There are many problems in the world as many know, but the circumstances and severity are not always completely acknowledged. Not everyone in this generation is invested in the world surrounding them, and it is truly concerning. To some, conflicts are not considered entirely until they are present where they are. Specifically, this generation’s main concern revolves around terrorism, as its presence has been endured frequently throughout this generation. However, one of the more longstanding threats which were used over the course of history are nuclear bombs. The concern for nuclear bombs has not been at the front of people’s minds in this generation, and it is just one circumstance that people should be aware of. In the article “Iran deal …show more content…
Iran has posed a prominent threat against the United States for decades, and after their long strenuous ordeal, a controversial, yet tolerable agreement has been committed. To many, this compromise is anything but beneficial given its short timeframe, but others are greatly relieved with such an agreement altogether. This article is truly eye opening and personally helped me form a better perspective of an important ordeal in the world. Given the seriousness of the issue at hand, it is a read that keeps the reader informed and engrossed throughout every line. The author effectively connected emotionally to the audience, used diction, and listed many facts, that each were incorporated throughout the article in order to enhance the article’s persuasive …show more content…
At the start of the article, the author was very straight-forward and asserted the concerns at hand. The author does not hold back the truth and directly declared Iran’s dangers to show how much of a threat Iran poses. To reveal Iran’s power the author simulates fear from the audience especially in the quote that states, “One of the most pressing foreign policy challenges facing the world: concerns that Iran could be building a nuclear bomb.” As the author was so straight-forward as he revealed the downright possibility of a catastrophic bomb, it initiates fear in any reader’s mind. Also, because this line was used only in the second sentence, it was effective in asserting a deep rooted problem at hand, and was also quite intimidating. As the author revealed that this threat of a nuclear bomb is only a possibility, the uncertainty of Iran’s true intentions also spawns an unease. Any kind of threat as this is alarming even if its authenticity is invalid, especially when it is revealed in such a forthright manner. It is truly frightening that something as powerful as a nuclear bomb, could potentially obliterate a large fraction of some place in the world. The author also incorporated different facts of the deal that were added to entice the audience. Later on in the article the author states, “Nonetheless this deal is better than the
The article, written by David Sanger and Michael Gordon from The New York Times on August 23, highlights main controversies about Iran-US nuclear agreement. After months of negotiations between USA and Iran, the deal is waiting to be approved by Congress. However, there are many points of debate regarding the approval of this pact. The main point of polemic is the capacity of Iran to produce nuclear weapons after 15 years, when the agreement is supposed to end. Many people, like the Democrat Representative Adam B. Schiff from California, agree Iran would “have a highly modern and internationally legitimized enrichment capability” (Gordon & Sanger, 2015). Others argue in favor of the agreement because, as R. Nicholas Burns, undersecretary of
In the article Argument Supporting the Bomb, by Michael Barnes, the general thesis was that the atomic bomb was necessary. Throughout the article there are many propaganda techniques used to convince the reader. For example, techniques like transferring the blame, lesser of the two evils, and card stacking are used throughout the article. For instance, in the article the author uses the fact that the Japanese attacked the United States first: “the back-stabbing” aspect of the “surprise” attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941”. The transfer technique is used here to distract the reader, and make them think about Pearl Harbour. As a result the reader overlooks the fact that the atomic bomb killed more than a hundred thousand citizens. Not
n this paper I will be investigating if nuclear weapons become considered to use more after the terrorist attacks of 9/11. I will be discussing if President Bush’s speeches before 9/11 about nuclear weapons changes after the attacks of 9/11 and then I will analyze those speeches to see if his rhetoric changes before and after the attacks. In this essay I want to analyze the rhetoric from the presidents to show the trend that nuclear weapons are becoming more talked and that they are trying to not be used more because of the terrorists attacks especially from 9/11.
Daisaku Ikeda, a spiritual leader for Japan once commented, ‘Japan learned from the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that tragedy wrought by nuclear weapons must never be repeated and that humanity and nuclear weapons cannot coexist.’ The world has experienced the bombings of Japan, of Pearl Harbor and the conflict of the Cold War, but even with these conflicts present in our history, warning us of the effects, these meaning have not carried through into society today. Currently in the Middle East, we are witnessing the elements of a modern day cold war starting to appear. Israel and Iran have been in arguments and disagreements about nuclear weaponry since 2012. Their different religious view and ideologies has flourished into more than a religious tension but that of a modern day cold way.
On August 6, 1945, American bombers dropped the Atomic Bomb over Japan, an event which had lasting effects on American history. Had the bomb not been dropped, there would have been an increased number of negative effects on various countries involved in World War II. The Atomic Bomb was beneficial to America, despite its controversies and negative effects. President Harry S. Truman made the correct decision to drop the Atomic bomb over Japan, because it saved thousands of lives, ended the war quickly, and deterred Stalin from future agression toward America (Tucker, 1). Dropping the Atomic Bomb saved thousands of American and Japanese lives.
