India's Nuclear Weapons
This event is in the news because a country violated a law that the entire world agreed on not doing anymore. India have always wanted to become nuclear, and their wish came true. They accepted their consequences of being nuclear, but they are happy. It's neighboring country Pakistan and India have had two wars, and always competed to be the best, and so far India is winning, because India have about 65 warheads and Pakistan have about 25 warheads. India have also declared they have nuclear capability were as Pakistan have not. India is exceptionally proud of having nuclear power, after conducting their first test in 1976, and then five in the year 1998. India have always wanted to be known for something to do with military and now they have accomplished that goal.<br><br>Proposals have been suggested for this problem, but only two countries have sort of resolved the problem. Japan and America have put sanctions on India. Japan have froze all bank access to India from their banks, but trade is still continuing. America its most dependent country have put money sanctions on India, in which now it will now effect India's economy. India is 14.5 billion dollars in debut. If I could have a chance to resolve this problem, I would let them keep there nuclear power, but would have to lay down some rules on what they can't do and what they can do. I would not allow anymore nuclear test's. I would also make it mandatory that the bombs have to reach a certain requirement.<br><br>India's past prime ministers have been scared of becoming nuclear, but it has been the India's citizens dream to become nuclear, and now there dream has become a reality. In recent news of India, their economy is dropping rapidly, and is making no attempt to rise. There is only one problem with nukes they hold. There nukes, Russia's, China's, Frances all are short range nukes, which go about 5000 miles. The only two countries that it's nukes can mostly reach any were in the world is the United

    Surfrider Foundation

    The earth is currently facing some very serious issues in our environment, global warming, air pollution and the unlimited use of our natural resources, just to name a few. With activist groups on both sides of the isle, it’s hard to decide at times which way to lean. Each side usually appears to have a very valid line of reasoning when it comes to their side of the argument. For example; according to column writer Trevor Brown of the Wyoming News, “an environmental group in the state of Wyoming is considering legal action against a wind farm because they feel that it would devastate local sage grouse and golden eagle populations. They claimed that the wind farm 's location would interfere with habitat of the birds and therefore cause a dramatic decrease in their populations. The advocates for the wind farm say that the farm is at a high enough altitude that it would not interfere with the birds at all. In short, if the courts rule in favor of the Chokecherry Sierra Madre Wind Energy Project, construction will proceed as early as 2013.” (Brown) But what if a group of locals, from Southern California, begin to raise issues regarding the protection of local beaches? In 1984 this is precisely what happened, thus the Surfrider Foundation was created. The Surfrider Foundation is a non-profit environmental organization that began in 1984 when a group of surfers were determined to voice their opinions regarding the protection of their local beaches.…

    The pope quickly organized a meeting to prepare the world for a weapon that would destroy all life on earth. "Pope Innocent II organized the conference in 11391" because of a crossbow. Approximately 800 years from this conference, the Cold War has begun. The potential of mass destruction could occur at any moment. More efforts for mining and technology went toward constructing nuclear weapons. Missiles, such as, the Tomahawk® Cruise Missile and the Trident Fleet Ballistic Missile were the new wave of nuclear weapons, in the 1980 's, used in the Cold War. Safety restrictions and treaties stopped these weapons of mass destruction from causing an Armageddon to happen.…

    A nuclear weapon is a weapon that gets it’s destructive power by turning matter into energy. All nuclear weapons are explosives(usually missiles).They can be transported by missiles, bombs,tank shells,mines, or torpedoes. The most destructive nuclear weapons are far more poweful than any conventional(non nuclear) weapon. A nuclear weapon used in a large city could kill millions of people. A large nuclear war could devastate the Earth’s climate and ability to support life(a.k.a nuclear winter).…

    Iran's Nuclear Program

    “Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds,” (Oppenheimer, 1965, 0:47). So said Julius Robert Oppenheimer, one of the men credited with creating the atomic bomb, when describing the first test detonation of a nuclear weapon on July 16, 1945, at the Alamogordo Bomb Range in New Mexico ( Sublette, 1999), as he quotes the Hindu holy text, the Bhagavad Vita. Nuclear weapons have only been used in warfare twice, both times by the United States during World War I, when the United States dropped the ‘Fat Man’ and ‘Little Boy’ bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August, 1945 (Sublette, 1999). In the 60 intervening years, a number of other nations have since developed nuclear weapons of their own. Because of nuclear proliferation, and the unparalleled destructive power of atomic weapons, nuclear non-proliferation has become an international concern, with the United States leading the charge. The past decade, however, has seen new nations try to enter the ‘nuclear club’ the most recent country being Iran. A nuclear armed Iran poses many concerns to the United States. In this paper, I will discuss the history of Iran’s nuclear program, what steps have been taken to curb the Iranians efforts, and where the two major political parties of the United States stand on the issue.…

