...to hit within 5 miles of the target, so Britain decided to switch to a form of bombing known as Area bombing. In area bombing, the RAF attempted to destroy as much of the buildings and population of a city or region through the use of large quantities of bombs, fire bombs, and gas in waves to maximize destruction. It was this area bombing that has created controversy between historians as to whether or not the RAF’s actions could be considered war crimes. However the fact that the RAF’s bombing of the...

...During the 1940s and 1950s, after World War 2 pesticide and herbicide products were used to improve crop fields by killing off unwanted plants and pests. They were applied over fruits and vegetables and workers were in constant contact with these chemicals. However, the same chemicals used in crops fields, were the same or had similar chemicals compounds found in chemical weapons during WW2. What was not known was how applying these chemicals in our environment would impact ecosystems, living things and food resources. This practice is still used today, especially in California’s crop fields such as the central valley. Although there are some similarities on how herbicides and pesticides are used in the past and now, there are differences in terms of how it’s regulated and used. "Whenever I pick oranges, I feel so bad; my mouth feels...

...government should not be allowed to monitor or regulate internet content at any level except for when there is a clear threat to the safety of the country or her people. There are many reasons to oppose government monitoring of the internet, but three main reasons stick out amongst the rest. One is the fact that monitoring of the internet is without a doubt invasion of privacy. Additionally, blocking parts of the internet because of its content is censorship, even if the content is hateful or disturbing. Finally, plain text on the internet lacks an essential part of communication, voice inflection. Internet monitoring is an invasion of privacy and a violation of the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures (in this case, the Fourth Amendment would apply to unreasonable searches). When people post something on the internet, they expect that information to be read by the intended recipient or recipients, not by the government. Even if...

...was established at the end of ww2 * Its main purpose: maintaining international peace and security * Un charter: refers to the needs and interests of peoples * The UN remains to be relevant however it tends to be flawed in many ways possible Although there are many flaws to the UN, it remains to be relevant due to the crucial consolidating role it played in, promotion and development of public international law, defence of the universality of human rights, dissemination of new ideas about peace and security, advocacy of plans against poverty, protection of the environment, protects 22m refugees and hosts to 7,500 meetings a year in Geneva alone. Although we do have political order since the presence of the UN, such political order might not be good because due to its flaws, the UN’s unstable trust and legitimacy is what keeps Yes we do have political order, but that might not be good because trust and legitimacy is what keeps the institution moving on the path all states can depend on.

It was made a separate Crown colony of Britain in 1946, when the former colonies of the Straits Settlements were dissolved. Economy Situation in WW2: The economy of Singapore had hit a major blow in 1946 as there were shortages of food (especially rice) that led to malnutrition, diseases and rampant crimes and violence. This led well into 1947 as workers went onto...

...we heard something like machine guns, we fully expected they landed parachutes. Its hard to explain the helplessness we felt.’ (Betrayed & Darwin, 2012) (Lionel King) During ww2 The Japanese bombed Darwin in 1942. The bombing of Darwin affected Australia because it was when the war entered Australian territory, it also lasted until the 12th of November 1943 and through this time many people where killed or wounded. The government attempted to hide the bombing of Darwin from the public; the government decided that it would be best if he hid the amount of casualties and damage that occurred. I believe that the government’s reaction to the bombing of Darwin was not approached in the right way. The questions people ask today include, why did John Curtin, who was the Prime Minister at the time, hide all this information from Australia? How did the government react to the Bombing of Darwin? Why did the Japanese bomb Darwin? And how today do we view the Bombing of Darwin? The bombing of...

...Historical Inquiry Process is a model which outlines the steps needed to be successful when creating a project. It incorporates formulating questions, gathering and organizing information, interpreting and analyzing evidence, evaluating and drawing conclusions, and communicating. I implemented these steps in order to succeed in my assignment. The stage that I found the most challenging was the “Communicate” stage. According to the Business dictionary, communication is the “process of reaching mutual understanding, in which participants not only exchange information, but also create and share meaning.” This was difficult because of the broad topic which I...

