The End Of The World

When most people think of a nuclear threat, they think of a nuclear attack from a foreign nation. In reality, the largest nuclear threat comes not from foreign attack, but from a much closer enemy: nuclear power. Nuclear power is very dangerous, and should be done away with. The nuclear age dawned in 1945, when the United States dropped atomic bombs on two Japanese cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The bombing had at least two effects: the Japanese surrender, bringing World War II to a swift end; and many people in the United States, especially scientists and officials involved in the development of atomic bombs, were awed, frightened and filled with guilt over the death and destruction they had caused.

insisted that the remaining smallpox cultures be destroyed by 1999 ( “Smallpox Eradication” 2). However, despite the W.H.O. 's recommendation, the remaining cultures continue to be contained and protected to this day, five years after the suggested date of elimination. As a direct result, a world-wide debate has raged on for nearly the past decade posing the question of smallpox eradication. If small pox were to be eradicated as originally suggested, the safe and only remaining known cultures would be wiped out.

With Japan, Korea, the United States, and China being in it, it went for more than 3 years from June 25th, 1950 – July 27th, 1953. In the end with the Korean War, North Korea had 750,000 men dead in this whole thing and weren’t able to win. But how did everyone get involved? And how did it all end for them? There has to be reasons that they countries got involved.

Due to the claim that many people had on the atomic bomb by the dual mission to first to compel surrender of the Japanese and second to demonstrate Stalin that Uranium and Plutonium bombs could work in combat condition. I personally think that to first compel surrender of the Japanese should be to only protect ourselves. The United States is justified that I am guessing close to about a million allied lives would have been saved by using the atomic bombs to end the war. Obviously it wouldn 't all just happen over night or within a few days. Roughly for about a year or heavy fighting with many loses it would be to take down the main land.

A third reason or is whether or not the use of atomic weapons on innocent people was worth the media backlash. A final reason is that the work the Americans and British did on the atomic bomb, would be an evolution of modern-day weaponry. The opinions on the atomic bomb and its use have been questioned for the past 69 years. The creation and use of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II, was a necessary measure to end the war because the lives of Allied nations citizens needed to be protected. Many things about the events leading up to the atomic bombings need to be understood before main points and reasons can be explained.

It was intended to be a deterrent, to make Germany or any other enemy think twice before using such a weapon against the United States. In addition, the U.S could’ve used one of the atomic bomb as a demonstration bomb to scare Japan off, threatening them that the U.S do have a strong weapon that can wipe away their city as a whole. Some say that there was racism included in this decision. At the time, Japanese were looked upon as inhuman and

The Bombing of Hiroshima The bomb was dropped for many reasons and President Truman was faced with a hard decision to drop the bomb. During World War II, the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. If he dropped the bomb he would surely have killed an estimated 200,000 Japanese and the city of Hiroshima. Otherwise he would risk the invasion of Japan, which would cause even more causalities and even more Japanese lost lives. Truman thought of the military, political, and moral benefits and harms for dropping the bomb on Hiroshima.

• One person dies by suicide every 40 seconds somewhere in the world. • 1.8% of worldwide deaths are suicides. • Global suicide rates have increased 60% in the past 45 years. One person dies of suicide in Lebanon every three days, a figure that a top government health official described as "frightening" and which will be the target of a new national suicide prevention campaign. Health officials pledged to launch a suicide prevention hotline within two years and highlighted initiatives that are providing affordable mental health care to those who need it, saying the actual figure for suicides is likely higher due to the religious and cultural taboo surrounding the issue.

Abstract:  Now that the Cold War is over, both the United States and the former Soviet Republics are dismantling their nuclear arsenals. Because of a less than reliable system of nuclear security in Russia, the chances of terrorists group obtaining uranium or plutonium from Russia have increased. However, in order to assemble the nuclear weapon, the group would need both knowledge and all the necessary materials. Thus, a nuclear threat by a terrorist is possible but not very likely. Nuclear Terrorism: During the 1980s, the world often watched and wondered what would and could occur between the two super power nations, the United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

For more than fifty years and counting, Paul R. Ehrlich has been alerting people to the importance of overpopulation and the threats that it may pose. In his 1968 best seller, The Population Bomb, biologist Paul Ehrlich more specifically declared, "In the 1970s and 1980s, hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now." Famines on that scale never arrived. The most important question in this essay is what are the threats that overpopulation will pose? Poverty is one main problem, if the number of people exceeds the capacity of the environment or habitat then there will be a huge number of demands and not all the people will have their needs fulfilled, and countries will be unable
