Hiroshima Bombing
This paper gives a critical analysis of Michael Walzer’s opinions on the bombing of Horoshima by the United States of America in 1945. According to Walzer, this war was unjust. In fact, he argues that the attack did not meet the minimum requirements of the military morals. Unlike the Israel Six Day War, this was a punitive aggressive act exclusively meant to meet unjustified ends and cause agonies to the Japanese.
However, I would like to disagree with him by strongly suggesting that this action was justified. First, it would be the most appropriate way of forcing Japan to surrender without any delay. Otherwise, the fight would have continued for a very long time. This helped to save the lives of at least 200,000 Japanese and US soldiers who would have died in case the war continued.
In addition, it would help to counteract the already emerging tension in Europe under the umbrella of the United Socialist Soviet Republic (USSR). In order to convince Stalin to behave, it was necessary that such a force had to be used. This was a valid reason because it would pave the way for American dominance in this region. As we all understand, this was as important to the US government as saving the lives of its troops.
However, I also condemn this attack because it was not well intentioned, but only meant to bring Japan to its knees. Besides, we all know that the Americans are very aggressive. They always destroy the lives of innocent people in other nations to justify their own demands. This is one of those attacks. However, instead of acting so brutally, it would have teamed up with its allies to force Japan to surrender or sign a treaty. This would end the war without killing more people.

Dear Sir,
Greetings to you. I hope this email finds you well.
As requested, I have reviewed the resumes and selected two candidates as you instructed. I write to present to you the list of candidates that I think will be most suitable for the position as well as the least qualified candidate. I have settled for Dominique and Carolina as the best fit for this position and Federico as the least qualified candidate.
I selected Dominique and Caroline as their resume stood out and appealed to me as the most qualified candidates. Dominique’s resume demonstrates that he has had vast work experience in administrative positions. Dominique also possesses the necessary skills that this position requires. Additionally, Dominique demonstrated the outcomes of his previous positions. He noted that he had been awarded multiple opportunity grants, which paints him as a result-oriented candidate. I also think Carolina would be a good fit for the position as her resume demonstrates that she has the required skill-set for the position. Worth noting that Carolina is a good fit as her employment history is consistent with this position. There are no gaps in her employment as she has been in employment since 2014. She is organized and dedicated, qualities that are critical for this position. The fact that she is interested in interactions with county bureaucracy gives her an advantage in holding the position at any department in Plantation City. I would recommend not forwarding Federico’s name to the HR department as she would not be a good fit for the position. His resume is not as comprehensive as the rest and leaves much to be desired. Although the candidate has vast volunteer experience, it is not enough for him to acquire the position because his employment history is not related to the position at hand. Federico has skills, but they would not apply to the position he is seeking.
I recommend proceeding with Carolina and Dominique to the interview stage and eliminating Federico from the race.
I look forward to your response.
regards,

Endgame by Samuel Beckett
Introduction
In most instances, authors of renowned literary works seek to present to the audience vital information with regard to the concepts that they wish to review. This is attained through the employment of different styles and characters. In Endgame, the author employs different approaches to relay to the audience vital information. It is certain that he succeeds in giving the audience a classic presentation of a wide range of themes that are a reflection of the then social concerns. This paper provides an explicit analysis of the notable themes that are presented in this.
In his review, Gussow cites that the theme of generational conflict is inherent in this play (17). In particular, there is a conflict between the father and son that is manifested through the stories told by Hamm. The paternal relationship between the son and son in this regard in perceived in light of resentment as well as power. The protagonist Hamm has been presented to be resentful of his father because of the fact that the latter was unkind to him during his childhood years. On the other hand, Hamm dislikes his son because he considers him to have been born during hard times. Essentially, the human race in this is depicted to be living in denial of critical life processes like procreation. The feelings of bitterness are being perpetuated between generations and this is likely to have different implications on the relationships between the two.
Despite the fact that there is intrinsic tension in the relationships that is triggered by feelings of hatred, the theme of interdependence is prominent. Notably the relationship that is manifested by Hamm and Clov in this respect is of mutual benefit. Hamm relies solely on his son for sight and movement (Beckett 213). On the other hand, Clov looks up upon Hamm for food as he understands the combination in the cupboard better than him. In this regard, Gussow points out that his mutual relationship is undoubtedly essential for the survival of each of the characters (17). Thus it can be considered a very fundamental aspect, especially considering the fat that the relationship between the father and son has already been strained.
The role of the Higher Power has been cited by Cronin to have also been accorded significant importance by the author (54). The desperate physical and emotional situation that Hamm, Clov and Nagg find themselves in makes them to think of the influence of the Higher Power in their lives. In particular, the frustrations that Hamm goes through make him to ask Nagg and Clov to pray. However, Hamm exhibits immense desperation when after this he complains bitterly that God does not exist after all. Since their lives are filled with grief, characters in Endgame look forward to dying. Cronin posits that perhaps they believe this is the only way they can escape from the glaring frustrations. However, they lack the physical capacity to attain this state that they presume to be desirable.
Conclusion
The ability to present to the audience vital concepts regarding to the subject under review is usually at the center stage of most pieces of literature. This is given preference in Endgame as Beckett succeeds in presenting to the audience the vital themes of the role of the Higher Power, generational conflicts and interdependence. He attains this through the employment of the main characters.
