Rainbow Warrior Research Paper
The sinking of the Rainbow Warrior was an event that truly began when Greenpeace first formed, almost two decades before the bombing in Auckland
Harbour occured. In the late 1960s, the United States government planned to carry out nuclear testing on Amchitka, an unstable island in Alaska which
had a dangerous fault line and was prone to earthquakes and tsunamis after the serious earthquake in Alaska, 1964. A group known as the 'Don't Make
A Wave' committee formed to protest against the nuclear testing on the island. The committee began to make plans for other campaigns against nuclear
testing elsewhere, as well as establishing their first office in Vancouver, Canada. Many of the members then decided to take the next step with their
committee,... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Although Greenpeace's campaign in the early 1970s had created positive change for the environment and people by forcing the French government
to move their testing underground, it caused serious conflict between France and Greenpeace. This led to France taking action against the
organisation, by planting two bombs on Greenpeace's 'Rainbow Warrior' when it was docked in the Auckland Harbour before its upcoming journey
into the Murorua Atoll in 1985. The bomb was supposedly intended to make a point and end Greenpeace's protests as peacefully as possible, without
harming anyone. However, Fernando Pereira, a photographer on board the boat, was killed by the second bomb's explosion, and the vessel was sunk.
This outcome led to the event being labelled a 'terrorist attack', both on Greenpeace and New Zealand, as it was initially unclear who the attack was
aimed at. The bombing and its disastrous results would alter the relationships between France, Greenpeace and New Zealand

Lyndon B. Johnson 's Foreign Highlights
Lyndon B. Johnson's Foreign Highlights
Lyndon B. Johnson became president in 1963, a time period in which the United States was engaged in two battles on both the domestic and the
international fronts. At home the President was faced with growing Civil Rights issues and abroad he faced some of the greatest challenges of his
political career. Internationally the United States was already undergoing a Cold war with the Soviet Union and the newly adopted policy of
containment had become the answer to all of the rising Communist movements all over the world. In Vietnam a massive Civil War was underway as
the Pro Communist Regime of the North invaded the Pro American Regime of the South. The North, which was led by Ho Chi Minh, was backed by
the Soviet Union, China and other communist allies invaded the South backed by the United States and other anti–communist allies. Minh's army
consisted of North Vietnamese forces and the Viet Cong, a South Vietnamese communist common front aided by the North. NgГ

leader of the South, had forces that consisted of South Vietnamese Soldiers and US Soldiers. Amidst these conflicts Johnson rose and took initiatives

Was Iraq Responsible For The Usa's War In Iraq?
On March 19, 2003 the USA began the military operation in Iraq. The American government suspected Iraq in oppressing the ethnic minorities,
development of the mass–destruction weapons and cooperation with the international terrorist groups. The war did not last long and there are many
reasons to believe that the USA was preparing for this military campaign for long time.
One of the main reasons of the war in Iraq was a long lasting Iraq disarmament crisis. In the 1990s Iraq was suspected in producing the
mass–destruction weapons, including chemical and nuclear weapons. After the Gulf War in 1990, Iraq and international organizations cooperated with
each other, but starting from 1998 the international inspections were no longer allowed in Iraq and Iraq became the opponent of the western countries
including the USA. In response, Iraq Liberation Act was signed into law by President Clinton, and the toppling of Hussein's regime became one of the
key priorities for the American foreign policy.
Secondly, there were multiple allegations that Saddam Hussein communicated with the international terrorist group Al–Qaeda, which was responsible
for the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the USA, and Islamic Jihad group, which is a big threat to the stability in the Middle East. Despite the fact that there

Nuclear Disarmament Persuasive Speech
In April 2009 President Barack Obama made a speech in Prague in which he pledged to work towards achieving worldwide nuclear disarmament. He
called for the banning of nuclear tests and the strengthening of the Nuclear Non–proliferation Treaty and declared that the United States would lead by
example and take considerable steps towards achieving a nuclear weapon free world. This vision of a nuclear weapon free world falls in line with
"Global Zero", an initiative launched in Paris in December 2008 by George Shultz, Henry Kissinger, William Perry, and Sam Nunn campaigns for
complete nuclear disarmament. (Global Zero, 2016)
The speech evoked mixed responses from both advocates and critics alike. It can be argued, that although the President's aspirations are both honorable
and praiseworthy, there are ground realities that make the execution of this plan, as well as wide acceptability of the project rather challenging.
First and foremost, it is important to explore what steps the Obama administration have taken themselves in order to work towards achieving nuclear
disarmament and if these have been substantial.
It has now been seven years since the President gave his speech in Prague. A year after his speech, in April 6 2010, the Obama administration released

The United Kingdom has found itself at a pinnacle point in its impending security needs with regards to its nuclear deterrent. There have been various

to the Trident nuclear weapon system and its replacement (the Successor programme) that is needed to maintain the United Kingdom's nuclear security.

