Would you weigh less on a higher level or lower?

It is true that there is a change in weight the further you go from earth, but comparatively weight at sea level and Mt. Everest is insignificant since the radius of the earth is about 700 times greater than the height of Mt. Everest, therefore the weight would be insignificantly smaller.

Sure... your weight (gravity's pull on you) is different at altitude. The higher you are (the further away from the earth you are) the less pull the earth has on you so you become lighter with altitude. So...say you weigh 100 pounds and you made it to the top of Mount Everest (elevation 8,850 meters).

At that peak you weight 0.28% less or .28 pounds less (you weigh 99.72 pounds now)! To complicate things a bit the air is thinner at the top of Mt. Everest so you a bit less buoyant.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
