Nuclear proliferation

Why are nuclear weapons tolerated given their overwhelming destructive power? This has been justified by the theory of nuclear deterrence. This theory hypothesizes that if a nation armed with nuclear weapons threatens nuclear retaliation, other countries will refrain from initiating a military attack. It began its life after Hiroshima as the threat to destroy cities. During the Cold War, nuclear deterrence preserved the peace between the two great powers by making the resort to a nuclear war…

Analysis: Souza Smith writes about the 2016 Marshall Island’s Nuclear Disarmament case: “It is understandable that courts will be cautious about frivolous litigations. At the same time, they must balance this concern against the international community’s interest in providing access to justice and promoting the peaceful settlement of disputes. This is all the more important at the ICJ given how difficult it is to seize its jurisdiction.” The International Court of Justice (ICJ) cautious…

However, with no dominant threat the nuclear powers such as the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, and China are defensive of their continued use of nuclear weapons as a means to bully in international politics. Since the powers refuse to disarm, it has been the work of smaller nations, as well as citizen groups, who have the most progress towards a nuclear free tomorrow. Many smaller nations are making strides towards disarmament with the extreme example being South Africa who…

The debate of Nuclear Disarmament is a complex and ongoing one. Nuclear Disarmament refers to the act of eliminating nuclear weapons and inevitably becoming a nuclear-weapon-free world. Nuclear Weapons are the most destructive technology ever developed. The question of disarmament has been a topic of global discussion since the end of the first world war, and despite the many committees that have met between 1946 and 1960, no agreement was met on disarmament or on nuclear test bans. The efforts…

The issue of nuclear weapons in contemporary times is a pressing one. The international community has made efforts to sanction and regulate these weapons. However, North Korea, a hostile, secluded country with a growing nuclear arsenal, has resisted many foreign attempts to sanction their nuclear weapons. Unsanctioned nations with large nuclear arsenals pose a threat to the international community. North Korea is one of these unsanctioned countries, so therefore they pose a threat to world peace…

destruction, the development of nuclear energy, and the problem of radioactive pollution in the 20th and 21st centuries. The discovery and invention of the atom bomb define the reconstruction of human warfare within the context of mutual assured destruction. The bombing of Japan by two atom bombs in 1945 on Hiroshima and Nagasaki define the extraneous effects of environmental radioactive pollution and the long-term health ramifications of nuclear power. The advent of harnessing nuclear fission…

Gustavo Oliveira Coutinho, 4º ano Class: 4BTEL Innovate Tesla: the resurgence of Nikola Tesla from oblivion to spotlight Introduction Nikola Tesla is one of the most controversial figures on science. While many judged him simply as a mad scientist, few were able to see how he was ahead of his own time, providing the theoretical and practical foundation to several modern equipments. We, as a society, not only owe Tesla for the AC (alternating current) electric system of supply, but…

this topic “nuclear war” because they are afraid of it actually happening. Which it has before when he fought Hitler and other countries in the world wars. It is possible and it has happened. The reason why I picked this topic is that it was the most interesting thing in today’s news as I watched the news it made me more and more interested in it so I decided to pick it for my big topic. It interested me since it was the big thing in 2017. What will our country do if there is nuclear war? This…

explains that Jon was born in 1929 and was the son of a watchmaker. His father’s plan is to have Jon follow his footsteps until the bombing of Hiroshima happens when Jon is 16. His father decides that instead of his original plan, Jon will study nuclear physics. Later in his story when he does become a physicist, he’s a part of an experiment involving an “intrinsic field subtractor” which uses radiation to ultimately disintegrate objects. One incident leads to another and Jon get’s trapped in…

she has constructed how Americans overlook the shadow of apocalypse. In other words, apocalypse is complete destruction of anything or the world. In general, there are serve issues that remain disregarded. Chernus draws to readers’ attention how nuclear massacre and environmental destruction are actual tribulations. Uniquely, Chernus uses the example of Act 1 and Act 2 from the bible to relate how apocalypse connects through religious perspective and elaborates with Tom Paine’s, “Common Sense”…