The Trident nuclear deterrent has been the only nuclear weapon system that the United Kingdom has had in operation, since it replaced Polaris which

national security and way of life, which cannot be done by other means".
Each section of Trident has like anything mechanical; a usage span and Trident is expected to last until the middle of the next decade. As the
Successor programme could take around fifteen years, an agreement on the United Kingdom's next move with nuclear security needs to be resolved

Cultural Impact Of The Scientific And Political Effects Of...
Although nuclear weapons have obvious scientific and political effects, cultural effects on society can also be observed. Since the world first saw the
power of nuclear weapons in 1945, their role in culture (in America and across the world) has grown as time went on. Nuclear weapons have bred fear
across the world, and the threat of mutually assured destruction still ominously hangs over us, even today. In popular culture, nuclear weapons remain a
popular theme, and many highly rated films or other forms of media, such as Dr. Strangelove, revolve around nuclear weapons. Post–bomb society has
shown a desire for peace, and the de–nuclearization of countries in possession of nuclear weapons, and culture has reflected this. However, society
has also expressed a desire for nuclear weapons to remain, for fear of other countries' nuclear capabilities. Although both sides have a point, through
mutual understanding and an expressed desire for peace around the world, denuclearization can be a viable option for peace. Since the first atomic
bomb was used on Hiroshima in 1945, various parties have sought to use its power for their own purposes. Most recently, the Kim regime have
harnessed the power of nuclear weapons for the preservation of their control over North Korea. In the past, however, the fear that nukes inspired in

Nuclear Weapons And Nuclear Proliferation
Committee 9
Nuclear Proliferation
Vanuatu
(A)Brief Background of the Topic
1.)What is the historical background of this topic?
Nuclear Proliferation is defined as the rapid spread or increase of nuclear weapons. Nuclear Proliferation has been a conflict worldwide for years. It all
started during the Cold War, when the Soviet Union and the United States competed to obtain more nuclear weapons. As the Cold War continued,
France, Britain, and China all began to develop their own nuclear technology. On July 1, 1968, the Treaty on the Non–Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons
was signed and entered into force in 1970. Under this treaty, a total of 190 parties have agreed to help prevent the spread of nuclear weapons. A few
years later, the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks non–proliferation act (SALT 1) was signed on May 26, 1972 and entered into force on October 3, 1972.
After several years of struggle, the Cold War ended in December 1991.
2.)What nations are directly involved in this issue?
The top "contributors" of nuclear proliferation include countries like the United States and Russia (formerly Soviet Union). These two countries were
the first to obtain and test nuclear weapons. They are responsible for more than 93% of all operational nuclear warheads. United Kingdom, France,
China, India, Pakistan, Israel, and North Korea all created nuclear arsenals to attain these weapons of mass destruction. The United States currently

The Social and Cultural Life of Americans during the Cold War
The threat of nuclear war in the 1950's was real and was one that was on the mind nearly every person in both the United States and the United
Kingdom. After the end of the Second World War the world can be seen to be split into two sides, the East and the West, Communism and Democracy.
After the Second World War the Soviet Union became paranoid with the West as well as the United States become paranoid of the Communist East,
and after the Soviets had made their first nuclear bomb this created massive friction between the NATO alliance and the Soviet Union and the eastern
bloc. Only after the soviet union had obtained the hydrogen bomb and began to stockpile nuclear warheads in the 1950's did the real fear of nuclear

