Should one of the world’s biggest underwater ocean floor graveyards be invaded for the purpose of history? In the moral eyes of society, no. Who would want to dig up a graveyard? In my eyes, I think the opposite. Salvaging the Titanic solely for historic and study purposes sounds like something extraordinary. Not only would it give us more of an understanding, it would be incredibly educational. If the belongings and the pieces of the Titanic were revived for nonprofit purposes, the world wouldn’t be able to forget what happened to many of their ancestors. Many times, important things go missing from our minds. Although to us, the sinking was catastrophic, later on in life people may not be so affected. Taking what is left and showing it to the world will give us a permanent and physical reminder to what should be kept in mind, and can even teach us all a very important lesson both now and in the future. If we have physical evidence as a memory booster, it could even prevent disaster in the future. The objects saved could remind us that if you get too confident in what you're doing and oversee the consequences, people can get hurt. Artifacts teach us about the past, and what could say it better than the actual scene of a …show more content…
forsaken tragedy? It’s almost like saying “don’t do what we did or you’ll end up as an artifact in a museum as well.” What’s the point in glorifying it if we can’t take the real lesson out of it? Although I do have a strong belief on the subject, I fully understand my counter argument. I do think it is somewhat wrong to raid a 1500-person graveyard, but it has been scientifically said that there is likely no more body remains still in existence. Technically now it is not a graveyard at all, but more of a piece of the event washed away by the waves and engulfed by the sea floor. There still is the respect for the dead factor, but I know that if I died in a historically significant way I would want them to do what they had to do to prevent it from happening to anyone else, or even just to educate people on the subject. People donate their bodies to science all the time, and they all mean to better the things going on around them. At this point, the belongings of the dead can be honored and admired by the whole world, and what is more respectable than that? Take into account that there is also a 9/11 memorial.
Thousands of people visit that each year. Was it invading a graveyard to make a memorial for a catastrophe? I know a lot of people who would say no. People go into the 9/11 museum and pay their respects. When I went, I was amazed. I was too young to fully understand what happened myself, but going to the museum put everything into a terrible perspective for me. It taught me what my family had to go through and experience. It helped me feel all of the victim’s pain. If the Titanic was done the same justice, I think that kids like me could know what it was like to die in such a horribly unjust way, because it happened before any of us could truly understand what it was like at the
time. If they had an entire museum dedicated to the Titanic, with as much of the ship and artifact belongings as possibly, great things would come out of it. So rather leaving the event to decay and to rot, we would be given a chance to honor the dead and give them what they deserved. The sentimental collection of things would be a part of their family history as well. People could see their ancestor’s belongings, and they could admire that what was saved could have been passed down to them. They could see that their family member’s death is now an important part of history and visit what is left of them whenever they want, rather than wonder what is left down in the deep depths of the ocean. If a beloved family member of mine disappeared one day, I would do whatever it takes to get back an item of theirs, just to prove that they were of existence. I would want to see whatever was left of that family member, because in some way that means that their legacy is kept alive.
Imagine that one piece of history that is taken from a town. This piece of history tells l people how this town was built and all the important people that were apart of the community. “Returning Antiquities to Their Countries of Origin” by Joyce Mortimer can many people about how objects are getting taken from Museums. They should be returned immediately. There are so many artifacts out there that could be so important to people, and if someone can just imagine what it would feel to have one of the most important object taken from a museum and to be never returned again. Many people enjoy seeing these objects so why are they being taken?
“Land of the free and the home of the brave.” This line has represented the United States for decades. These words were captured in The Star Spangled Banner by Francis Scott Key and since 1913, the United States has adopted The Star-Spangled Banner as its national anthem. We have used the Red, White, and Blue as one of our nation’s symbols. It has fifty stars, to represent the number of states we have in our Union. The military pledges its allegiance to the flag and the country which it represents at all costs. We are the land of the free and the home of the brave, and we are proud to show it.
Franklin D. Roosevelt is informing the country of the attack on Pearl Harbor. He is trying to persuade the United States to back his reasoning to go the war. Roosevelt uses pathos, ethos, and logos and help persuade the American people. By using the emotion of his audience to feel angered towards the empire of Japan, he feels it will help persuade. Giving strong ethical points why going to war must happen. Also, using facts to give himself a sense of credibility.
