Morality In The Song 'Dawn Of Correction'

September 1st, 1939. The Germans have just begun their invasion on Poland sparking the start of the treacherous second World War. Leader of the Nazis, Adolf Hitler, specifically targeted Poland because they fit the description of an opposition. Hitler believed his course of action was morally correct because he wanted to regain what he had lost. In order to do that, however, Hitler needed someone to blame, someone to shoulder all the negative emotion created. Naturally, he needed to designate an enemy. Having control of the enemy ensured dominance, power, and control, but through Hitlers acts, designating an enemy does not necessarily reveal morality, nor does it show ethics. The relationship between war and the way a human acts has only reinforced

Yet the arguement still lingers that humans are born with an innate instinct to defend what is right; that argument being supported by reasonable thinking and is backed up with various examples. The idea of killing others for the sake of our freedom was a highlighted theme in song “Dawn of Correction” by the Spokesmen.

In the eyes of America war was not a lose-lose, but rather a win-lose situation. Flustered with emotion, Americans forgot to realize the effects of war on a nation, opening their own vulnerbality from a lack of raitonal thinking. The same lack of rational thinking was shown in Tim O’Brien’s “The Things They Carried”. Tim O’Brien is a Vietnam war veteran who documented his time in the war. He constantly noted the shame in which he would have faced if he simply had turned away from the war. From an attack on pride “Men killed, and died, because they were embarrssed not to.” (Tim O’Brien “The Things They
