History of nuclear weapons

Robert Oppenheimer’s life led to the prominence of the person we know as “The Father of the Atomic Bomb”? Perhaps his prominence is best explained through his work on The Manhattan Project. Oppenheimer and his coworkers worked tirelessly to produce a history altering advance in warfare -- known as the atomic bomb, warranting the nickname “The Father of the Atomic Bomb”. Perhaps Oppenheimer’s prominence is a direct reflection of his academic schooling and his intellect. Oppenheimer was accepted…

without industrialization generated by humans, you may see a substantial amount of forests, animals, and overall environmental aesthetic. Over the years humans have advanced in many areas such as industrialization, technological advancement, and nuclear weaponry. These developments were made to benefit humans, but the advancement jeopardizes the conservation of nature and the well being of the animals that roamed the earth long before us humans. The goal behind conservation is the preservation…

It seems every day there is a new headline in the news involving cyber warfare. Across the globe governments and their citizens are being affected by cyber warfare more than ever before. From the Ukraine to America’s very own elections anyone plugged into the internet is impacted by this new and mysterious form of attack. However, it seems to have become overshadowed by the recent presidential election and other major headlines and shoved into the back of the general public’s minds. This issue…

a new interpretation of this Christian event. We will attempt to define the how the apocalypse has been reinterpreted, as well as, how violence from God does not necessarily predict an oncoming apocalypse. With the creation and deployment of nuclear weapons, society has gained the ability to physically view the destructive apocalyptic potential that humanity can…

offensive against him, and they subsequently embarked on a campaign of vilification, with Hussein as their primary target. Mass media acted on the government’s bidding with stories surrounding Hussein’s sponsoring of the attack, his amassment of nuclear weaponry, and also his alliance with Al-Qaeda, in an attempt to capitalize on the sadness and anger of a post-9/11 America. Moyers notes that during that turbulent time, where feelings of solidarity surged throughout the country, most people…

In ‘Barefoot Gen ', there are two images that really got my attention. The first was when the atomic bomb was being dropped on Hiroshima. We see the bomb moving downwards from the sky with a parachute attached to it. Behind it in the background is the city of Hiroshima. We also see four vertical canals from this top image of the city, and the bomb is heading towards the intersection of the third and the fourth canals. The way the bomb was slowly approaching the ground made me very nervous…

People built bomb shelters, stock piled canned goods so they could have something to live off of, and they had gas masks even for babies. Today we don’t do things like that because there really isn’t anything that could save us, from the new threat of nuclear war. Another big difference is what I was talking about earlier the attack on our home ground is more apparent. The smaller attacks are more wide spread throughout the country.

Kyushu and Honshu. “ The Navy Department estimated that the total losses to America would be between 1.7 and 4 million with 400,000 to 800,000 deaths....The same department estimated that there would be up to 10 million Japanese casualties.” [The History Learning Site, 19 May 2015]. As the US had experienced in the Pacific war, an invasion of Japan would result in high amounts of casualties on the Allied side due to the Japanese mind set of fighting to the death. If this operation had gone under…

The New York Times finishes an update on Saturday’s bombing in New York by quoting an unnamed official, “We don’t understand the target or the significance of it,” the police official said. “It’s by a pile of Dumpsters on a random sidewalk.” It’s a valid question - why here? So often we’ve seen terrorist attacks (and this is a terrorist attack) take on symbolic importance: two of the largest buildings in New York, a concert, a football game, an airport. We understand the choice of target and…
