lives can be lost, they also are very expensive , and america is already in a lot of debt and if other countries are more advanced they have the ability to bully the U.S. There are three different types of weapons of mass destruction: chemical , nuclear , and biological. Chemical weapons are normally known as gases which smother the person or cause massive burning. Chemical weapons were used in World War 1. Troops used a gas called mustard gas and chlorine gas (“Organisation”). The chlorine…
for nuclear fallout shelters. The Cold War had many effects on American people. With the nuclear arms race approaching and America not being able to catch up to the Soviet Union, American people began to wonder what was in store for them in the coming future. This time period brought mixed views about what needs to be done to protect the United States from nuclear warfare as well as characteristics of ignorance, unpreparedness, and fear from Americans that lead to the preparedness for nuclear…
worked hands on, it also led to many advancements in other fields of science. The invention of the atomic bomb and its use are they justified, they have definitely left their mark on human history and are here to stay. First off, before a nuclear bomb was ever made a man by the name Leo Szilard theorized that if an…
have used the atomic bomb because it cost so many Japanese lives. The atomic bomb was a weapon that was developed during WWII through the Manhattan Project. This project was started on December 28th, 1942, in fear of the Germans creating their own nuclear weapon. By the time the bomb had been tested and completed, the war between the Allied Powers and the Central Powers was over. Since the war between Japan…
around the world. In the early 1950’ people feared communism and nuclear bombs threats throughout the United States during the Cold War. The threat of invasions in the Cold War era led Americans to seek conformity in politics and in culture. The end of the Second World War brought many changes to American culture; family life changed drastically (traditional family), patriotic consumerism…
advances that are not for the better. Nuclear weapons are being worked on every day. Almost all major government military has access to a nuclear weapon that can destroy their opponent. The consequences of these weapons are bigger than anyone could imagine. Communities ruined, cultures lost, innocent lives taken so fast without even a goodbye. In the story “By the Waters of Babylon”, by Stephen Vincent Benét, it gives a general idea of the risks taken by using nuclear weapons. Humanity can be…

dangerous field. With these examples, nuclear science began to form with rules, and values that are considered mandatory for the scientists, these are also moral and private principles cannot be violated for the progress of science and knowledge.…
people. The cold war negatively affected the U.S.A because funds were pulled from necessary programs and put into building nuclear weapons. The U.S. alone spent a total of 5.5 Trillion dollars on arms during the cold war. The United States has only spent more money on national defense and social security.…
radioactivity. (DeGregorio) This discovery would become the first step in using nuclear energy. Fermi’s work continued and by the age of 37, Fermi was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his "demonstrations of the existence of new radioactive elements produced by neutron irradiation, and for his related discovery of nuclear reactions brought about by slow neutrons". (Fermi Produces) He had become the world’s leading authority on nuclear reactions. After Fermi received the prize in Stockholm…
