Nuclear Warheads Should Be Banned

After finishing Albert Camus’ The Stranger, it is easy to see that I have read something similar to this work previously. I found myself able to correctly predict exactly what was going to happen to Meursault. This phenomenon is easily explained in Thomas Foster’s How to Read Literature Like a Professor. In Chapter 5 of Foster’s work, he discusses how the majority of literature really builds off other works of literature. The tale of someone that has a mediocre live goes through a redemption with himself is very similar to the tale of Buddha.

Nuclear weapons are like the latest toys for state actors. It’s something that everyone wants to have because it shows your strength, wealth and power. Trying to deter people away from that will be a very difficult task. However, I believe that it is achievable to prevent future states from nuclear proliferation. I believed that if we get all the nuclear states on board with a campaign for nuclear disbarment policy, it could be achieved. That would entail involving the U.N and the IAEA and of course major funding to start this campaign. In addition to having a campaign for nuclear disarmament, it would also be very important to stress how they’re other ways to protect ones country other than nuclear weapons. Options, which include other technologies similar to nuclear weapons without nuclear waste being involved, biological weapons, chemical weapons and the old fashion

This created a problem for the international community. How is it possible to restrain the destructive effects of an atom while still being able to use it for peaceful uses like energy? This problem still alludes scholars around the world to this day, but great advances have been made in the effort to control them. Early US efforts to outlaw the use of nuclear weapons failed. Both President Dwight Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy knew the danger Nuclear weapons posed in their time. President Eisenhower proposed the Atoms for Peace initiative and President Kennedy expressed that “a world where as many as twenty five states possessed nuclear weapons could be “the greatest possible danger and hazard” (United States,

For example, people have lost one of their family members. Rape and sexual violence are increasingly being used as a weapon of war. In the past, many girls and young women have babies as a result, or are injured in such a way that they cannot have children in the future. In many conflict, children account for the majority of the casualties. Most die not from the weapons themselves, but from preventable diseases that aren’t prevented or treated because the health systems and infrastructure have been destroyed. Also, during a war, a weapon can easily take away a person’s life. A shot by gun or a bomb by tonnes of explosives but the most harmful is nuclear bomb. The most memorable nuclear war for me is atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Hiroshima’s population, down to roughly 83,000 soon after the bombing, swelled to 169,000 by February of 1946. The two nuclear bomb, Fat Man and Little Boy took away up to 200,000 had died by 1950. Many people have lost their family members or only they are survived. Nuclear bomb would cause world temperatures would fall dramatically and quickly, disrupting food production and possibly rendering human life impossible. Modern nuclear weapons generally have much greater explosive power than those first two bombs, and would greatly increase the scale of the devastation, which means a massive nuclear exchange is a possible cause of

Banning nuclear weapons may sound like a good idea, but what if all nuclear weapons were banned only to have one country secretly develop and launch one? How would the rest of the world fight against them? The bad guys by definition don’t follow the rules. Nuclear weapons can also be good for more than just attacking; they may even save lives by one country having possession of them. They can also give a country more negotiating power. Nuclear weapons were first developed in America because of Albert Einstein’s letter to F.D.R. telling him about the Germans’ attempts to make a missile powerful enough to “destroy an entire port and some of the surrounding territory.” F.D.R. then got together a group of scientists to develop one first. The

There are many nuclear bombing tests that happen throughout each year and it’s extremely unhealthy for the environment let alone if a nuclear war happened. According to scientists, even if a small percentage of the worlds nuclear bombs were set off during a war, it would have an extremely devastating effect on humanity (Jha). Temperatures would drop quickly because there would be so much black smoke in the air that the smoke would absorb

According to the Arms Control Association, as of 2013 there was roughly 15,494 deployed and non deployed nuclear warheads between the five nuclear weapon states. The argument of whether or not nuclear weapons should be reduced in the United States is starting to arise. Nuclear weapons have the power to kill millions of people and lots of land. This is an issue that can’t be ignored. Nuclear weapons should be reduced in the United States because it’s a danger to the world and could ruin this Earth and eventually its people.

