Nuclear tests

The Film, Half Life: A Parable for the Nuclear Age is written and directed by Dennis OʻRourke. The film was released in 1986 and won the Peace Film Award in Berlin later that year.

OʻRourke, with his unique perspective as an Australian Veteran, has meticulously chosen strategies to display the information to the audience.…

Initially when I took the test I received a tension quotient of 43%. The main reason for my high tension quotient, I believe, was mostly due to the way the questions were worded, and because of that I ended up retaking the test. I forgot to write down the tensions that I had in my first run. In my second run, my tension quotient dropped to 7%, and I had only one tension, which was also present in my first run. The one inconsistency is as follows: “You agreed that: It is always wrong to take…
