Block 1&2 Superpowers Are Meant To Be Used
Imagine if you were in a dark alleyway and a man in all black came up to you, and for no reason, started attacking you. You beg this man to stop, ask why he is doing this, but you get no reply. You try to fight back, but the man only hits you harder. There is no one there to help because everyone is afraid of this man, and when he began to walk down the street, everyone else cleared away, not wanting to mess with or disturb him. But you weren’t so lucky. You begin to question your faith. Why is this happening to you? You did nothing to deserve this.

While this is a strong argument, a point must be brought to mind: the United States has much more built together economy than many. Addressing these people again, Elie Wiesel, Nobel Peace Prize winner, agrees that superior, more developed powers should help end genocides; “[O]ne person of integrity can make a difference, a difference of life and death. As long as one dissident is in prison, our freedom will not be true. As long as one child is hungry, our life will be filled with shame. What all these victims need above all to know is that they are not alone; that we are not forgetting them, that when their voices are stifled, we shall lend them ours” (the Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech delivered by Elie Wiesel in Oslo on December 10, 1986, page 120 of Night).
Those who don’t agree with Elie Wiesel need to remember that this quote came from his Nobel Peace Prize speech. Obviously this man is extremely smart and thoughtful when it comes to other peoples’ emancipation, seeing as he was in the Holocaust
