The world has not learned from the events of the Holocaust because places are hesitant to help them, people are dyeing, and there running out of resources. From 1933 to 1945 during World War 2, about 5 million of the Jews in Europe lost their lives to Hitler’s ruling. The world waited to take action to help the jews because we did not know about the concentration camps. Now, in 2015, the world is still waiting to take action and repeating the same mistakes 70 years later in Syria.…

The dropping of the Atomic Bomb was an attack made on the Japanese by the Americans. Although the dropping of the Atomic Bomb by the United States helped to end World War II, the act was unjustified because of innocent Japanese civilians that were needlessly murdered and were not given sufficient time to surrender from the area. Consequently, the Japanese were defeated before and they were attempting to surrender because of the effective sea blockade and the unsuccessful bombing with conventional weapons. This would be the reason that the bombing was not useful.…
World War II is an event that has marred the lives of people from all different races, cultures, and continents. Two of the most terrifying and grim incidents happened during this war: the Holocaust and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Germany wiped out the Jewish population in Europe, while the United States shocked the world with its weapon of mass destruction that destroyed two industrial cities of Japan. Although it is very difficult to actually understand the atrocities that occurred during this time without experiencing it first-hand, From the Ashes of Sobibor by Thomas Blatt and Hiroshima by Keiji Nakazawa give a glimpse into these events. The perspectives…
As humans we make mistakes, but the real power is learning from our mistakes. Often we can learn from others mistakes that way we don’t have to feel the pain ourselves to understand why we shouldn’t do something or be a certain way. Also we can learn from history and past mistakes that lead them into bad times and disputes. From literature we learn morals and lessons through the characters position. “We live with our archetypes, but can we live in them?” rightly said by Poul Anderson.…
I feel that they were not morally justified because the atomic bombs were extremely horrific. The bombings killed so many lives of innocent people and the horrible effects on the people for years after the bombing. The after effects of the bombing have caused health problems such as cancer and birth defects for decades later to people that weren’t even born yet.…
Educating ourselves on events in world history may not prevent the present and future leaders from making the same mistakes, and neither will it accomplish utter tranquility and peace among all countries. It is however an important tool for us individuals to understand the results of each event, and how they came to shape the structures of nations and their relationships with each other today. The bombing of Hiroshima is an event that has impacted the United States and the world to this day. And thus it is important to understand the different standpoints of why Truman orders the release of the atomic bomb. It is also important to consider the result of the bombing for Japan, the United States and the rest of the…
Today I will be talking about the bombings that ended World War II , The plane that dropped it, the destruction that followed, and issues that were dependent on the weather.…
The United States decided to use atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. This bombing created devastation and death that the world had never seen before. The use of the atomic bombs has been a topic of intense debate for years following the bombing. Several reasons for such outcry pertaining to the use of the atomic bomb were the moral dilemmas behind the bombing, the mass destruction caused by the bombing, the horrible physical and emotional effects on the citizens of Japan, and strained relations between America and Japan.…
The atomic bomb is the most destructive weapon that has ever been used, so deadly it has never been used after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It was not necessary to drop the bomb on these cities as there were many other ways that they could have made Japan surrender without dropping/developing the atomic bomb. However many believe that the atomic bomb should have been dropped on Japan so that the casualties could have been minimized for the allies. The United States had made 2 bombs to decimate 2 of the major Japanese military bases. A bomb so destructive that even its creator did not want to be used, he was quoted saying, "Now I have become the death destroyer of the world."…
Genocide, as defined in the Oxford Dictionairy states, “the deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular nation or ethnic group.” Ultranationalism is defined as “extreme nationalism that promotes the interest of one state or people above all others.” Ultranationalism and genocide go very hand in hand with eachother. The extreme nationalism that is a main charasteristic of ultrantionalism can lead to a very warped vision of power and thoughts relating power, and can ultimately cause an action relating to genocide. Ultranationalistic people may treat others in a non human or degrading way, they may seperate others into groups. They deny rights and may…
Genocide is a world issue that can only be stopped if we acknowledge, learn, and never…
It is simple: we learn from our mistakes, and act based on what we have learned. We already realize that the Holocaust was a horrible tragedy, and it should never have happened, but that is only the beginning. We should take the destruction that we learned can happen so easily because of us, and take that into consideration when doing something big. This can range from choosing leaders, to going to war. If we take that destruction into consideration, that can prevent such disasters from happening and make the world a better…
President Truman's decision to drop the atomic bomb on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the direct cause for the end of World War II in the Pacific. The United States felt it was necessary to drop the atomic bombs on these two cities or it would suffer more casualties. Not only could the lives of many soldiers have been taken, but possibly the lives of many innocent Americans. The United States will always try to avoid the loss of American civilians at all costs, even if that means taking lives of another countries innocent civilians.…
What do you think about when you hear the word genocide? Probably the Holocaust and if someone said name another genocide in human history you would draw up blank. . True without the Holocaust we probably wouldn’t have all of the laws preventing genocide or groups monitoring conflicts of signs of genocide, but it still would have happened. Even with all of the precautions we have to prevent it, it still happens. Without the knowledge of all of the horrible things that we do to each other we are ignorant and need to be educated on the topics that truly define human nature.…
