Essay Topics
Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:
Essay Topic 1
Write an opinion paper on censorship of the press during a time of war. Do ordinary citizens need to know what is going on in the war? Do they have a right to know? The French were releasing only good news and censoring any reference to a defeat. What effect might it have had on the American public had they known what was really going on inside French Indochina? Is it possible that Americans would have told their leaders not to get them involved if they had known the full story? Discuss how censorship is a way of controlling the minds of people.
Essay Topic 2
Write a paper on your opinion of sacrificing the few for the good of the many. This is one of the hard questions about war in general especially as it has evolved over the years. It is no longer something that takes place on a specified battle field where the only casualties are the combatants. A bomb dropped on an enemy hideout will also destroy many innocent lives. On a personal level, the question is often raised about whether one would save one life if it meant that five others would die; or would one sacrifice that one life to save the other five? It seems that such a moral judgment is not applicable to the impersonal war machine. What is your opinion?
Essay Topic 3
Do a little research into aerial bombing and write a paper explaining the difference between horizontal and vertical bombing missions. The terminology has changed over the years but the principles are the same. There is somewhat safety in horizontal bombing since the planes fly high above most anti-aircraft artillery. The problem with this approach is that it is indiscriminate and only effective if it covers a large area. Vertical bombing is more exact target centered. In your paper give your opinion about these two different approaches in terms of affecting innocent victims.
