Atomic Bomb Vs Penicillin

The Atomic bomb, for example, changed the face of warfare forever. Even though the United States was the only country in the world to ever use nuclear weapons in time of war, many countries have developed, tested and perfected their own Atomic Bombs. The threat of an all out nuclear war has happened before and the effect could actually wipe out the human race. The effect would be extremely devastating. The effect of penicillin is a good effect however. It changed medicine forever and lead to the development of antibiotics (Mindell). Penicillin has helped save millions of lives since it was first developed. Radar that was originally invented in WWII, has been highly developed over the years. In today's society, we have radar that can see things thousands of miles away. Radar set the foundations for modern technology we have today, such as, television and even GPS

Acacia Dairsow Page one P.5 The Amazing Discovery of Penicillin and Antibiotics! Antibiotics have been around for years, but at the same time only for a short period, as in about 80 years ago Therefore penicillin and antibiotics are one of the greatest discoveries of the 20th century Seeing as how Penicillin is one of the greatest discoveries of the 20th century, it is now commonly used to cure “common” or “simple” infections, Alexander Fleming was the one to discover Penicillin and its uses, and Penicillin was actually discovered by accident. I’ve used a variety of sources to learn and study about one

Why was the invention of penicillin so important in the context of WWII? What were some other advances in medicine that were

The casualties due to the atomic bomb launched by the United States in 1945 were recorded at a horrifying high body count in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. The atomic bomb that hit Hiroshima was known as “Little Boy” and the one that struck Nagasaki was known as “Fat Man.” Several dozens of thousands of people died from these two carcinogenic, lethal bombs.

In this reading there was many very interesting facts about penicillin. Penicillin was a breakthrough in the medical field in the 20th century. The scientist Alexander Fleming had accidentally spilled a vile of bacteria on to a plate of bacteria to his benefit he found that is had stopped the growth of bacteria. This accidental discover has benefited everyone in the world because we have to get these shots if we are infected, plus it saved many life’s in world war II. However, Penicillin is considered an antibiotic chemical that is created by living organism to stop the growth of bacteria and prevent an illness if people were to come into contact with this problem. Since the discovery and massive stock piling of this cure it has become less

Penicillin is a type of antibiotics. It fights nasty bacteria in a human body. Penicillin is used to help many different infections caused by bacteria. Penicillin was made for the soldiers in world war one, it was to help bullet wound infections and infections caused by lost limbs. Penicillin is made from extracting it from mould.

The wonderful discovery of Penicillin, a medicine that was discovered in 1928. This medicine was used to cure bacteria in humans. Penicillin had good results not only in the 1928, as it also still is very successful today. Penicillin had a big impact, it cured many people in the U.S. during World War II. penicillin,leads to the development of others antibiotics.

The researchers worked on the purification and chemistry of penicillin, that began intensely in 1939. To carry out a program of

     Penicillin has helped save many lives throughout the years. It has cured things like strep throat, which many people have had in their lives, syphilis, and gonorrhea. It also sparked a new wave of

It had the same curing properties as “M+B” (it cured infectious diseases), the only difference being that it also treated wounded soldiers. It greatly increased the survival rate of wounds and infectious diseases, and in my opinion, without Penicillin the death rate would have probably doubled or tripled! Like “M+B” the demand for Penicillin boomed during World War Two, and the mass production of the drug increased greatly.

One of the medical improvements during World War Il was penicillin. We also had a

Most of the technology that we take for granted today can be directly traced back to WWII. Extensive amounts of research was preformed during this era and for the first time war efforts were directly aimed at disrupting the enemy’s ability to preform research and develop new technologies. In modern day America we take antibiotics for granted and don’t really think twice about the history, or what life was like before them. In the early 1900s people could become very ill and in some cases die from things as simple as a splinter that become infected. When soldiers in WWI were being wounded on the battlefield the

The study was done by secretary of war stimson predicted five to ten million japanese fatalities. Their was some support for the bomb even among some of the japanese. If the military had its way they would have kept fighting the japanese until all 80 million japanese were dead. A japanese professor recalled that at wars end, due to extreme food rationing he had weighed less that 90 pounds and could scarcely climb a flight of stairs. He said he couldn't have survived another month. The atomic bomb saved him and many japanese. Another concurrent argument supporting the use of the bomb is that its primary objective of shortening the war. The bombs were dropped on August 6th and 9th. The next day the japanese requested a halting of the war. The names of the two atomic bombs that they used were. “Little boy” the bomb used against hiroshima, and the fat man bomb.

To begin with, penicillin is a medicine that help save lives. The medicine was one of the greatest medical discoveries of all time. The way how penicillin works is that it kills off bacteria. The medicine will continue to stop infectious diseases.

The onset of World War II made the drug very essential to the recovery of soldiers. It prevented millions of deaths and amputations, and the number of units sold in the United States increased from 400 million to 650 billion units per month in just two years. The number of casualties would have been drastically larger without penicillin since minor injuries would have proliferated into fatal infections. This antibiotic not only had short-term effects, but also had long-term effects since penicillin remains the most widely used drug today. Strep throats can be easily and cheaply treated now, but around seventy years ago, people would have died because of this