    The Manhattan Project was secret military project created in 1942 to produce the first US nuclear weapon. The Manhattan Project basically arrived from the ideals and fears of a Nazi Germany having access to nuclear capabilities during the war, and the threat of them using those nuclear weapons was at an all time high during the reign of Hitler. In order to combat this alarming problem, the United States government/military started a top secret program to help develop the world’s first nuclear weapon. The Manhattan project was directed by US physicist named Robert Oppenheimer and General Leslie R. Groves. The two went on to recruit hundreds of the best engineers, scientists, and mathematicians in the United States. In the same respect dozens…

    The ongoing debate of whether or not nuclear weapons are obsolete or not is a very complex one. Numerous studies have purported that nuclear weapons no longer serve an important strategic purpose for countries such as the United States of America and Great Britain. Clausewitz stated that war and politics were inextricably linked. So the distinction between “political” and “military” viability of nuclear weapons is one without meaning. Essentially this implies that deterrence theory still works, at least between state actors. After all, no nuclear power has ever been attacked by another state, and the same can’t be said about attacks by nuclear powers on non-nuclear states. Although until ‘Global Zero’ (which is the campaign to eliminate nuclear weapons from the earth) has reached their goal, one would find it hard to say for certain that nuclear weapons were strategically obsolete. The fact that deterrence theory has worked so far does not mean it is always going to work. As Robert McNamara said after the Cold War ‘it was luck that prevented the cold war’ not deterrence theory. McNamara carries on to emphasize how ‘rational individuals came “that” close to total destruction of their societies… a hair’s breath away.’ With this statement in mind one must look favorably on the viewpoint that nuclear weapons are not strategically obsolete whilst they are still accessible, because human judgment will always play a part.…

    The types of weapons that this Indian tribe were using were some weapons that I have never seen before. The Mind behind these people are just so great. Weapons that the locals call a “bow and arrow”, basically a curved stick with a very tight string on it, that comes with a big needle like thing called the arrow, and they shoot the arrow with the curved stick and very tight string. Other weapons that they would have used that we would know would be knives and spears. Another weapon that I had never seen before was what they call a hatchet. Basically a very sharp rock, tied to the end of a stick that they use sort of like a club but it is throw…

    It is also a potentially powerful factor in the construction of nuclear bombs. When stable cobalt-59 is used in the making of bombs like these, it becomes the radioactive form cobalt-60 when the weapon detonates. Obliterated in the blast, the cobalt-60 settles down around the area and makes a very high level of radiation for years and years. Bombs of this type are known as "dirty" nuclear bombs.…

    August 6th, 1945, the US drops the first nuclear bomb in combat over the city of Hiroshima, in Japan. This date is a huge part in our history because no weapon of such mass destruction has ever been used in combat like this. Three days later another nuclear bomb is dropped over Nagasaki, as soon as the bomb detonated around 80,000 people died almost instantly showing the sheer power the bomb. A nuclear bomb has never been used in combat since then, but nuclear development has created a lot of tension within the worlds super powers, and that tension is still building up to this day.…

    Since the early days of the Christian Tradition, it has been ever-changing due to the contributions, guidance and influence of significant people or schools of thought. Feminist theologians have greatly influenced the Christian Tradition, as their main goal is to acquire a voice for all women in the religious traditions that they each belong to. (Christian Bible Reference, 2013) Throughout the history of the Christian Tradition, men have constantly been represented as more knowledgeable and deserving of leadership roles in the church. This lack of equality is not seen as at all acceptable by feminist theologians, and is something they continue to work on to achieve an improved church for future generations. In addition to this, the way in which women are represented in the bible, both in a positive and negative light, contradict and do not align with how women in the Christian Tradition today are treated. Finally, the way in which feminist theologians have impacted the day to day life of adherents will be discussed.…

    The ongoing delay for the ratification of civilian nuclear co-operation with the US, presents a murky picture of India. The ideological difference between the Left and the UPA government is becoming more and more strained, keeping in view, of their alliance. A year before India and the US reached a bilateral agreement (though efforts had been on for previous two years) on civilian nuclear co-operation, strictly limiting it to civilian, whereas India’s nuclear weapons and defense strategies would not come under this agreement. But the Hyde Act (Indo-US nuclear co-operation), which is still under controversy does not demarcate the line between “Civilian and Defense” clearly. It requires India to participate in NPT (Non-proliferation Treaty)-apart from allowing IEAE inspections and placing its civilian nuclear projects under UN safeguards (UN dominated by US)- which indirectly restricts India from conducting Nuclear Tests, and if and so India violates this, nuclear co-operation would be terminated. Furthermore there are other conditions as well. On the whole, if seen the whole civilian nuclear co-operation itself is a partial offer from the US and the acceptance of US congress, does not altogether seem very warming or friendly, for they have their own concerns and many of them object to this so-called Indo US nuclear co-operation. The 123 agreement which followed the Hyde Act, supposedly addresses India’s concerns and is said to be in favor of India, though not largely. The 123 agreement recognizes India to reprocess its spent fuels and regarding the nuclear tests and termination, it would not terminate the agreement without mutual talks and taking into account the situation under which nuclear tests are being done. And US would not interfere in India getting nuclear fuel supplies from other countries and also non-interference in India’s strategic programes and interests. How genuine would 123 agreement be, only coming years would tell, if India goes ahead with the…
