History Topic- Moral and Emotional Effects of WW2 in Corpus Christi
I know this isn't quite an obvious topic for me considering I don't really have a direct connection to it, but how I came about to choosing this topic can mostly be contributed to Mr. Martinez. I remember sitting at my laptop staring at my Statistics homework when the idea came to me that maybe I would like to study WWII for my project. Well, actually now that I come to think of it I sort of had picked my topic long before this project... I remember studying one of the Watchtower magazines for the meeting and coming across an article that talked about a Jehovah's Witness experience in a concentration camp during WWII, and I remember thinking about the huge emotional affect WWII must have had on the world. Which brought me to thinking about how the holocaust and WWII could have possible affected my life. Well anyways after the idea surged in my head that Saturday I texted Mr.Martinez about wanting to study WWII for my project which then lead to a phone call which lead to me reading about an article about the home-front in Corpus Christi during WWII. What I gathered from the article is what really lead to me deciding to choose this topic because it really described the spirits of people in Corpus during the war, and the lingering cloud of emotions it left on the town. Which thus brings me to define my topic for you. My topic consists the study of how the war affected the way the people of Corpus Christi viewed war and most importantly the way the viewed the rights of other people regardless of race, religion, or values. I want to know how and what ultimate lesson, if any, people learned from the atrocities of WWII, how their morals were altered because of this, and what they did to make sure the world never saw such hate in the world ever again.