This sense of paranoia that can also be accredited to the culture or nuclear preparedness. Families were advised to build fallout shelters and in
schools children were told to duck and cover in the case of nuclear disaster. This sense that nuclear annihilation could happen at any moment was
well established in American culture. However in Britain the fear on the bomb can be seen as lesser than that of the USA. As Peter Hennessy
expresses in his book Having it so good, Britain in the fifties 'The wider, personal implications of the bomb perhaps burnt their way into the
collective British psyche more slowly than might have been expected'3. Towards the beginning of the nuclear arms race, a lot of information was
not disclosed to the public, such as the amount if casualties caused if the Soviet Union dropped bombs on Britain which was around 1,378,000
people, and the size of the bombs used was around 1.6 megatons of TNT. Although there were some civil defence films that tried to paint a picture of
nuclear war none of them captured the threat of war and many films trivialised it as Spencer R. Weart writes 'the stage was dominated by tales of
mutant tribes and so forth'4 this caused many people to downplay the threat of nuclear war due to the lack of decent portrayal of nuclear war, Weart

general support from the international system. Over the years, security at the international level has faced opposition when it comes to the

Shortly afterwards, there was a comprehensive report that called for a world free of nuclear weapons by the Canberra commission. The abolition of
nuclear weapons was supported by former presidents, military officers, among others (Jurgen, Wolfgang, & Kalinowski., April, 2005). Due to increased
public pressure, the NPT–recognized nuclear powers stopped their programs for nuclear testing. The Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) was
finalized in 1996, but has not been implemented due to the lack of ratification by the necessary states.
From that time onwards, the disarmament conference in Geneva has not had progress. However, there have been discussions about the reduction in
production of materials for nuclear weapons. Since 1998, the disarmament conditions became worse. There have been several nuclear tests by North
Korea, Pakistan, and India, the re–introduction of defense missiles, space weapons, nuclear tactics, the 2001 terrorist attacks and the war on terror.
There was abandonment of the foes for negotiation on disarmament as well as the Anti–Ballistic Missile Treaty (ABMT) agreements to control arms.

Besides being a signatory to the NPT, it is party to the Comprehensive Test–Ban Treaty (CTBT) since 1998, and it takes part in numerous international
coalitions that work on nuclear issues, such as the G7 bloc and the Nuclear Supply Group. Moreover, Canada has firmly supported the elaboration of a
Fissile Material Cut–off Treaty (FMCT) conducive to the prohibition of fissile material for nuclear weapons. It has also sustained the Statement of
Interdiction Principles emanating from the Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI) in 2003. Subsequently to the events of 2006 and 2009 that led to the
adoption of the UNSCR 1718 and 1874, Canada has imposed economic and commercial sanctions on the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
Those sanctions were reinforced after the DPRK's 2016 nuclear test, which Canada's Foreign Affairs minister StГ©phane Dion has condemned, as a

For example, Congress turned down a cabinet–level Department of Urban Affairs and Kennedy's plan for medical care for the elderly. Johnson,
however, later had these passed. Kennedy changed around the United States's national defense policies and increased conventional weapons. He wanted
to prepare for a non–nuclear war and wanted to avoid a nuclear exchange. In his own words, "Now in the thermonuclear age any misjudgements on
either side about the intentions of the other could rain more devastation in several hours than has been wrought in all the wars of human history"
(Kennedy). In October of 1962, nuclear missiles were discovered in Cuba, as supplied by Russia. This, following the April 1961 Bay of Pigs failed
invasion, were a recipe for an apocalypse. Kennedy ordered the US Navy to quarantine Cuba, turning away any ships carrying missiles. "For some
days a handful of men, operating largely in secret, held our destinies in their hands" (Alsop 2). Thankfully, the nuclear war of our nightmares never
came, as Khrushchev ordered all Soviet missiles to be removed from Cuba. This event became known as the Cuban Missile Crisis. In 1961, Kennedy
held a conference with Khrushchev about easing up on military threats against West Berlin, but nothing was solved and the Berlin Wall was built, not

Global Pollution
Global warming may be the most critical and controversial issue the world faces in the twenty–first century. Throughout the years, society has divided
itself into two different groups, there is those of who believe in global warming and those of who do not. Whether people may believe in global
warming or not, pollution has become a very costly environmental problem in terms of human/animals lives and in term of overall destruction dealt to

Out of all this despair comes a ray of hope. Abolition 2050, a global network aiming to eliminate nuclear weapons, hopes for an international treaty
halting proliferation by the new millennium. Already, more than 110 states of the Non–Aligned Movement have called for the elimination of nuclear
weaponry by the next century. Several countries have given up their nuclear arms in hopes of promoting worldwide peace. Activist groups affiliated
with Abolition 2050 are working to make a nuclear–free world. Their success or failure hinges on the involvement of today's youth.
First, young people can aid Abolition 2050's cause by forming "peace clubs" on school campuses. Cynicism is so pervasive in our world today

