Case Analysis: Bombs Are All Over

This New York Times article discusses the ideas of Paul Ehrlich on population and the environment. Although Ehrlich often resorted to dramatizations and apocalypse-type imagery in his writings, they often had some very poignant objective. Ehrlich discussed the “Population Bomb”, the idea that population was rising so rapidly, that widespread famine would soon be an issue for millions of people. As we saw, no such event occurred, but Ehrlich still firmly believes measures should be taken to limit population growth such as “tax benefits for having additional children” and taxes on childcare items such as diapers and strollers. These proposals and ideas remain highly controversial, as they were in the 1970’s and continue to create a stir even

Many people know what it feels like for one action or event to change the whole course of a day, a year, or maybe your whole life. The book The Bomb, by Theodore Taylor, is set on a Pacific Island called Bikini Atoll. During World War II, the Americans took over the atoll from the Japanese, who were in control at the time. The main character, Sorry Rinamu, is grateful for being freed by the Americans. However, after the war, the Americans wanted to test another Atomic Bomb, and they chose to test it for research at Bikini Atoll. The conflict that drives the plot is that Sorry tries to stop the Americans from testing the bomb on his home (person vs society). The two primary ways it generates the plot are when most islanders agree to have their atoll taken away by the Americans and when Sorry gets the radical idea to stop the test from happening from his uncle, Abram Rinamu.

Argument 1: The Bomb Was Made For Defense Only The origins of the Manhattan Project go back to 1939, when Hungarian-born physicist Leo Szilard, who had moved to the U.S. in 1938 to conduct research at Columbia University, became convinced of the feasibility of using nuclear chain reactions to create new, powerful bombs. German scientists had just conducted a successful nuclear fission experiment, and based on those results, Szilard was able to demonstrate that uranium was capable of producing a nuclear chain reaction. Szilard noted that Germany

1. Long after World War II and the use of the atomic bombs against Hiroshima and Nagasaki, a great debate remains. It seems that there are two main potential arguments as to why the bombs were detonated and whether or not they were even necessary to begin with. The first theory surrounds the notion of the national security interests of the United States. In this theory essentially, Truman’s actions had been defended and justified as necessary in order to quickly end the war with U.S. causalities kept to a minimum.

Have you ever been really nervous because if you don't win a race to build the world most dangerous weapon you are in a critical condition of dying? The best part of the book is when Japan refuses to surrender. The only option is to drop atomic bombs on Nagasaki

Dillow’s focus on bomb making falls short of the mark Clay Dillow’s October 2015 article in Popular Science “To Catch a Bombmaker” explores how FBI forensic skills have been developed since 2003 to benefit United States forces fighting bomb making foreign insurgents. Dillow tells the story of how a small lab at the Marine Corps Base at Quantico has used FBI analytical data to link more than 2,700 suspects to possible terrorist activities, adding more than 350 people to the terrorist watch list. Dillow’s purpose was to reveal how detective skills have evolved to address a growing number of homemade bombs threats to the United States. While the article examines many one case in which insurgents are nabbed, information is not shared on how forensic data alone may not be enough to tell a more balanced story about bomb makers. Dillow writes an article of how one bomber is stopped, but the narrative falls short of offering a deeper account of how effective our efforts have been to stop terrorists in their tracks.

Although dropping the Atomic Bomb was detrimental to a group of Japanese citizens, it saved many American lives and ultimately ended the war. If the American Army tried to make a land attack against the Japanese they would have lost many American lives, and possibly many more Japanese lives. And there would have been a possibility of many more years of fighting. Also the Japanese were given fair warning, on July 26 the Japanese were given the chance to surrender known as the Potsdam Declaration. Even though many people see the dropping of the Atomic bomb as a good thing, many people were against it because it cost many civilians their lives.

necessary to ending the had. That never happened. George Marshall then suggested that we warned the Japanese ahead of time to clear the military base at Hiroshima of people,

The Most Difficult Decision Ever President Truman stood in the oval office full of many advisors, but was truly alone ready to make the hardest decision, which would change the world forever. Is dropping the bomb the right decision for the president to make?

The author uses a poignant description of a bomb test that happened during her childhood, “we saw it, clearly, this golden-stemmed cloud, the mushroom. The sky seemed to vibrate with an eerie pink glow” (Williams 313). This bomb test, with others plays a central role to story, hence its need to be vividly described by Terry Williams. As the story goes on Williams tells us about her family history and describes the struggles that come with her family lineage, “I held their foreheads as they vomited green-black bile and I shot them with more morphine when the pain became inhuman” (Williams 315). She tells us about this scene to draw emotion from the reader, to get them to invest in her cause which is later revealed as the story goes on.

       In the news article, the author's claim is the violent bombings were horrific and tragic for the black community. The first way we were shown this is by all of the amazing vocabulary used in the article. The reporter used words such as” glass that flew out” and “blast

Prejudice- the pestilential aspect of human behavior that has lasted for as long as our species existed. In fact, in the wake of the bombings in St. Petersburg, Russia, people were quick to point to their fingers at not only ISIS, but all Muslims as well. According to Andrew Roth in an article posted on NDTV, he wrote how,

I love your point on the feminist perspective and couldn’t agreed more. I absolutely believe Hilary Clinton would drop a bomb if necessary. In our society women are more than domestic creatures. Women are in military, and high power position making very important difficult decisions such what Madam Secretary Clinton faced.

Obama administration has banned Saudi Arabia from acquiring cluster bomb over a report by human rights who indicates that Saudi-led coalition has used cluster bombs in two occasions whereas Bashar Al Assad has poisoned its people by chemical weapon and doing nothing about it. Having such double standards will not be conducive to a peaceful world we have long dreamed
