Atomic Bomb Realism

Additionally, now the Soviets will not attack nor threaten the United States until it develops an atomic bomb of its own. This creates global peace giving countries an opportunity to rebuild their country’s economies. In short, the atomic bomb was a recipe for peace that was demonstrated on Japan and kept Russia obedient until 1947 (atomicbombmuseum.org). Finally, the destructive power that the atomic bomb possessed meant that the United States would remain uncontested as the world’s greatest power. Just like the president of a country, the United States has dominance of the world. Just like how a country cannot function without a leader, the international market cannot function without a powerhouse. This powerhouse is responsible for many …show more content…
Primarily, the atomic bomb was too destructive. The atomic bomb was composed of fireball (air absorbs heat, swells to a fireball with a fifty-foot radius and a temperature of three hundred thousand degrees Celsius), shockwave and air blast (fifty percent of total energy) and radioactivity [initial radiation and induced radiation] (atomicbombmuseum.org). Of the three the most deadly over time is the radioactivity. The black rain was the product of two hundred different kinds of radioactive isotopes, which rose into the atmosphere, mixed carbon residue and falling as dark water [caused radiation poisoning] (atomicbombmuseum.org). Also, initial radiation damaged exposed living tissue, lethal enough to kill someone on the spot (atomicbombmuseum.org). Additionally, induced radioactivity is when a substance absorbs ionizing radiation and damages people’s health (atomicbombmuseum.org). This radiation alters the structure of an original molecule, alters the ways the molecule reacts chemically, and the function it performs when part of a living organism (atomicbombmuseum.org). No one wants to witness a fellow human being suffer. He/she can be cruel and loathed by all, but it is not fair for him/her to suffer. Japan’s citizens were …show more content…
These are innocent people who did not desire to play an active role in this war (the war was inflicted upon them), and as a result, they must live the remainder of their days in dangerous conditions without loved one(s). Be it the Americans, the Japanese, the French or the Cubans, no one deserves to suffer. No person is better or worse than another; humans are all equal. Now that everyone is aware of the atomic bomb’s devastating effects, it will never be utilized again because human suffering is something one’s morals oppose. Furthermore, there were many serious health implications on the victims. Over ninety percent of the people within five hundred metres of ground zero died in both cities (www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar). Was it better to survive the detonation and live one’s days in a weak psychological state with many diseases or pass on as the
