TOK QUESTIONS:

1)It help save many thousands of lives from dying in the gas chambers, also put a halt to Germany's dominance in the war. It appeared to add morality because it shorten the war and help showed that the Americans and British could knock Germany out of the sky. The problems with it were that people though it was morally wrong and unjustifiable to destroy a city in such a way. They were no better than the Nazi's in mass murdering civilians especially ones caught off guard by the attack.

2)No bias history, the facts must be placed in the books, with reason and justifiable evidence. To unify a country it's history must be unify. But also if history isn't unified what is it then? It is facts supporting one side not another that may be supported but is unified with truths and counterpoints etc. It is very possible to unify history, but to do so bias, and pass events that may effect the unification must be put aside in order to make a truthful history. Of course counterpoints would be expected in any type of history but facts are what unified history and agreement.

3)No, because the mass murder of thousands of civilians was not called for even if it shorted the war 6 months. I feel even in war times we are still human and though the concept desperate times calls for desperate measures may apply to retreating in a war but not the mass murdering of a city. What makes it ethically right to do something like that, we are human, they are human. Honestly if France and Britain didn't spend the years appeasing Hitler, which helped him in consolidation of his power then this wouldn't have happened because world war II may have not lead to this extent. Pearl Harbor could be a factor of this because, the Japanese destroyed the naval bases in Hawaii and for retaliation the US was going to destroy one of the Japanese beautiful cities Hiroshima. This idea of "Just War Theory" and annihilation of Dresden because, it was also a get back at the other side move. They supported it because they believed it needed to be done as a last resort in order to start the offensive on Germany, not only did this give them leverage in the sky but also morality and essentially crippled Germany in away. The supported it by feeling thats it was ethically and justifiable right to bomb Dresden.

It connects to what we are studying in class because its a more current update on the sex slavery, that picked up in the 1950s during the Great Famine. And showing a new side of things then the 1950s when these brothels began. But this document is a update showing that the brothels and sex trading ideas coming from poverty and reasons like that are still around.

It add values to a new cultural value that occurred in China. During the Great Famine, selling children and wives to eat seem acceptable. And this is still happening today occurring to this document, families are paying off debts etc. by selling children and essentially keeping the brothels and the sex trades alive. It also adds value to the fact this can happen anywhere not just China.

Limitations faced with this document are, the document talks about evidence found on a raid that was significant to the article but shows none of the evidence making the source questionable.
