On August 6‚ 1945 the United States dropped the first atomic bomb ever on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. They also dropped a second bomb three days later‚which eventually ended World War ll. Was it the right thing to do? It created many controversial dilemmas on whether it was right or not. There are many people who oppose the use of the atomic bombs; though there are some that believe it was a necessity in ending the war. I think that there could have been other ways to end World War ll.

Social scientists have noticed that the concept of the family has changed in the past 40 years‚ and this has led some to comment on the ’disintegration of the nuclear family’. Do you agree with the claim that the nuclear family unit is breaking down? The conventional nuclear family model‚ Murdock first spoke of‚ which entails the father as the employed bread winner and the wife as the stay at home housewife and mother looking after their children. This early idealistic model of the stable family

for the Atomic Bomb In Paul Russell’s passage from Thank God for the Atomic Bomb‚ he describes how the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were fully necessary. Russell agrees with President Truman’s decision to drop the atomic bombs because of the logical reasons. He gives examples that compare to the overall effect to America‚ and the positive things that happen to America such as the fact that the war would be over. I agree with Fussell’s opinion because the atomic bomb solved many problems

THE NEGATIVE PHYSICAL EFFECTS OF NUCLEAR RADIATION Page 1 Abstract Nuclear radiation has been a major problem since 1941 when the Second World War began. A major contribution to World War Two is the nuclear bomb‚ also known as the Atom bomb. Once the two bombs were dropped‚ the usually terminal Leukemia was derived throughout Japan. There are three types of radiation‚ Alpha‚ Beta‚ and Gamma radiation. In my study of radiation I discovered that radiation can damage many cells in your body

Thousands were left heavily injured and sick. The United States had many different reasons to be justified to have dropped the bomb. Nevertheless‚ the bomb was ‘a weapon of mass description‚ a weapon of terror’. The United States explain that the bombing was justified as the Japanese

Nuclear power uses unstable elements like uranium. Uranium is constantly going through a process called nuclear decay‚ which means the atom is splitting apart over a period of time‚ measured in half-lives. This is why it is the element of choice for nuclear power plants. Uranium is special because it can go through what is called induced fission. Induced fission is when a free neutron is fired at an atom (like uranium). The atom will absorb the neutron‚ and immediately becomes unstable and splits

consist of protons and neutrons‚ which have a positive or negative charge. Electric forces are repulsive between similar charges‚ so there must be a force much stronger than electromagnetism keeping them together. This force is called the Strong Nuclear Force‚ and it is about a hundred times stronger than the electromagnetic force. Its strength allows it to hold a nucleus together‚ despite the desire of the electromagnetic force to thrust it apart. Despite its relative strength‚ the strong force
