Formal Essay Due: July Formal Writing Assignment Science and technology https://youtu.be/MDaiQ9n5wEM In 1945, the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Japan. Previously, plans were being made for an invasion of Japan. Estimates regarding the loss of American lives were very high. Although it has been argued that the dropping of the bombs saved many American lives and brought an end to World War II, there were of course many Japanese casualties. This event also heralded the start of the atomic age. A B-29 named Enola Gay dropped the first atomic bomb. The pilot of the plane named the aircraft after his mother. The subsequent bomb was dropped by another B-29 named Bok’s Car. The Enola Gay has been refurbished and is part of the collection of The National Air and Space Museum. Before the aircraft was completely restored, the museum was planning an exhibit to showcase portions of the plane and relate information about its historical significance. When the exhibit opened, the display, including artifacts and photographs relative to the dropping of the first atomic bomb, met with a great deal of controversy. While some visitors felt that the exhibit was highly educational and celebrated American ingenuity and resolve, other people were less than impressed and even offended. If the mission of this aircraft saved many American lives, how do we weigh this against the intense devastation of Japan and the bomb’s legacy? Would an invasion of Japan have been more morally responsible than using the bombs? Your writing focus is to relate what you would say to a child looking at this aircraft in the museum. What are at least three moral lessons that you would teach? Relegate each lesson to its own body paragraph. Explain in detail why these lessons are so important. Remember that I am not looking for a paper that simply relates historical detail.