So, the Lake County High School student body was told today by Jimmy Snyder, that we will be having a school shooting drill sometime in the month of November. Therefore, be prepared for it at any given time of the school day. These people know about the upcoming drill: Parents, Staff, Policemen, and the
Host: On September the 11th 2001, the notorious terror organisation known as Al-Qaeda struck at the very heart of the United States. The death count was approximately 3,000; a nation was left in panic. To this day, counterterrorism experts and historians alike regard the event surrounding 9/11 as a turning point in US foreign relations. Outraged and fearful of radical terrorism from the middle-east, President Bush declared that in 2001 that it was a matter of freedoms; that “our very freedom has come under attack”. In his eyes, America was simply targeted because of its democratic and western values (CNN News, 2001). In the 14 years following this pivotal declaration, an aggressive, pre-emptive approach to terrorism replaced the traditional
Anzac Day. On the 25th of April, 1915 Australian and New Zealand forces formed part of the allied expedition that set out to capture the Gallipoli Peninsula. Anzac day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand that commemorates the Australia New Zealand Army Corps (ANZACs) who served in all wars, battles and conflicts. Anzac day is an important day for many Australians and New Zealanders as it is a day where people take time to appreciate the soldiers who risked or gave their lives to represent and fight for our country in all the wars. Since Anzac day is celebrated so widely, there are many opinions that have developed over time. Some Australians and New Zealanders believe Anzac day shouldn’t be celebrated and others believe
Death is never an easy thing to understand, though maybe some comic relief will help you out; we have the 10 most ironic deaths ever to occur in history. It may be cruel to find these events to be entertaining, but these deaths deserve some recognition. Look at it this way: they will never be forgotten! Read on to find out how it all happen, and just be thankful it didn’t happen to you. Also, don’t forget to check back soon for our part two article, with the five most ironic deaths of them all!
I am tired of living in total fear that my school, town, or any other public place will be the new breaking news of a shooting. No person right in the head will go around shooting up a school or anywhere else because they were angry at the people there. If we want to actually do something other than cry we need to know the first step in how these things happen. 1)person makes plan 2)person buys gun 3)peruses plan. We may no be able to stop a person thought process but we can sure as heck change how someone messed up enough to kill people to buy a gun. There is no reason for those type of people to be aloud to. How am I supposed to go to school and leave my house without thinking "wow, this could be it". Today I walked out of school to see police
I. After all, there is approximately 100,000 people in New York that have post-traumatic stress disorder.
I am writing to you today to express my concerns over the current NSA spying programs. It is my right at a citizen to share my beliefs about how our government is handling its surveillance. I am a 48-year-old doctor from Oklahoma and I know I am not the only one who has concerns about the government spying on us. Firstly, what the government and NSA is doing is simply illegal. There’s no denying this. They have violated our unalienable right to privacy. The 4th Amendment of our Constitution clearly states that our privacy must not be infringed upon without a warrant. The NSA however is willing and able to monitor anyone they choose without a warrant and without notifying the person they are spying on (ACLU). For me, this poses a real threat
This was a very informative article. I was unaware of all the deaths in result of gun violence. I didn’t realize that people who worked for the government or who was in congress were often targets. In order to fully get rid of gun violence in schools, each and every school should have metal detectors that can detect weapons and always have security guards on duty. By doing this, parents are more comfortable with sending their students off to school. Taking this step in every school around the world would definitely cost lots of money but it will honestly be worth it. After all the school shooting we’ve heard about, we’d definitely be saving plenty of lives just in case an incident does happen. I went to highschool in a rough neighborhood and
The Holocaust Memorial Museum was built to honor those who were directly affected by the Holocaust. “Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as God himself. Never” Elie Wiesel (“Holocaust Encyclopedia”). While some believe the building of the museum was a political act for President Carter, others were very optimistic of the outcome. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum was a marvelous achievement for this country and those who dedicated their time and effort to this wonderful building. This museum not only has an interesting history and opening, but exhibits inside are nothing in comparison to the statistics of this grand foundation.
Picture the worst thing you could ever imagine. Gore, violence, murder, complete and utter horror. Now, multiply this by 100. You have nearly created the Holocaust.Some say it was the darkest period in history.If you asked me, however, I would tell you it was beyond your worst nightmare.
Hi, everybody. This week, America came together to salute our veterans – to express our appreciation to all who served so that we might live free. But our gratitude should extend beyond what our veterans have done for us in the past. It should remind us of our responsibility to serve them as well as they have served us. It should compel us to keep our veterans central to the ongoing work of this nation.
I have seen and been to a few monuments in my life. The one that’s sticks out in my mind the most is my visit to the World Trade Center after the first bombing. I remember the first couple of floors were being worked on, and you couldn’t really walk pass the building. Still, it was a magnificent site to see. I must have looked like a tourist because my eyes were constantly focus on all the huge skyscrapers that surrounded me.
