Hello curious readers,
Hopefully you have understood the nature my previous circumstances based off of the last post. For today's entry, I will be sharing something a little controversial. In fact, the "term" controversy doesn't even fully describe the essence of what I'm about to post. The video below is from the Japanese film "Barefoot Gen": an intricate anime that follows the lives of a family caught between the societal threat of nationalism and the horrors of nuclear destruction during the conclusion of "Word War II". Currently, I have decided to reserve my views on war, as complex as they maybe, for a later day in the semester. Instead, I would be interested in hearing your views on such a difficult subject. How does the nature of war affect your perception of justice? Does religion, philosophy or ethics play an intricate role in your response to violence? Do you believe in a form of "just" warfare, "necessary" warfare, or "pacifism"? Since this is an open forum, please regard the dignity of others through your dialogue and restraint against verbal abuse.
Warning: The following images reflect realistic, and otherwise accurate, imagery concerning the destruction that occurred August 6https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=BfJZ6nwxD38, 1945.