Nuclear Weapons And The United States
Since the nineteen–forties nuclear weapons have been used to help end, or have caused problems between countries. The dangers of using nuclear
weapons have increased over the many years since they were first used. Either way, the fight over nuclear weapons have become more and more
common because of the new developments in science and technology. The use of nuclear weapons have been used to threaten many different countries

World order are the activities and relationship between the world states, and other significant non–state global actors, that occur within a legal, political

Under the UN Charter, the Security Council has primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security and is argued to have
power to intervene in the most serious issues which disrupt world order.
At the end of the 1990–91 Gulf War, the Security Council passed Resolution 687, which set out the terms that Iraq's leader Suddam Hussein was to
comply with. The resolution required the destruction of all chemical and biological weapons, and ballistic missiles with a range greater than 150

Nuclear Weapons Should Be Carried Out
The definition of a weapon of mass destruction is a chemical, biological or radioactive weapon capable of causing widespread death and destruction
(Farlex).Nuclear weapons are the most destructive weapons the world has ever seen. They get their explosive power from transforming matter into
energy. Nuclear weapons are classified as chemical, biological and radioactive weapons of mass destruction (FBI). Many people have venture in that
their sizable power used during wars could destroy human development as we know it. The nations of the world have long request ways to standstill,

destruction and destroying civilization as we know it and to prevent further damage.
There are two types of nuclear weapons. Fission weapons, also called atomic weapons or atomic bombs, do so through the splitting of the nuclei of
certain isotopes in the elements uranium and plutonium (Fission Device). When a neutron hits the nucleus of a uranium or plutonium atom in a certain
way, the atom splits and releases a large amount of energy and two or three other neutrons. These neutrons then split other atoms, causing an explosive
chain reaction (How Does It Work). The second type ofnuclear weapon is the thermonuclear

The Doomsday Bomb : The End Of Nuclear Weapons And The...
On July 16, 1945, at 5:29 AM, in Alamogordo, New Mexico, the world was irreversibly changed. This was day when scientists working on the
American–created Manhattan Project detonated the first atomic bomb, that used the nuclear fission of plutonium to create a massive explosion.
Less than a month later, the same technology was used to level everything within a mile in the cities of both Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan.
Today, nine nations are in possession of a total of 9,220 nuclear weapons, some of them being thousands of times more powerful the the bomb used
on Hiroshima. Keeping this in mind, it is imperative that all nuclear weapons should eventually be abolished because they threaten to destroy the
world as we know it, they cost an extremely high amount to maintain, and they increase the risk of terrorism. One of the major reasons as to why
all nuclear weapons should be eliminated is due to much they put at risk the world at risk of mass destruction. Just their existence alone puts
everyone on the planet in danger of being completely wiped out. Ever since its creation in 1947, almost every year the Doomsday Clock has been

The ALP has taken a back seat to accommodating new social movements as it seeks to take whatever measures necessary to achieving government.
In response, the Greens have used social movements as a platform for the party's campaigning. The dynamics of election campaigning has evolved
in Australia and has seen the major parties produce less emphasis on traditional ideology (Katz and Mair 2009:762) in their attempts to winning
elections by targeting swing electorates. Therefore, the Greens have emerged as a party of principle in the face of blurring distinctions between the
two major parties who seek to freeze out the minor parties and maintain their electoral dominance. Minor parties have fallen victim to elements of
Cartelization in Australian politics which aims to prevent any challenges to the dominance of the two major parties. Furthermore, the Greens have
garnered support through the belief that the Liberals as well as the ALP have become "indifferent to the desires of ordinary citizens" as policies
become part of 'the state than they are policies of any particular party or coalition' (Katz and Mair 2009:759). The Cartelization of Australian Politics

The police treated the protest as if it was a riot. The police didn't give a reasonable warning, but insisted on beating civilians to death because the

and Ehrhart tackled the police officer to the ground (Ehrhart 166). A man had to help Ehrhart drag the woman to safety after the woman was saved
from being beaten to death. Another event that showed the effects of the anti–war movement well after Ehrhart returned from the war was when
Ehrhart was at another anti–war protest. Ehrhart was explaining to the public why he decided to go against the war. Ehrhart explained that he couldn't
support something so pointless (Ehrhart 177). Ehrhart believed the government had made the people believe that they were trying to stop the vast
spread of communism. Ehrhart believed that the government was lying and that President Nixon wanted to start and win another war (Ehrhart 169).
Ehrhart often expressed his anti–war movement views to his crew mate, Roger. When talking to Roger, Ehrhart explains his theory on why he feels
lied to by the government. Ehrhart explained to Roger that Vietnam is nothing but a way for the United States to express their dominance and control.

