Nuclear War : The Cold War

The beast in the Novel The Lord of the Flies is representing man's fear of the unknown. The beast frightens the boys because they don’t know if it is real . “do you think we are safe down here?” (Golding) piggy asks this after they say that they saw the beast ,“Maybe there is a beast… maybe it's only us.” (Golding) . The boys are scared of the beast and it is one of the things that drives them apart from one another .

Since the invention of nuclear weapons, they have presented the world with a significant danger, one that was shown in reality during the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. However, nuclear weapons have not only served in combat, but they have also played a role in keeping the world peaceful by the concept of deterrence. The usage of nuclear weapons would lead to mutual destruction and during the Cold War, nuclear weapons were necessary to maintain international security, as a means of deterrence. However, by the end of the Cold War, reliance on nuclear weapons for maintaining peace became increasingly difficult and less effective (Shultz, et. al, 2007). The development of technology has also provided increasing opportunities for states

Initially, the “beast” in the Lord of the flies is fear. In the article on Doc A, it states that, “They externalize these fears into the figure of the “beast.” This illustrates that the fears of people, or in this case the boys, began to materialize, and eventually transforms into the beastly figure in the novel. In Doc B, the boy with the mulberry-colored birthmark on his face, claims to have seen a “beastie.” He goes on to to elaborate to the other boys that “ It was a snake-thing ever so big.” This representation of the “beast” probably symbolizes the boy’s fears.

The beast shows itself as a number of things throughout the book; it shows itself as war, as stated in document C as an offstage protagonist, “Lord of the Flies, far from being a mere fiction is also an authentic history

Starting in the 1949 with the explosion of an atomic bomb(RDS-1) in Russia and ending with the dissolvement of the Soviet Union, the nuclear arms race was an extremely tense few decades that forever changed the United States in many ways. The Arms Race is exactly what it sounds like; a race to amass more advance weapons. During these four decades, the Nuclear Arms Race affected Americans socially through instilling a variety of emotions ranging from fear, to awe of the power of the nuclear weapons, economically through enlarging governmental role within the economy and mostly importantly, the political impacts were more involvement required by the U.S government in world affairs and as a force against Russia.

While Nuclear energy may have been beneficial to the American government and its citizens in some ways, it reshaped the way Americans and the United States Government thought of the role of citizens in Nuclear America. Americans could not rely on their government to keep them safe anymore and the government, through misguided attempts at preserving and improving the citizens’ lives, were putting those very lives at risk.

Image,being alive during the cold war. You will be aware that the United States could be bombed or even if you lived in Russia you would still be scared because at any time a bomb can get be drop on either the United States or Russia did not matter.The cold war started because of the arms race they would use their "weapons" to threaten each other.Imagine hearing the tv that Russia or the United States can drop a bomb on each other at any moment.Image there can be a Russian spy next to you or lives near you.The other reason why the cold war started is because of communist vs capitalist.Inconclusive there were some scary moments during the cold war what would you do if you were alive during it.

Instate violence has decreased in recent decades when it comes to nuclear war, but small arms war is still wide spread. More "wars" have had the use of guns than the use of nuclear weapons. More people have been killed in "wars" because of guns than because of nuclear weapons. However, more people can be killed in an instant by nuclear weapons whereas when you use a gun, more people can be killed in a span of a few months. It is also easier and cheaper to get a gun than it is to make and use a nuclear weapon. Terrorists are scary with a gun or a box-cutter, but imagining ISIS or Al Qaeda with a nuclear weapon would cause the utmost terror across America.

In the post World War II era, a war arose between the Soviet Union and the United States, but in reality there was never really any documented fighting between the two nations, thus spawning the catch phrase "Cold War." Even though both countries were ready to go to war at the blink of an eye and almost did, the powers-that-be never got the nerve to authorize a nuclear war that would have made World War II look like child's play. This was a war fought in the political ring, and was also a war that did not start at the end of World War II, this war started during the war against Hitler and lasted for forty more years before peace became predominant over the crumbling Soviet Union. Many events occurred in this political

What was the cold war that and why was did it strike so much fear into people. The cold war is a war where there is no heat of battle in the war but its on the line of starting full blown war and the biggest situation related to this is the cold war in between the US and the USSR. In this cold war the biggest threat was the fact that they both had a weapon that could cause mass destruction and many deaths. This is what mainly kept them from going at each other.

The development of nuclear weapons helped to end World War II, but in turn created their own war between the United States and the Soviet Union. The development of modified military missiles such as the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, or ICBM, by Americans and the Soviets, had an impact on the struggle of power of the Cold War. The importance of military involvement in the creation of modified missiles and engines were critical events of the Cold War. Additionally, the steps taken to get to space were a byproduct of this Arms Race and the Cold War. Because the United States and the Soviet Union feared what the other country would or could do with weapons of mass destruction and the thought of the opposing country being able to control

It has become clear, due to recent events, that the United States and North Korea have been under the impression of a nuclear war. I understand the opposition's view and would like to explain the ideas and beliefs as a member of your opposition. I think highly of the passion shown by your members to protect the United States. This is a time between the whole word or North Korea. However, I do believe that a nuclear war between the United States and North Korea will impact the entire world, not just the individuals directly involved in the war.

Mutually assured destruction, or MAD, is a war confrontation strategy that has no restrictions on the production or use of nuclear weapons and suggests that the two sides engaged in nuclear war should expect the complete annihilation of their countries. This strategy may seem immoral compared to others strategies such as, counterforce, which would only target a governments military assets and restrict the use of weapons on civilian targets. However, the MAD strategy can assure the security of every country, and its citizens, who may be engaged in a future military conflict and for many reasons. The most important reason is that this non-restrictive strategy would be able to keep countries with nuclear capabilities in check even without unstable negotiations and treaties mainly because of the fear of annihilation. This fear is strengthened by the advanced weapon technologies that have been engineered since the beginning of the cold war. Also, it is completely and utterly impossible to predict the outcome of nuclear war. There is no telling what kind of retaliation a country might enact even if they had agreed to the same counterforce strategy as their enemy. Lastly, this has been the original strategy adopted by countries and global organizations since the development of the atomic bomb, and it has been proven to work and should continue to work as long as there continues to be nuclear weapons on our planet.

In recent weeks/reports, North Koreas leader has threatened to wage war against the Americans. He made the statement “We will tear Americans to pieces, I don’t care what it takes even we will use nuclear weapon’s”. This brings alarm to the United States Nuclear policy and how they tolerate nuclear weapons from other countries. Should the United States tell all the countries who currently or are researching nuclear weapons dispose all their research. The debate continues as Prime Minister of Israel came in to talk to the congress about Obamas nuclear policy again. Should we keep our nuclear weapons or dispose all of them by making all the other countries who have these weapon’s to dispose theirs too. The

In 2014, 32 658 innocent people died in five third world countries do to terrorism, 6 531 of these people died because of aiding countries missile attacks to help prevent terrorism. These developing countries have lots of conflicts within their own country and with others. When more developed countries get involved, more innocent people get killed. Once one developed country gets involved, more countries will get involved to help, so the war gets bigger, and these countries that are at war could decide to go to nuclear warfare.
