by the United States of America were completely justified in dropping the two bombs as is established a future power image, saved millions, ended the war and ended the axis of evil.
