Do you think the atomic bomb on Hiroshima was worth it? Why or why not?

This is a matter of opinion.  Do YOU think the atomic bomb on Hiroshima was worth it?  Let's look at the factors.

What were some of the positives?  Well, firstly, it ended World War II.  That's kind of a big deal.  In fact, it caused Japan not only to surrender, but UNCONDITIONALLY surrender.  Basically, that means the US could ask Japan to do whatever it liked--which the US liked!  Secondly, it was a triumph of science.  The atomic bomb was a revolutionary work of science.  Nothing like it had ever been made before, and it was all based on secrecy and theoretical science.  The atomic bomb also <span>provided the basis for new, improved weapons, including the hydrogen bomb.  </span>Thirdly, it helped establish the United States as a world power.  Knowing about this super powerful weapon the US had, countries were likely to back off!  

But there's a lot of negatives here, too.  Keep in mind that most of these benefits were for the United States alone.  Of course, there was one other BIG negative for the United States, and that's cost.  The atomic bomb was worth billions of dollars!  A second big one wasn't so much for the United States as for the world, especially Japan.  When the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, the effects on the people and city were devastating.  People were vaporized.  Cities and buildings were flattened, and nothing is left but carnage.  People died, their skin peeling off, from cancer and radiation.  It was awful!  Thirdly, it caused the arms race.  Knowing the US had this super weapon, ALL the countries started building their own.  Now, we pretty much live in fear of all the nuclear weapons there are today--which are hundreds of times more powerful each than the first bomb!

So what do you think?  Was it worth it?

Can anyone help me with writing a paragraph about life Outremer?
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Crusading had become more expensive by the end of the 13th century. A Crusade army used to be made up of knights who served under a lord and paid for their own expenses. Many nobility sought royal service as a result of economic difficulties. As a result, royal armies became more professional, and many knights and foot troops were paid to serve. Furthermore, with the expansion of royal authority, major Crusades could no longer be cobbled together by feudal lords, but were increasingly reliant on kings, who were prone to being distracted by domestic affairs.

damaskus [11]

Answer:

Yes, answer below!

Explanation:

Yes, he had done several actions against the constitution and overall led to the capital being attacked. He was a major leader and role model, some people would believe whatever he said; and sometimes he said some terrible things. Another topic is how he built part of a wall wasting our governments money just to keep people out when we should be making the regulations larger so we are able to let immigrants come in regulated amounts safely.

If you want to add more or not use it is just fine! It is my personal opinion, but it seems fair.
