Hiroshima



In this picture of Hiroshima, before the bombing, I see a city that is progressing quickly. It makes me feel like the human race is growing rapidly and that soon the whole world will be overpopulated. The city looks peaceful in this picture.





The picture to the right is a picture of a building in Hiroshima after the bomb was dropped. The bomb destroyed the building leaving it in ruins. So much destruction was caused because of the bomb.





The picture on the left shows skulls and bones of people that died in the bombing of Hiroshima. There are so many skulls and bones there and I dont think that they are the only victims of the atomic bombing. There are so many lives that were taken.

Views on Abortion

1) I stand on the Pro-life side on abortion because abortion is like killing babies, people won't have to take responsibility for their actions, and employers will take advantage of pregnant ladies that want to reach the top of their career. Life begins at conception so aborting is considered killing because there is a human in the belly already. If abortion is made an option and a girl gets pregnant because she wasn't being responsible then she will just abort, not taking responsibility for her actions. Also if a lady gets pregnant while trying to reach the top of her career the employer will consider aborting instead of enforcing the maternity leave laws.


2) "If you voluntarily act in a way that brings about the existence of a person or a fetus, then you have a responsibility to maintain the life of that person or fetus."



3) I agree with this statement because the person has to take responsibility for their actions. If the person didnt want to get pregnant then they should have taken better care. Since a foetus is a human, the person has to take responsibility over it and abortion isn't considered "being responsible".


4)"This right to life seems to flow from the potential that the newborn has to become a 'moral person', and this in turn seems to support the argument that a potential 'moral person' has the right to life."


5) This quote is trying to say that the fetus will turn into a newborn and then it will become an adult. Since the fetus is going to turn into an adult then it is human. All humans have the right to life including the fetus since it is a potential person.

First Assignment: Powerful Pictures

This picture has hundreds of soccer fans celebrating after thier team,Spain, won the EURO 2008. The championship game was played at Vienna on sunday June 29, 2008 , Spain defeated Germany 1-0. The message this picture gives me is that people can unite for a single cause. If this many people can unite to celebrate a soccer championship then imagine what they can accomplish if they unite for a greater cause. Yes I can relate to this picture because I've been to a soccer game and have celebrated like the people in this picture. I also went to the first "May Day",march, and hundreds of people also united, not to celebrate a soccer victory but to protest for an immigration reform.
