In 1938, at the beginning of the second world war, the population of the world was 2.3 billion people. Of those 2.3 billion, 60 million people died. That is 0.2 percent of the population. Of this 0.2 percent, .07 died in the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. That is 220,000 people. Human rights are the rights that every person is born with. During the time of the enlightenment, the terms of human rights were outlined. Since then, laws have been passed detailing the correct treatment

This has prompted the UN to declare Syria a Level 3 emergency, the highest level emergency in the UN system (Dahi 45). The severity of the situation is blatantly extreme, and as the most powerful country in the world, it is immoral to consider these refugees as a burden. We hold abundant value in the terrorist

The purpose behind her preference of the metaphor ‘Titanic’ over ‘Perfect storm’ clarifies and warns readers about not being misled into believing that Enron’s downfall was based on factors ‘outside of the company’s control’ rather was caused by a ‘synergetic combination of human errors’.

However this leaded to a new problem- “the bomb was…more than a military weapon, but signaled the arrival of a new age… with the promise of… the threat of [an] ultimate holocaust that seems irrevocably tied and destined to hang in precarious balance” (Truman, McCullough, Mr.President).