Women worked tirelessly to challenge misogyny in education. The formation of 'women's studies' introduced women to disciplines like language,
philosophy, psychology, and history and opened doors for female STEM majors (Encyclopedia). Women campaigned for educational reforms
throughout education careers, and demanded changes in curricula and teaching forces to ensure that women were getting the same education as
men. Some changes include home economics and survival courses not being gendered courses and the same curriculum for physical education
classes. These changes in the education system made sexism in the new generations less common, a significant change from the previous
generation. Women also demanded to be equal in men within the work environment. Domestic labour remained their responsibility in society, and
if women are working they would be given incredibly lower wages than their male counterparts and little to no benefits. In 1951, women and men

casualties came from burning fires that had ignited throughout the cities from the tremendous heat of the blast (3). The pressure of the blast waves

valiant symbol of resistance to communism. Therefore, Reagan ignored President Chun's record of antidemocratic activities (p.113). In Reagan's view,
Chun resembled former President Park in terms of his strong political leadership, anti–Communist commitment, and emphasis on economic
advancement. Also, Reagan administration was satisfied with the consolidation of a stable situation under President Chun (p.116). In addition, two
accidents strengthen the Reagan administration's support to South Korea. First, on October 9, 1983, North Korean attack in the Martyrs' Mausoleum of
Rangoon, Burma, killed 17 South Koreans and four Burmese. Even though President Chun saved his life, South Korea lost many high ranking officials

Western Kentucky University Glasgow
Nuclear Weapon Production Apocalypse
If the production of nuclear weaponry is not diminished, it will cause the end of everything. With the production of nuclear weapons increasing, it will
only be a matter of time until a nuclear war breaks out. When a nuclear weapon is used, it has three killing modes. The first would be the impact, when
the bomb first hits. The second would be the shockwave that extends outward a good deal. Thirdly, the radiation effect would kill several more after that.
How does a nuclear weapon work you might ask? Well there are two ways a nuclear weapon can work. One is nuclear fission and the other is nuclear
fusion. In nuclear fission, the nucleus of an atom is split in two by a neutron. To do this, isotopes will need to be present such as uranium
(uranium–235, uranium–233) or plutonium (plutonium–239) (Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament). An isotope is the same element but with different
numbers. Nuclear fusion is kind of how the sun works. According to Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, two small atoms are fused together to create
one large atoms. This typically requires hydrogen or hydrogen isotopes (deuterium, tritium), to form a larger one (helium isotopes) (Campaign for

1950s by the end of world war в…Ў the united states decided to launch the atomic bomb in Hiroshima, Nagasaki. Joseph Rotblat then devoted his life
on the banning the usage of nuclear weapons and testing. Rotblat does this by joining groups like the pugwash conference on science and world affairs
and also having a part in the Russell–einstein manifesto. Rotblat did this because he did not want his own work to cause mass destruction but to help
create peace.

The Spread Of Nuclear Weapons: An Enduring Debate
Two main theorists of international relations, Kenneth Waltz and Scott Sagan have been debating on the issue of nuclear weapons and the proliferation
of nuclear weapons in the 21st century. In their book The Spread of Nuclear Weapons: An Enduring Debate, they both discuss their various theories,
assumptions and beliefs on nuclear proliferation and nuclear weapons. To examine why states would want to attain/develop anuclear weapon and if
increasing nuclear states is a good or bad thing. In my paper, I will discuss both of their theories and use a case study to illustrate which theory I agree
with and then come up with possible solutions of preventing a nuclear war from occurring.
Kenneth Waltz is a renowned international theorist who has a neorealism view. Waltz believes that nuclear weapons can be seen as a positive thing. In
the book he is associated with the belief that "more may be better." He talks about states creating their own sense of security to ward off internal and ...

