Should Nuclear Weapons Be Allowed In America

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

The first use of nuclear weaponry in warfare occurred on the morning of August 6, 1945 when the United States dropped the atomic bomb known as “Little Boy” on Hiroshima, Japan. The result was devastating, demonstrating the true power of nuclear warfare. Since the incident, the world has been left fearing the possible calamity of another nuclear war. Joseph Siracusa’s Nuclear Weapons: A Very Short Introduction explains aspects of nuclear weaponry from simply what a nuclear weapon is, to the growing fear from nuclear warfare advancements in an age of terrorism. The book furthered my education on nuclear weapons and the effect they place on society, physically and mentally.

Two main theorists of international relations, Kenneth Waltz and Scott Sagan have been debating on the issue of nuclear weapons and the proliferation of nuclear weapons in the 21st century. In their book The Spread of Nuclear Weapons: An Enduring Debate, they both discuss their various theories, assumptions and beliefs on nuclear proliferation and nuclear weapons. To examine why states would want to attain/develop a nuclear weapon and if increasing nuclear states is a good or bad thing. In my paper, I will discuss both of their theories and use a case study to illustrate which theory I agree with and then come up with possible solutions of preventing a nuclear war from occurring.

John Stuart served a three year term as a British parliament. After finishing his term Stuart presented a petition for women’s suffrage (1866). In the book, Stuart acknowledge and challenge that women are unequal to men. Staurt argues that society view woman as the “weaker” sex and men are the “stronger” sex. The author compare women’s subordination to slavery. Domestic role of women are labeled as the slavery to the family. The author illustrates that women are controlled by men and held in bondage. Stuart offer detailed descriptions on the subjection to women. This book will help contribute to my argument that men believe they are superior to women and believe they are the dominate sex. This book is a very valuable source to show that women

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 ‘save’ the lives of American soldiers. Since then, a nuclear arms race was born and it’s becoming more of a concern as time moves forward. Albert Einstein, who was the creator of the nuclear bomb once said “I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.” Countries should not have access to nuclear weapons because it destroys the environment, there is a possibility of a nuclear war that will end in mass destruction of the world, and countries could save both revenue and resources.

Recently in the news there have been numerous articles that are expressing the concern over North Korea's and Iran's nuclear weapon plans and programs. Nuclear weapons should not be used against terrorists or any other nation. The reason I chose the topic nuclear weapons is because Nuclear weapons will shape people's futures everywhere and they will be shaped by the decisions. I will be looking at two articles that talk about Nuclear weapons, one from http://nuclearweaponarchive.org/ and another from www.tsarbomba.org. Both articles are trying to inform the audience and I will evaluate how well they achieve this goal.

A nuclear weapon is “an explosive device whose destructive potential derives from the release of energy that accompanies the splitting or combining of atomic nuclei.” (dictionary.com). There are two types of nuclear explosives. One is fission, and the other is a combination of fission and fusion. Countries having nuclear weapons may cause the proliferation of nuclear weapons in the world. What’s more, it can also result in potential danger if they are taken advantage of by terrorists one day. In my opinion, nuclear weapons are dangerous for human society. No country in the world should have these harmful weapons.

This week’s articles presented a well-balanced discussion on the prospect of nuclear terrorism. Some may say that the threat of a nuclear device being acquired or otherwise constructed for use in a terrorist attack is high and others would dissent and say the probability is low, each offering valid arguments. My assessment is that the seriousness of the current threat is extreme, however the risk is relatively low.

There are many different benefits and drawbacks to each side taken on the matter on what we should do about nuclear weapons in the world. We must measure these benefits and drawbacks to determine which decision is the best for future security of our country.

This reinforces that fact that people usually associate the term “nuclear” with all the major accidents that have happened and also probably nuclear weapons. There are

Nuclear weapons tend to get a bad rap most of the time. Nuclear weapons have been the cause of some of the most catastrophic events in history. However, nuclear weapons have protected the United States throughout many wars fought in the past. There are always horrific aftermaths when it comes to nuclear weapons and it results in terrible affects within the atmosphere, misunderstood country relations, and trust. Nuclear weapons are used as precautions when it comes to war and protecting our country, but nuclear weapons have done more harm to our world than good.

Nuclear weapons are the biggest threat to today's world. Nuclear weapons have been serving as a threat to the enemy nations, which protects the nations with the nuclear war. It can only be used to protect the country, which could possibly destroy the earth, and it still stands as a threat to the earth. So, the best way to get away from the threat is to abolish them worldwide. Which could potentially save us billions of lives and billions of dollars every year; and they could be used in strengthening the education system or try to fix the other loopholes in our society. They could also clear the poverty in small nations. Nuclear weapons are weapons of mass destruction and are capable of turning the beautiful earth into a graveyard in a matter

“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.

Nuclear weapons have made a tremendous impact on the world, resulting in both positive and negative aspects. Ever since the first and only dropping of a nuclear weapon on humanity, which was during World War II, it has been a controversial topic for all of mankind. Nuclear reactors, which can ultimately be guised as a center for developing nuclear weapons, do provide help towards communities with power. They also act as a deterrent between countries. It encourages other countries to “behave.” Although nuclear weapons have devastating power and can be used to threaten or persuade enemy countries, they can be beneficial as well.
