On Friday we covered a current event in class over the rising tensions between Iran and the United States. Iran claims it is planning to enrich Uranium to make nuclear energy but the U.S. believes it intends to make nuclear weapons. For more information on the current situation and on Iran click on the links below. There is also a list of terms to remember also.
We used this topic to lead into our first formal debate of the year. The question we debated in class today was, "Should the U.S. be able to tell other countries they should not have nuclear weapons.?" I hope everyone was able to give their own opinion but also be open enough to listen to the opinions of others. Your assignment is to write a 3-5 sentence comment on this post. Your comment should include your final opinion to the question above and why you believe that. Remember to be respectful and honor one another's thoughts. Also space and write your full name under every comment you leave. Your comments are due by class on Thursday.
I think the U.S does not have that right because if we had nucleur weapons and they didn't. They would think that we would blow them up. If we say they are bad because they have nuclur power. Then we are as bad as them.

I think that the United States should be able to tell other countries not to use nuclear weapons even though we have tons of them. I think this because we don't want any other country bombing us. Also, we don't go around bombing other countries. We help other countries, we don't hurt them.
ReplyDeleteI think the United States should have the right to have nuclear power. I believe this because the United States will use it in a good way and other countries will use it in a bad way. The United States also doesn't want other countries to go bombing the United States or other countries.

No,The us does not have the right to tell other countries that they can't have nuclear weapons because it's like your little brother or sister telling you to go do your homework.We should not care what anybody is doing unless they threaten us.Then if they do threaten us then we use nuclear weapons on them.

Yes, the u.s. has the right to tell other countries they can't have and make nuclear weapons partially because the u.s. does not go around bombing other countries even though we should. Also because we can't risk geting bombed.

No the u.s does not have th right to tell other countries that they can't have nueclear weapons because we wouldn't like another country coming to the u.s and telling us what to do.

I think that the U.S. does not have the right to tell other countries that they can't have nuclear weapons .For the following reasons.
ReplyDelete1.we don't own their country
2.what if we attacked them
3.we are a free country, and we need to show and spread that
But, I do think that there country is dangerous, and we should protect ourselves.

My answer is no for these reasons; The U.S makes nuclear weapons; we wouldn't want people to tell us what to do; if we tell them what to do they might use the weapons on us. I do think Iran is dangerous and we should be cautious.
ReplyDeleteEthan Woodward
Yes because the US doesn't make nuclear weapons to bomb other countries and people. Another reason is that they use most of the nuclear power for energy.
ReplyDeleteClark Jewett
Yes,I believe that we should continue to give foreign aid to other countries during the recession. It would be the right thing to do, because other countries like Spain and France helped us become a country, so we would be paying them back.

No, I think we should not give more money. We already give 90 million dollars through charities. We need the money to we have poor people and people who don't have jobs.

No because the economy is messed up and we have are own problems to take care of and charties already give them money why should America. We give the money to unstable goverments so it is not reasonble to give them money. They get enough money.