...approve of torture such as waterboarding in terrorist cases. Because they feel that it gets results. Waterboarding has gotten confessions out of many terrorist, and has unearthed plans for many terrorist attacks. While it is cruel and unusual punishment there have been many cases where it has been necessary and effective. The history of waterboarding dates all the way back to the Inquisition. The first documented use of waterboarding was in the 14th century since then it has been off and on around the world. In the 1800s when the enlightenment swept across Europe many countries banned waterboarding, but it didn’t disappear it just went underground. However, it went through something of a revival in the 20th century, the Japanese used it in WW2, U.S troops used it in the Philippines, and the French used it in Algeria. While waterboarding is...

...the first-hand experiences of WW2 through Major Dick Winters of the 506th Infantry Regiment otherwise known as Band of Brothers. I first encountered information on this infantry after reading books from Stephen Ambrose like the Band of Brothers, Citizen Soldiers, and Comrades. I learned how different each of the men were, the training they endured, the battles they fought, and the people they became after the war was behind them. However, after reading Beyond Band of Brothers: The War Memoir of Major Dick Winters written by Major Winters himself, it gave me a new perspective on the war. There is a big difference between looking at someone’s experience from...

...Holmes used radioactive dating which is a technique to measure the rate of decay of certain atoms such as uranium.He got a physics scholarship to the Royal college of science where he received a lot education. He performed the first uranium lead analysis specifically designed for age dating. Holmes probably encountered difficulties with not having a completely accurate time scale for measuring the age of the earth and fossils. He also could have used more advanced information and computers to help with his theory of the continental drift. Tools that would have been beneficial to Arthur Holmes are computers, he could do a lot quicker and more through research on any topic. Holmes also could have used radiocarbon dating, stratigraphy, and biostratigraphy. which is now used to find the age of...

...to revoke all rights of citizenship for Canadians of Japanese descent.” The treatment and internment of these people during WW2 was a social injustice committed against not enemy aliens or war criminals, but innocent citizens. The idea behind the internment of British Columbian Japanese was to prevent any Japanese threats against Canada and the Allies. Including preventing the infiltration of Japanese spies. However not one Japanese Canadian was ever charged or convicted of treason. Moreover, in 1944 at the House of Commons, PM Mackenzie King stated, “It is a fact that no person of Japanese race born in Canada has been charged with any act of sabotage or disloyalty during the years of war.” The fact that the internment of thousands of Canadians of Japanese descent did not lead to the prevention of another attack like Pearl Harbour or catch anyone leaking important information to the enemy, emphasizes the tragedy of these wrongdoings and their needlessness. Furthermore, at the start of the war the government did not consider Japanese Canadians a security risk and only invoked the War Measures Act following the events at Pearl Harbour and the growing resentment of Japanese descendants among other Canadians. The government acted on fear and impulse under the pressure of anti-Japanese sentiment, leading to their unnecessary treatment, without the fact that Japanese Canadians presented a risk to national security. The fear after Pearl Harbour and other acts of Japan and the Axis...

...Kazzy Zeh-Arndt Mr. Patrick Walker English 4 Honors 19 November 2014 Senior Paper The United State’s mishandling of serious events has caused American satisfaction with the government to decline ever since the end of World War 2. Shortly after World War 2, the American people were in full support of the government. Franklin Roosevelt had pulled the country out of the biggest economic depression it had ever seen and has seen since, as well as winning World War 2. World War 2 was a clear cut war in terms of who was in the wrong and who was the in the right, the holocaust and the German aggression in Europe were obviously amoral acts that needed to be stopped. Winning WW2 was almost as instrumental as getting out of the depression for the government...

...the main debate was about the necessity of the atomic bomb. Many say that the atomic bomb was dropped because it would save millions of American lives. However at that period the Japanese were also at the point of surrendering. Huge amounts of incendiary bombs were used in large-scale cities against japan. Many of the scientists in the Manhattan Project were disturbed about it. The incendiary bombs reduced much morale from the Japanese army and crippled the will power. However this small cripple made Japan even angrier because these incendiary bombs were used on innocent civilians and not the Japanese army. Many think that it was necessary to use the Atomic Bombs because Japan attacked America first and not the other way around. It is a fact that when Hitler attacked Russia he expected Japan to attack from the East while Hitler attacked from the West and so Hitler might have won the battle of Stalingrad and captured Russia. Although this is not how it went. Japan respected the fighting force of Russia but however Fuehrer Franklin maneuvered them because he needed a war to maintain his presidency. Although even this statement is in deep controversy...