Fellow citizens of the United States I have come to the conclusion that we will be dropping the bomb on Japan. After long nights of deciding what action must be taken to end World War 2 I’ve come to realize that the lives of our country are in my hand. The Japanese military command has rejected the request for unconditional surrender. So we must take action into our own matters. In order to Prevents American citizens from losing their lives; we shall destroy their docks, their factories, and their communications. Let there be no mistake; we shall completely destroy Japan's power to make war. Plus let me inform you all Germans are working hard to find a way to add atomic energy to the other engines of war with which they hoped to enslave the world. I will not risk the fact that they could bomb us first. It’s crucial for us to drop this bomb in order to make Germany lose all their resources to develop an atomic bomb and use it against us.
Many Japanese and American soldiers died during a period in WW2 from 1939-145. It all started when the Japanese attacked American soldiers on the piers of Pearl Harbor. Not only did this wipe out many of the American troops, but it also was a turning point in the war. This led America into World War 2. The Americans won the battle of Midway, which was the largest and most crucial naval battle.
As you are all too aware, the United States and its Allies have faced troubles in the Middle East for many decades. Much of this is due to well-funded and well-protected terrorists operating in the region under the protective umbrella of participating countries, including Iran. Understandably, the thought of a nuclear capable Iran is terrifying to many of you. I wish to propose a different option than the current economic sanctions that have been taking place, one in which Iran becomes both more powerful and aligns it’s views with that of the United States.
On August 6, 1945, 80,000 people died within seconds. On August 9, 1945, another 40,000 people died within the blink of an eye. It is said that after the sudden flash of light that was brighter than the sun, their shadows were literally burned into the sidewalks, buildings and streets they were roaming. Tens of thousands of the remaining survivors would later parish due to radiation exposure. What might've caused so many deaths, you may ask? Two life threatening weapons composed of half a dime's weight of nuclear fission uranium 235 and plutonium, better known as "Little Boy" and "Fat Man." These were the first atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan by the United States of America.
American forces dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 and the second on Nagasaki three days later. I believe Truman was justified in this decision, as it aided in the surrender of Japanese forces with the lowest cost to human lives thus ending World War II.
The Iranian nuclear project has been certain since its inception with the new regime, and Iran has one specific objective to achieve, it is to produce a nuclear bomb. Iran 's leadership has fully convinced that the quest to build Iran as the leader at the regional level will not be achieved without having a military nuclear capability. Iran is considered to have a nuclear weapon is very important in Iranian strategy based on the adoption of the fierce policy of intervention in the affairs of the regional countries and expanding the circle of influence. The Shah 's dream before his fall is the same as the dream of velayat-e faqih at the current time, which the Iranian regime coveted in controlling over the most of the countries of the region. As a part of the Iranian strategy is launching public threats which confirms Iran 's diverse capabilities and potential to inflict great damages in any of the countries in the region that dare to threaten or challenge its interests. Iran used the media as an element of national power by continuous launching news of achieving big successes in the development of weapons and military equipment and the growth of military capabilities that will be used to punish enemies To spread fear and terror in the region. It turned out the Iranian regime continues to pursue an expansionist policy in the region after the completion of the nuclear agreement, Iran caused in escalating the

Ever since nuclear weapons were invented, the world has been strict about their usage and manufacturing. USA, having the most number of operational nuclear warheads (Macais) has been most vocal about who should can manufacture and store nuclear weapons. But one should not forget that there has only been one recorded incident of nuclear weapons being used in combat and that was when USA dropped 2 of its nuclear bombs on Japan, one in Nagasaki and one in Hiroshima.
This paper will show that the US and its allies should take a more Hard Power approach when it comes to nuclear program of Iran. The paper will show how Iran cannot be trusted, due to its history of braking its word, and how the deals that we have made so far shows that the world is giving them the ability to create nuclear weapons. Also I will show how the resent agreements mad heave not done enough to stop Iran from gaining nuclear weapons.
Due to the severity and danger of nuclear weapons, it is very important for nations to have some sort of regulation with regard to the nuclear program and more specifically their nuclear weapons program. After the first nuclear bomb was created by the U.S. nations states that followed the U.S. with the creation of a nuclear bomb seek to justify their creation of the nuclear. There are many reasons why a nation state will create a nuclear bomb but the key issue here is why and how nations states should be regulated with regard to nuclear weapons development. If Iran is considered a potentially hostile regime based on the perspective of western allies it would be logical to attempt to negotiate with them so that their nuclear program can have some type of regulation rather than no regulation at all or striving to strong arm them from developing their nuclear program and possibly a nuclear weapons program.
