The two bombs, Little Boy and Fat Man, were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki respectively (“Avalon Project”). These bombs powered by nuclear fission caused destruction on a scale that had never been seen before. The bombs developed during the Manhattan Project were created in order to end the fighting of World War II. The bombs served their purpose as, after they were dropped on both Nagasaki and Hiroshima, the Japanese soon surrendered, ending the war on the Pacific Front. However, even though…

moral issues arose when people realized how poorly this operation was carried out. After the bombing, many people involved in the bombing of Hiroshima talked about what happened with the project, one of which was General Groves, director of the Manhattan Project, and he made many statements that showed exactly how poorly the situation was handled and the little planning that went into this project. He admitted that "There…

In this project we constructed an apparatus that would allow an egg to descend from a two story window without breaking. The egg ended up cracking on impact due to our miscalculations. We could have prevented this by studying Newton's Three Laws of Motion and conservation of energy before we attempted the drop. We created our apparatus by inserting an egg into two cups connected together. We included steel wool and cotton in the two cup to absorb some of the impact. Secondly, we wrapped the two…

soldiers were brutally killed in an instant by two American-made atomic bombs. Years of horrendous fallout would then follow in the wake of two of the worst man-made disasters of all time. This was the work of the many people who contributed to the Manhattan Project, which Julius Oppenheimer was chiefly involved. As the director of the Los Alamos Laboratory in New Mexico, Julius was instrumental in the development of the world’s first weapon of mass destruction. What would cause this man to…

Cat’s Cradle begins with a call to action, a statement that the readers should “Call me Jonah… [as] my parents did, or nearly did. They called me John” (Vonnegut 11). The novel accounts the actions of John as he works to write his novel, “The Day the World Ended” -- a novel that he never finishes -- which “was to be an account of what important Americans had done on the day when the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan” (Vonnegut 11). John also introduces a new, fictional religion…

Discursive essay on whether the dropping of the atomic bomb was entirely justifiable The argument to whether the dropping of the atomic bomb was entirely justifiable has been quite controversial. This is due to the cause that it had negative influences on Japan however America was trying to defend their country as it has been stated that Japan most likely would not have surrendered. Though, the Japanese did suffer with casualties of their civilians and soldiers. The Americans had reasons to…

People are trying to play God and it is bringing an end to mankind. In Robert Peltier’s article, he makes a few points that I agree with. Peltier is explaining how people are trying to play God, but it never seems to work: “We continue to create without regard to what we are creating, without regard to either moral or practical implications (beyond the basic profit motive).” (Robert Peltier). This quote is saying that humans are creating all these new types of technology to try and better the…
