2. Bombing Ethics Project--For our first project of the unit, it's high time we discussed the Historical Thinking Concept of "Ethics." Aerial Warfare was still relatively new in WWII, and the concepts of aerial bombardment drew a lot of praise and a lot of criticism. They dealt damaging blows in some battles, and caused wasteful ruin and death in others. Your mission is to assume the mind of a lawyer and research one of the prominent aerial bombardments listed by Mr. Duncan in the handout. You will give a rounded explanation of the context, details, goals, and results of the bombing, and then summarize with an argument as to why the bombing was--or was not--justifiable and ethical. (But first, view the " WWII From Space" section on the Firebombing of Tokyo [1:01:35-1:03:30])

2. The Path to Nazi Genocide--For some prior knowledge on the Holocaust, watch the latter section (15:54-37:00) of the documentary on the Holocaust. What were the gradual steps that led to this catastrophe. Think... was the Holocaust something that was implemented in reaction to something? Or had Hitler planned this from the start?
