Essay on Nuclear Weapons

Handling Nuclear Warfare and Weaponry Just over seventy years ago, there were two cities, both filled with people of differing opinions and ideas. There were many buildings, factories, and families, all interacting and being together, yet in just a matter of seconds, all this life was destroyed.

One of the hot button issues of nuclear weapons is the argument whether or not nuclear weapons are necessary or a necessary evil. Carl Sagan and Kenneth Waltz are the forerunners

population have been able to create nuclear power; a type of energy that is integrated into atomic energy. Almost 60 years ago, had the commencement of the Manhattan Project begun on the development of the first nuclear weapon. 60 years later, 9 countries alone possess a total of over 23,000 nuclear weapons which is enough to wipe out the human population many times over. This type of power can be found in nuclear plants but has now developed into an extremely dangerous weapon. It has been used to attack

With this kind of issue going on, having weapons of mass destruction in Iran could result in the world being changed if the weapons got into the wrong hands. Radical terrorists are very unstable people who can not be trusted

Nuclear weapons are one of, if not the most dangerous weapons in the world today and they are one of the biggest issues the world faces at this current moment. They have the capability of destroying entire cities and then some that could result in millions of deaths within seconds. Radiation from the blasts would kill even more people throughout years to come. They were first used in 1945 at the end of World War II, when the United States dropped Little Boy and Fat Man in Hiroshima and Nagasaki to