Nuclear weapons are like the latest toys for state actors. It's something that everyone wants to have because it shows your strength, wealth and power.
Trying to deter people away from that will be a very difficult task. However, I believe that it is achievable to prevent future states from nuclear
proliferation. I believed that if we get all the nuclear states on board with a campaign for nuclear disbarment policy, it could be achieved. That would
entail involving the U.N and the IAEA and of course major funding to start this campaign. In addition to having a campaign for nuclear disarmament, it
would also be very important to stress how they're other ways to protect ones country other than nuclear weapons. Options, which include other
technologies similar to nuclear weapons without nuclear waste being involved, biological weapons, chemical weapons and the old fashion

Rainbow Warrior Research Paper

  • 1. Rainbow Warrior Research Paper The sinking of the Rainbow Warrior was an event that truly began when Greenpeace first formed, almost two decades before the bombing in Auckland Harbour occured. In the late 1960s, the United States government planned to carry out nuclear testing on Amchitka, an unstable island in Alaska which had a dangerous fault line and was prone to earthquakes and tsunamis after the serious earthquake in Alaska, 1964. A group known as the 'Don't Make A Wave' committee formed to protest against the nuclear testing on the island. The committee began to make plans for other campaigns against nuclear testing elsewhere, as well as establishing their first office in Vancouver, Canada. Many of the members then decided to take the next step with their committee,... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Although Greenpeace's campaign in the early 1970s had created positive change for the environment and people by forcing the French government to move their testing underground, it caused serious conflict between France and Greenpeace. This led to France taking action against the organisation, by planting two bombs on Greenpeace's 'Rainbow Warrior' when it was docked in the Auckland Harbour before its upcoming journey into the Murorua Atoll in 1985. The bomb was supposedly intended to make a point and end Greenpeace's protests as peacefully as possible, without harming anyone. However, Fernando Pereira, a photographer on board the boat, was killed by the second bomb's explosion, and the vessel was sunk. This outcome led to the event being labelled a 'terrorist attack', both on Greenpeace and New Zealand, as it was initially unclear who the attack was aimed at. The bombing and its disastrous results would alter the relationships between France, Greenpeace and New Zealand ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 2. Lyndon B. Johnson 's Foreign Highlights Lyndon B. Johnson's Foreign Highlights Lyndon B. Johnson became president in 1963, a time period in which the United States was engaged in two battles on both the domestic and the international fronts. At home the President was faced with growing Civil Rights issues and abroad he faced some of the greatest challenges of his political career. Internationally the United States was already undergoing a Cold war with the Soviet Union and the newly adopted policy of containment had become the answer to all of the rising Communist movements all over the world. In Vietnam a massive Civil War was underway as the Pro Communist Regime of the North invaded the Pro American Regime of the South. The North, which was led by Ho Chi Minh, was backed by the Soviet Union, China and other communist allies invaded the South backed by the United States and other anti–communist allies. Minh's army consisted of North Vietnamese forces and the Viet Cong, a South Vietnamese communist common front aided by the North. NgГ ґ ДђГ¬nh Diệm, the leader of the South, had forces that consisted of South Vietnamese Soldiers and US Soldiers. Amidst these conflicts Johnson rose and took initiatives that would define American Policy in Vietnam for the rest of his presidency.

  • 3. Was Iraq Responsible For The Usa's War In Iraq? On March 19, 2003 the USA began the military operation in Iraq. The American government suspected Iraq in oppressing the ethnic minorities, development of the mass–destruction weapons and cooperation with the international terrorist groups. The war did not last long and there are many reasons to believe that the USA was preparing for this military campaign for long time. One of the main reasons of the war in Iraq was a long lasting Iraq disarmament crisis. In the 1990s Iraq was suspected in producing the mass–destruction weapons, including chemical and nuclear weapons. After the Gulf War in 1990, Iraq and international organizations cooperated with each other, but starting from 1998 the international inspections were no longer allowed in Iraq and Iraq became the opponent of the western countries including the USA. In response, Iraq Liberation Act was signed into law by President Clinton, and the toppling of Hussein's regime became one of the key priorities for the American foreign policy. Secondly, there were multiple allegations that Saddam Hussein communicated with the international terrorist group Al–Qaeda, which was responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the USA, and Islamic Jihad group, which is a big threat to the stability in the Middle East. Despite the fact that there was not any reliable proof that these ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

