Question: Is it moral for societies to develop weapons of mass destruction for any reason?
I believe that violence is already such a major role in today's society & in order to protect your country you need some form of weapons. I think that if violence wasn't the solution to major problems for feuding areas, then weapons of mass destruction wouldn't be needed. There are a lot of things that we need to protect our country from & when weapons are necessary then it's the only way to provide citizens with the protection the deserve. I think weapons that aren't completely necessary should not be developed by anyone. Unless there is a purpose of creating & developing & advancing weapons, I think that they shouldn't be used at all.
Question: Discuss the ethics behind and the impact of the weapons that were used in A Long Way Gone.
The Sierra Leone army gave highly dangerous weapons to very young boys in order to fight a war for their country. There were people invading towns & killing relentlessly, there were innocent citizens being shot dead for no reason, & there were young children being drugged & brainwashed to kill. Weapons played such a huge role in this book. The child soldiers depended on their guns to keep them alive, to them, a gun meant life. I completely disagree with the entire situation. It is not okay to have young children seeing these immense amounts of violence, much less be part of the violence. The kids were robbed of their childhood & many innocent people lost their lives due to the crave of power caused by weapons.
I think that you should change the and signs to the actually word, haha...
ReplyDeleteAnyways, if there were no weapons to begin with, then those child soldiers wouldn't have needed their weapons to defend themselves in the first place. Although, I do agree with how you said that it is not ok for young children to see lots of violence. I partially disagree with your opinion, but your blog looks nice! (=
Good job super detailed and very thorough!!!
ReplyDeleteReally good paragraphs; I can tell you really thought it out.
ReplyDeletei agree with you sunny on the fact that weapons should only be used as protection. But i think that people should have a chance to protect themselves. because there is alot of crazy people put there, and what is someone going to do is a person breakes into there house? hit them with a stick? hahaha but i agreew with you on the fact that weapons are needed for protection and protection only not for games or sports.
