Most people are scared of this topic “nuclear war” because they are afraid of it actually happening. Which it has before when he fought Hitler and other countries in the world wars. It is possible and it has happened. The reason why I picked this topic is that it was the most interesting thing in today’s news as I watched the news it made me more and more interested in it so I decided to pick it for my big topic. It interested me since it was the big thing in 2017. What will our country do if…

In chapter 9 of James Rachels and Stuart Rachels The Elements of Moral Philosophy, the authors elaborate on the philosophical question, whether there are absolute moral rules. In order to illustrate the philosophical moral question, Rachels uses President Harry Truman’s dilemma on the use of atomic bombs to end World War II and in the process comes in contact with Elizabeth Anscombe, a 20th century foremost philosophical champion of the doctrine that moral rules are absolute, the theory of…

“You and The Atomic Bomb” They say, I say George Orwell, an English novelist and essayist, wrote “You and The Atomic Bomb” on October 19, 1945. Roughly about 2 months before this essay, bombs were dropped over Hiroshima not only letting the world know who has power and who doesn’t, but also leading individuals to be oppressed. With the discovery of the atomic bomb, and the difficulty and cost of developing it, the world will simply continue on a path of destruction and will eventually separate…

“It was a war long ago that was shut out, that we hadn’t finshed heling, that we just wanted to pretend didn’t exsite and then all of the sudden it was right here before us.

The Outcomes of Some Actions or events that occur in a person’s life can dramatically shape their outlook on life, whether positively or negatively. To illustrate, on the television show , Revenge, the plot surrounds a young woman seeking revenge on those who wronged her father; which caused her to have an extremely troubled childhood.

Soldiers face many things throughout the war, not just the fighting; terrible sights, agonizing pain, hunger, fatigue, and they also face a battle with their own mind. Each war brings its own conflicts. The similarities in the hardships that soldiers faced in the Vietnam war and World War I is immense. The two wars differentiae as well. They faced many of the same struggles; harsh weather conditions, scarce amounts of foods, protection, and post-war distress symptoms. The soldiers face constant…

It’s quite logical: who would survive a biological terrorist attack? Those in places that are airtight, climate controlled, battery packed, and otherwise hermetically sealed centers. In Cory Doctorow’s When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth, Felix and his sysadmin coworkers do what they do best in a post-apocalyptic world after a bioweapon puts an end to their society. They are quarantined in their data center with dwindling supplies and the looming realization that everyone they know is dead. Doctorow…

Philip Caputo’s A Rumor of War tells the story of a man’s demoralization during the Vietnam war and how it is associated with a refusal to any direct guilt for his own actions in that war. Throughout the book, you can sense the murderousness that comes from Caputo due to several reasons. Although, at the end of the book, he does not confess this murderousness urge that he experienced during his time in Vietnam. Overall, I believe that Philip Caputo was able to prove that he is not guilty and…
