allowed to possess nuclear weapons as stablished by the Non-Proliferation Treaty. This paper aims to discuss the history behind China’s nuclear program and the state’s stance on nuclear weapons and nuclear energy, followed by the countries position regarding the current nuclear program of Iran. Introduction to China’s Nuclear Program The roots of China’s nuclear program dates back to the early 1950s with Mao Zedong in power and his desire to establish a nuclear weapons program during the First Taiwan

Nuclear weapons have been a point of contention ever since their discovery. At the turn of the century however, as developing country’s in the semi-periphery, such as India, began pursuing these nuclear weapons for their own national security, and the countries in the core have focused efforts toward nuclear nonproliferation agreements while they maintain nuclear power. From a world system theory approach, these countries in the core were attempting to maintain economic regional control over nuclear

The United States of America was the first country in the world to develop and test nuclear weapons. The Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed on 6 August 1945 and 9 August 1945. This was the first instance where nuclear weapons were used as warfare. U.S was the sole possessor of nuclear weapons up until August 29, 1949, when the Soviet Union tested their first nuclear weapon. This was followed by the UK in 1952, France in 1960 and China in 1964. During the 1960s these five states

This has been an occurring issue for a while now but the recent school shooting by Adam Lanza in December of 2012, an unstable man who had access to assault weapons killed 26 people. Do you feel safe under The Second Amendment? Many people think these mass shootings could have been stopped if the government had never repealed the 1994 assault weapon ban or if we had universal background checks, keeping this ban active could have saved 26 adults and kids from their death. Not only do mass shooting occur

Both Albert Einstein and Ernest Rutherford helped pave the way for countries to invent the nuclear weapon. Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity and Rutherford’s discovery of the atomic nucleus all helped the United States to invent the bomb. In the book by Andrew Futter, the United States began their experimenting on nuclear weapons with the Manhattan Project. The Manhattan Project- so called because the initial headquarters were on the Manhattan district of New York City- began in 1942 with the

Should Legislators Pass a Ban on All Assault Weapons? School shootings, theater shootings, bank robberies. What is the common factor in all of these scenarios? Criminals? Death? Tragedy? Yes, but so are assault weapons. Mass homicides cannot happen without a powerful gun. However, can the public reasonably attribute mass murders to assault weapons? And if these weapons are to blame, then does that mean that we should ban all assault weapons? Bans on weapons in the United States are neither unheard of

continued Weapon of Mass Destruction programs in 2003 resulted, in part from intelligence received by human intelligence sources. The specific cause that led to the initial determination to invade was the belief that Iraq maintained a Weapon of Mass Destruction program at the same time also suggesting that Saddam had links to Terror groups. Additionally, the Iraqi Weapon of Mass Destruction Programs during the 1998 inspection from the United Nations led to the assessment of the weapon systems in

should put forward legislations to eradicate the production and stockpile of nuclear weapons. There are several compelling reasons for why nuclear weapons being no longer needed. One example is nuclear weapons only put up an unnecessary wall between nations as trade grows to more global scales. While legislation would take much negotiation, public support, and time, it would be worth it in the long run. Nuclear weapons have made an infamous impact a negative impact on humanity from their beginning.

In both instances the bombs were dropped by U.S. forces on Japanese soil during WWII in hopes that it would generate fear within the Japanese people, and finally break the government into submission. Since the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, no other nation has employed the use a nuclear weapon against another country, so why is it that the United States
