... globe was now to live with the fear of total annihilation, the fear that drove the cold war, the fear that has forever changed world politics. The fear is real, more real today than ever, for the ease at which a nuclear bomb is achieved in this day and age sparks fear in the hearts of most people on this planet. According to General Douglas MacArthur, "We have had our last chance. If we do not devise some greater and more equitable system, Armageddon will be at our door." The decision to drop the atomic bomb on Japanese citizens in August, 1945, as a means to bring the long Pacific war to an end was justified-militarily, politically and morally. ...

... 1998) The pilot that dropped the atomic bomb was Colonel Paul Tibbets of the 509th Bomber squadron (James Chan “Hiroshima” 1997) and he was flying the Enola Gay, which was named after his mother and was a B-29-45-MD Super fortress. (Peter Wyden “Day One” 1984) It was 2:45 A.M. when the Enola Gay took off, after it got going it was flying at a ground speed of 330 M.P.H. The flight was going to take six and a half hours until they reached Hiroshima on the Honshu Island on Japan (U.S. National Archives “Hiroshima” 1999). Even though the crew knew their destination, Hiroshima, their target, the iota T-bridge, and that they were dropping a bomb, they didn’t know that it ...

... sources for the latest news. You probably consider yourself a concerned citizen, but how concerned are you really??? I’m certainly not condemning concern for students of Columbine High and the residents of Littleton. The shootings at Columbine High are indeed a tragedy, and should not be ignored by any means. But what about Kosovo? What about our sons, daughters, husbands, wives, fathers, and mothers that are being sent over there? Aren’t they just as important as the students at Columbine High? I would certainly say they are! I think that it is noble, perhaps, to be concerned about a school shooting. It is something that has deeply affected a part of ...

... years old boys would look 12. Owners were very greedy, they refused to pay for people safety for the mere fact that it would cut into their profits. They also gave very low wages for very long hours. Some had 12 hour days for 6 days a week only earning 10 cents an hour, $5.50 a week. Children would only earn half that. This was also a time of Immigration. They came because they wanted to get away from war, famine and religious persecution. They wanted to come to America, The land of the Free, a place for equality. This was all true in America, if you had money, or where the white man. These immigrants surely weren't. They were crammed on to the U.S Permland, which ...

... While the arguments against reparations may seem shallow or self-serving to advocates of such a system, upon examination, the logistics of what to give, and whom to distribute it to, preclude any potential benefits of such a system of indemnity and requite. The point of the follow critique is not to say that Africans were not mistreated, nor that they are not worthy of reparations, but that perhaps reparations are not an adequate solution to this situation, and indeed will only serve to worsen. Africa is a continent in dire straits. European colonization and colonialism damaged the native structure and society - some might say that this simply pr ...

... all the hard work it took to bring the remarkable weapon to life. The story began when on August 2, 1939, a month before World War II began in Europe, Albert Einstein signed a letter addressed to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Concede in careful terms, the letter stated that recent nuclear research indicated extremely powerful bombs of a new type, based on Uranium, might soon be possible. Einstein warned that the secret work with Uranium was going on in Nazi Germany. He urged that similar American research be accelerated. Roosevelt filled with fear that Nazi Germany would develop the bomb first, marked Einstein’s letter for action. Eleven days after Pre ...

... of Hopkins’ poems seem disturbing, they are actually excellent pieces of work. He portrayed realism by only writing about things that were realistic to him and his society. People did not accept Hopkins’ poetry because they did not like him; they did not accept it because it went against everything they believed in. The church was the most important thing in peoples’ lives during this era and most of Hopkins’ work were about things that went against the church and its beliefs. Even though people did not accept his poems during his time, they are very well accepted now and are considered masterpieces of his era. Hopkins’ work was very different from what was ...

... his teachings would have never been spread around China, and he would have never been made known. His teachings were never written down by him, but his conversations and sayings were written down by his disciples in the analects. CONFUCIANISM Confucianism was the single most important thing in Chinese life. It affected everything in China; education, government, and attitudes toward behavior in public and private life. Confucianism is not a religion, but it is more a philosophy and a guide to morality and good government. At the time Confucius was born, China was in a constant state of war, and rapid political change alte ...

... the Capitalist system into the worst economic slump in history. This essay will attempt to consider the effect of the Wall Street Crash in causing the Great Depression, but also consider other causes such as the massive unequal distribution in income that existed and the lasting effects of the war in the form of debts owed to the US. To understand the sheer consequence of the Great Depression we can consider a normal economy. Most economies experience a ‘Boom and Bust’ cycle, where economies fluctuate between times of prosperity and times of recession. The economist Maynard Keynes believed these cycles would occur roughly every seven years (1). However, the ...
