Let me start off by saying that there was no capacity for all people to be just and equal as long as African American slavery still existed. The World Dictionary definition of “just” is based on behaving according to what is morally right and fair. Slavery began in America in the 1620’s and existed for over 200 years. Slavery was turmoil‚ assisted by the force of owners and the threat of disgrace and detachment from family and the general public. Not only was slavery very hard work‚ slavery was

for reason of mercy (Webster’s Dictionary 401). The Hemlock Society defines it as "justifiable suicide‚ that is rational and planned self-deliverance". The word euthanasia comes from the Greek- eu‚ which means good and thanatos death. No matter what your definition‚ euthanasia is ethical‚ and physicians should be allowed to assist in it legally (Derek Humphry‚ 18). People usually think of ethical as meaning "conforming to accepted professional standards of conduct" (Webster’s Dictionary 398);

Another argument arises when it comes to the true reason why the bomb was dropped. Since Japan was already surrendering‚ why even drop the atomic bomb? We had won. Historian A claims that the bombing was used as a scare tactic for Russia‚ showing them what the U.S. could really do in battle. The Japanese were basically a guinea pig and a test‚ which is completely inhumane. Scientists who worked on the bomb insisted it not be used on people and rather on empty land which would still make a huge statement

Hammurabi’s Code was harsh and quick in order to serve as a deterrent. The code’s harshness made people see what would happen to them if they broke the law.

In fact‚ it is very slow and does not have many major punishments. Many laws are broken in the U.S because our laws do not serve as a deterrent. If Hammurabi visited the U.S today I think he would not be pleased