As previously stated, the reason two superpowers like Russia and the United States long for nuclear weaponry is down to the fact that frankly, they are paranoid. If you can stockpile most of the nuclear warheads in the world then surely nobody could ever harm your country. This is certainly not the case. By having so many dangerous weapons you are not only a bigger threat to terrorists but also a huge threat to your countries morality. If the leaders of a country say that it is ok to use nuclear weapons to threaten enemies then what’s to say that civilians do not do the same thing to a smaller scale? In the beginning atomic bombs were created to end the war and to save numerous amounts of lives. By this, I mean that multitudinous lives were saved due to the fact that when the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima the Japanese surrendered straight away. If they hadn’t surrendered then the war possibly would have gone on for a lot longer. In contrast to this, look at what has become of the nuclear weapons now. Instead of saving lives, atomic bombs are now kept with the intention of unnecessary mass murder. What makes the monsters that enforce the use of nuclear weaponry any different from Adolf Hitler, Pol Pot or Joseph Stalin? Even though the atomic bombs are not in use at this moment, anyone or any government in possession of these weapons have the intention to inflict large amounts of pain on vast

I think it can be agreed upon by all men and women with sound minds that nuclear warheads are nothing more than trouble; outdated and admittedly empty threats. After all, the most dangerous part of a ginormous bomb is not the actual explosion, but the potential threat created by it.

A single nuclear warhead, if detonated on a large city, could kill millions of people, with the effects persisting for decades.

Imminent death is a scary thought as well as the idea of a massive explosion killing thousands of people. Nuclear muntions have been a part of our nuclear arsenal for several decades now. The amount of mass destruction that can be seen from a nuclear explosion is dreadful but may sometimes be deemed necessary. The purpose of nuclear munitions for the United States is to deter enemies from attacking our homeland, ally countries, and other crucial interests.10 The destructive power of nuclear weapons had a steadying capability on superior countries because the cost would not outweigh the benefits. The importance that nuclear weapons served after World War Two increased due to tensions between Russia during the Cold War. The ability to retaliate with our superior nuclear arsenal has the power to influence any opponent that threats made to our homeland can result in certain devastation.10 The main focus of the use of nuclear munitions is geared toward massive encounters. Massive nuclear encounters could result in whats called a nuclear winter. This is when an enourmous amount of nuclear munitions have been detonated to cause soot and ash to cover the sky enough to block out sunlight and make the weather cooler.5 The alteration to the atmosphere for a nuclear winter could last several years depending on the amount of detonations. The severity of this is what causes the United States and

Nuclear weapons are responsible for a countless amount of deaths, but they have served as deterrents for a countless amount of wars too. Nuclear weapons have been around for about seventy years and the first explosion took place in New Mexico on July 16th 1945. A month later Hiroshima Japan was bombed by the United States which changed war forever. The bomb killed or wounded 130,000 people and three days later the United States bombed Nagasaki Japan, that killed and wounded 246,000. After those two bombings World War II ended. Nuclear weapons made countries realized how dangerous they could be and what the cost of the bombings could do. After World War two the arms race began, A thermonuclear weapon was created for the sole purpose of competition.

Nuclear weapons are a threat that the world has been facing since they were created in 1945. There were arguments then and they continue to this day about whether it is smart or even possible to rid the world of nuclear weapons. There are countries that are still pursuing nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons are a growing trend and there are countries such as North Korea that continue to strive for them today despite the dangers that the weapons pose to the world. There are many pros and cons to developing and maintain nuclear weapons. However there are few alternatives that guarantee the level of safety that they provide. Therefore they are a necessary evil. Nuclear weapons are the only deterrence that have proven to be

There is in neither customary nor conventional international law any comprehensive and universal prohibition of the threat or use of nuclear weapons as such.

“There is only one way to get rid of nuclear weapons…Use them!” (Rush Limbaugh). The world has over 14,900 nuclear weapons 93% of them are owned by The United States of America and Russia. Nuclear weapons were first used in world war two. When they were first used they were very destructive and really put an impact on the world. Nuclear weapons are very deadly and are constantly getting redesigned to be more and more powerful. Not only do nuclear weapons affect people, they also affect the earth, the climate, and animals. Although nuclear weapons affect many things in the world they keep peace too. Nuclear weapons should not be banned worldwide.
