The slide show presents the historical "Beaches of Normandy" from WWII. A triumph of human spirit and American Pride, but also a horrific scene of death and warlike destruction. It shows that actions have consequences. That you must take a plan of action to solve anything. Things do not self resolve. So what is the right thing to do. Tackle and conquer your problems at any expense. Or use patience and wait. Every problem is it's own to be solved.
This slideshow depicts the famous, dark, heroic, sad, and horrific things that occured when American forces stormed the beaches of Normandy France. The first slide shows American soldiers of all races, backgrounds, and ages on a landing craft headed for hell. The second slide shows the soldiers departing the landing craft and "storming the beachfront". They knew where they were going, and what they were almost certainly headed for, but they went anyway. The third slide is a painting showing the horrifying battle that ensued. What is right? Were these soldiers right in sprinting toward machine gun nests and fighting for the man next to them? The fourth and final slide simply shows a helmet in the surf. The helmet symbolizes all the men who lost their lives fighting that day. What is the right thing to do? The right thing to, in this case, was to put your thoughts, feelings, emotions, and nerves aside and do what your country asked of you. These men knew that they had an extremely small chance of survival, but they also knew that they were fighting for a bigger cause, and for that I, as we all should be, am grateful. This is similar in nature to Aristotles idea of what is the right thing to do i.e. in battle, you should niether be too cowardly or too rash. These men are all heroes, they all did the right thing, and the world is a better place because of it.
To my friend, i would have to say that in my mind this slide show really tries to bring out what is good. from the thoughts of aristotle we know that everything that is bad in one way or another turns around and becomes something that is good. is this always true? Are things that happen in war bad things that strive for a greater good? i believe this is something that we all have to think about more. Personally i think that war does lead to a greater good, being the critical thinker that i am i do try to look at things from the other side, i like where you are going with this andrade keep up the good work my brotha
