Realism: The Sole Propellant behind the U.S Nuclear Policies The three main theoretical thoughts behind today’s international politics are Realism‚ Liberalism‚ and Constructivism. These theories help us in understanding the components that formulate the determinants of international affairs. The three pillars of paradigms are vastly diverse from one another on many different levels. Realism proclaims that international politics is “governed by the objective law with roots in human nature” (Morgenthau

Nuclear energy originates from the splitting of uranium atoms in a process called fission. At the power plant‚ the fission process is used to generate heat for producing steam‚ which is used by a turbine to generate electricity. Nuclear energy usually means the part of the energy of an atomic nucleus‚ which can be released by fusion or fission or radioactive decay. What are the Benefits of Nuclear Energy Nuclear energy is the world’s largest source of emission-free energy. Nuclear power plants

has surrounded uranium mining over the past few decades‚ but has become increasingly volatile in the wake of nuclear accidents like Chernobyl. Likewise‚ the byproduct tailings of uranium mining‚ which often contain 85% of the radioactivity of the original element‚ are being targeted as toxic environmental pollutants (Krockenberger‚ 1998). Communities near uranium production or tailings dumping facilities are becoming aware of the inevitable health dangers that result from uranium mining. The siting

Advantages of Hydropower Hydropower is the only feasible and rational solution in solving the energy crisis in case of Nepal. Hydropower is environment friendly and non polluting system of energy. It has less direct impact on ecology and environment compared to the other energy sources like nuclear power. Moreover‚ water being recurrent in nature’s streams‚ it is a renewable source of energy and causes no strain on non renewable sources of energy like fossil fuels which are not in abundance in

At present we rely on oil for most our energy needs. However‚ oil is a fosil fuel and causes air pollution‚ and it will eventually run out. Nuclear energy is the only practical and clean source of energy for the world. In what extend do you agree or disagree? Energy is the most important issue on the world nowadays. Oil was considered the most polular energy that people have ever known but it causes many serious worries include environment problems and runing out significantly. In several

Science is a great boon to mankind. At the same time it is a big curse also. It is as destructive as constructive. It has given state-of-the-art weapons and warheads in the hands of mankind which cause mass killing and destruction at a far-off place merely at the trigger of a button. Science has produced hydrogen bomb‚ nuclear bombs‚ fighting aircraft‚ nuclear submarine‚ missiles‚ laser bombs‚ etc. These things of warheads are highly destructive. They can wipe this planet of the existence of mankind
