Nuclear War Speech

Let’s have a PEP talk! The ongoing issue of the importance and relevance of Nuclear War has been around since the end of World War II when the United States unleashed atomic bombs on two Japanese cities. Is this a conversation worth having? What are the chances of this threat becoming a reality here in the United States? In the essay, “Millennials need new movies about nuclear war, a ninth-grader says”, Williams concludes “we need new movies to warn of the nuclear war threat” (par. 3). The key topics I want to exploit are importance and relevance of this nuclear war debate. A good argument should be measured by its ‘likelihood’ and who is its target audience i.e. ‘pertaining to’. This essay resonates with me because I was recently retired
Everyone needs to understand this threat, especially millennials. They are the future, after all” (par 2). This claim alone makes the essay important and relevant to the writer’s target audience (millennials). The future of the country lies in their hands and as much as we may want this to be an issue of the past it still pokes its evil face in the present. Williams also explains how movies play a huge role in today’s culture and how newer movies can have better details and give millennials an enhanced picture of the devastation, confusion, loss, and havoc a nuclear war would wreak upon this country. Williams also briefly states how dystopian movies may be able to persuade millennials showing a realistic but fictional society in ruins and the probability of our society ending in dystopia if this problem is ignored. Might I add? All valid points. These claims all support her initial statement of needing up-to-date movies that will peak millennials interest and ultimately start a dialogue amongst them. Millennials should have a PEP (prevention, expectation, and preparation) talk that includes these three key components. The most important aspect would be to discuss how to prevent nuclear war from happening. However, in the event it does happen we need to know the expectations and deal with the subject of how to prepare for such a catastrophic
Aren’t we tired of reacting?! While giving her evidence in her essay, Williams quoted the president saying, “It’s very effective & left me greatly depressed…My own reaction was one of our having to do all we can to have a deterrent & to see there is never a nuclear war” (par 10). After watching ‘The Day After’, Reagan took into account the destruction and ruins left behind in the aftermath of nuclear war. Also the author gives evidence of the importance and relevance today by stating: “World relationships are still tense. President Donald Trump tends to make some questionable and reactionary decisions based on emotion, as does North Korean leader Kim Jong-un”(par 11). This eye-opening because North Korea recently conducted testing with a sizable missile launch and claims it can reach the entire US
