President Truman and the United States were not justified in using this weapon to force the Japanese to surrender. First of all, the use of this weapon was inhumane to the Japanese civilians. The weapon resulted in an estimated value of 129,000-226,000 deaths. Even after the tragedy, survivors were affected by the high amounts of radiation in their bodies. Most of them contracted cancer and faced the consequences of the bomb. Survivors had to battle burns, starvation, and even severe sickness. Survivors also had to battle with the “inner scars”, physiological damage to the brain. While they were treated for radiation illnesses, many were left traumatized, some the only survivors from their family. Some who still bore inner scars committed suicide. For the rest of their lives, the Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors would be shunned by the Japanese society and haunted by the bomb's’ radiation. The usage of this bomb was inhumane

John Hersey’s Hiroshima takes place in Hiroshima Japan, surrounding areas included, from when the bomb went off on August 6th, 1945 to the middle of the 1880’s. This particular setting and time had a certain impact and influence on the way the people who survived this tragedy had dealt with it.

After the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima the Japanese death rate was declared to be 78150 people dead, 13983 people missing, and 37425 people where injured. All these deaths from one bomb. “..Scientists swarmed into the city”7, these American scientists where not their to help the Japanese survivors, but to collect the information about the bomb, what the effect was on people and land, the shock wave, effect close the bomb and far away. This information was gathered by these American scientists and locked

In All Quiet on the Western Front, the war was brutal and horrific, but it was witnessed by all the parties included. In Hiroshima, especially with the invention of the atomic bomb the result is even more horrifying, but the afflicted and the perpetrators have vastly different viewpoints. In America, we only get the reported results of the aftermath of the destruction we don’t witness them firsthand. However, the victims in Hiroshima will never forget the true extent of devastation of the atomic bomb not only physically but mentally and emotionally as well. The effects of the technological advances in the 20th century have launched a new, deadlier type of war that hides the truth of war behind empty statistics and callous button-pushing that could destroy the entire

The cause for concerns explains why there had been controversy. Concerns that lead to rough environmental changes. After the bombing, the radiation impacted the remaining civilians of Hiroshima health. This is understandable knowing the little boy and fat individual had been profuse with the strongest chemical such as uranium and plutonium. Powerful enough to blow a house window 100 miles away. Imagine how this affected the atmospheres. Regardless, the aftermath of war had and will always leave remarkable bruises to the earth and her

The famous author Ray Bradbury states, “After Hiroshima was bombed, I saw a photograph of the side of a house with the shadows of the people who had lived there burned into the wall from the intensity of the bomb. The people were gone, but their shadows remained.” The impact of the bomb wiped out an entirety of people, but it also created new visions on arms and the future for all people. The decision to drop the atomic bomb on Japan in 1945 was both beneficial and harmful to the United States and Japan which also left positive and negative impressions on other parts of the world.

"When I ran my hand through my hair clumps of my hair would come out." Said the Marshall Island girl after the largest nuclear war head ever tested by the United States government was set off to the north of her. Bravo (the bombs code name) was 1,000 times more powerful then the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. The Marshallese Islanders environment, health, subsistence, family traditions, rituals, religious practices, and following generations were all greatly impaired from Bravo’s blast. The following discuses these effects as well as U.S. interpretations of exposed victims as opposed to unexposed victims. There are also comparisons to the victims of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and the U.S. radioactive homeland.

The public effects of the Chernobyl disaster were far reaching. First of all, it negatively influenced a number of counties’ domestic opinions regarding nuclear programs. Although nuclear protests were common in the 1970s, by 1986 it had dropped from public scrutiny to the point

From the Japanese standpoint, their destiny began with two planes (pika) and an extraordinary sound (don). This great massacre killed millions but for those who survived, it left a traumatizing memory.9 “The foremost characteristic of the physical damages caused by the Nagasaki atomic bombing was the tremendous, instantaneous destruction wreaked by the blast wind and the subsequent fires”.10 According to researchers, it is claimed to be that the Japanese suffer from historical amnesia. They find it ultimately impossible to confront their past that would in turn bring back their horrifying memories caused by the atomic bomb.11 The Japanese are trying to come to some kind of understanding as to why the Americans allowed this bombing to occur. Some think it is nothing less than a war crime. The truth of the matter is that the bomb

This fear was evident in the science fiction films made in that decade. The Japanese, who had already suffered the most from the atomic fallout, were foremost in delivering this terror on film. Godzilla was the result of the American atomic ability. Godzilla wreaked havoc on Tokyo and Japanese citizens. Godzilla can be seen as a metaphor for the horrors the Japanese people endured and was a way to face their fears in the safety of a movie theater.
