Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

Interpersonal relationships

Love

While the bombing of Hiroshima affected Japanese people as a whole, it also allowed Americans to take action. Within 4 days after the catastrophe, the Japanese surrendered and ended a terrible war. The U.S. responded the same way and accepted the surrender. The Japanese were not very efficient with their efforts to recover. Unlike the Japanese, the U.S. went to Hiroshima to establish an occupant government. It helped victims of the bombing to recover and rebuild what they had lost. After the time of recovery and rebuilding was done in Hiroshima, the U.S. established a way for victims of the bombing to get medical care free of charge. The Japanese did not establish much besides small coverage for medical care. Both Japan and the U.S.

Firearm

Chris Manguno January 16, 2014 1st Period AP English III Because the world has become a dangerous place, many people chose to give up some freedoms for safety, since in most people?s minds; safety is much more valuable than freedom. This state of mind would have been laughed at in the past, but today, with the media, government, and constant control laws, many people are highly skeptical and would rather have less freedom in exchange for some more safety. Even though many people would trade some freedom for some safety, I do not think that anyone would fully trade away all of their freedom just to become a slave of safety.
