Nuclear energy… Boon or Bane ? Nuclear energy? Nowadays these two words are always sticking on the society’s mouth‚ but do they know the actual meaning of it? Nuclear energy is basically defined as the energy released by the reaction within the nuclei‚ as in nuclear fission or fusion. The core reason of using nuclear energy is to generate electric power to satisfy human needs. Usage of the nuclear power plant as an energy generator came together with several boons and banes.

Indonesia is set to lead the way‚ followed by Vietnam‚ Thailand‚ and potentially the Philippines and Malaysia. But nuclear power development in the region faces questions about its economics and safety‚ as well as nuclear weapons non-proliferation. A key issue is whether countries will embark on sensitive segments of the fuel cycle. Approaches

Violent video games Many people believe that violent video games should be banned‚ claiming that they have a negative effect on people. Some even say violent games make people commit violent acts. These games do influence human behavior‚ which is not always positive‚ but this does not mean that they should be banned. If a child began playing violent video games at a young age‚ then he might think that violence in real life is the same as the game violence and that it does not have a real impact

Nuclear Energy 1. What is nuclear energy? Text Book Pg 80 2. Nuclear Fission :- In nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry‚ nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction in which the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts (lighter nuclei)‚ often producing free neutrons and photons (in the form of gamma rays)‚ and releasing a tremendous amount of energy. The two nuclei produced are most often of comparable size‚ typically with a mass ratio around 3:2 for common fissile isotopes.[1][2].The smallest

Cell Phones shouldn’t be aloud in schools because of all the bullying and harassment that goes on in the classroom. They could use their cellular devices for cheating on worksheets‚ quizzes‚ and tests. Students can take pictures of other students without their permission and post them on social media accounts like Snapchat‚ Facebook‚ Instagram‚ Twitter‚ YouTube‚ etc. But Cell Phones should be aloud in school because they can take their homework home and be able to find their assignments easier.

In today’s society‚ a person tends to discriminate against someone who may seem different due to their own narrow-minded concepts that had developed through their life. They say that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover‚ yet everyday people are judged by their race‚ by what they wear‚ and by the color of their skin. My race shouldn’t play a role of segregation instead it should bring us all together. What I wear shouldn’t be a shame‚ instead it should be a crown of pride. The mass of myelin in

Instead of enforcing a ban‚ teach them how to use their mobile phone in society. That way‚ when they get out of school‚ they will be more aware of the people around them when they make or receive phone calls. I bet they will behave better than 75% of the adults with cell phones out there. New technologies are a part of our lives‚ and responsible use should be learned in school. Cell phones should be allowed if the first number in their contact