  • 4. Nuclear Disarmament Persuasive Speech In April 2009 President Barack Obama made a speech in Prague in which he pledged to work towards achieving worldwide nuclear disarmament. He called for the banning of nuclear tests and the strengthening of the Nuclear Non–proliferation Treaty and declared that the United States would lead by example and take considerable steps towards achieving a nuclear weapon free world. This vision of a nuclear weapon free world falls in line with "Global Zero", an initiative launched in Paris in December 2008 by George Shultz, Henry Kissinger, William Perry, and Sam Nunn campaigns for complete nuclear disarmament. (Global Zero, 2016) The speech evoked mixed responses from both advocates and critics alike. It can be argued, that although the President's aspirations are both honorable and praiseworthy, there are ground realities that make the execution of this plan, as well as wide acceptability of the project rather challenging. First and foremost, it is important to explore what steps the Obama administration have taken themselves in order to work towards achieving nuclear disarmament and if these have been substantial. It has now been seven years since the President gave his speech in Prague. A year after his speech, in April 6 2010, the Obama administration released a Nuclear Posture Review (NPR). The NPR emphasizes on the need to counter nuclear proliferation and terrorism and stresses on keeping other countries from acquiring Nuclear weapons. It also reduces the role of Nuclear ...

  • 5. Is There A Need For A Nuclear Deterrent? Is there a need for a nuclear deterrent? The United Kingdom has found itself at a pinnacle point in its impending security needs with regards to its nuclear deterrent. There have been various debates held by the government, to date, no decision has been made by the Prime Minister and Parliament with regards to nuclear deterrent, in respect to the Trident nuclear weapon system and its replacement (the Successor programme) that is needed to maintain the United Kingdom's nuclear security. It is a responsibility of the Government to provide for the continuous security of the United Kingdom and its citizens, not only in the present day but in the future; but does a nuclear deterrent have a place in the Governments future security plans. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The Trident nuclear deterrent has been the only nuclear weapon system that the United Kingdom has had in operation, since it replaced Polaris which was in force June 1968 to December 1994. The Ministry of Defence state the purpose of the Trident is to "deter the most extreme threats to our national security and way of life, which cannot be done by other means". Each section of Trident has like anything mechanical; a usage span and Trident is expected to last until the middle of the next decade. As the Successor programme could take around fifteen years, an agreement on the United Kingdom's next move with nuclear security needs to be resolved soon as construction, if it is to go ahead, will need to begin shortly. According to the statistics the United Kingdom holds only two hundred and fifteen war heads in total, with only one hundred and fifty of those active. This is a very small amount in comparison to the remaining major powers, but could the United Kingdom survive without a deterrent in place in an age of uncertainty. Is all monies spent so far on our nation's nuclear deterrent wasted if the United Kingdom does not carry it on, is the future expenditure acceptable to maintain our nation's security against a changing world.

  • 6. Cultural Impact Of The Scientific And Political Effects Of... Although nuclear weapons have obvious scientific and political effects, cultural effects on society can also be observed. Since the world first saw the power of nuclear weapons in 1945, their role in culture (in America and across the world) has grown as time went on. Nuclear weapons have bred fear across the world, and the threat of mutually assured destruction still ominously hangs over us, even today. In popular culture, nuclear weapons remain a popular theme, and many highly rated films or other forms of media, such as Dr. Strangelove, revolve around nuclear weapons. Post–bomb society has shown a desire for peace, and the de–nuclearization of countries in possession of nuclear weapons, and culture has reflected this. However, society has also expressed a desire for nuclear weapons to remain, for fear of other countries' nuclear capabilities. Although both sides have a point, through mutual understanding and an expressed desire for peace around the world, denuclearization can be a viable option for peace. Since the first atomic bomb was used on Hiroshima in 1945, various parties have sought to use its power for their own purposes. Most recently, the Kim regime have harnessed the power of nuclear weapons for the preservation of their control over North Korea. In the past, however, the fear that nukes inspired in society was used even by Americans. Most infamously, the "Daisy" ad, created by the Lyndon B. Johnson campaign, which depicted the nuclear consequences of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 7. Nuclear Weapons And Nuclear Proliferation Committee 9 Nuclear Proliferation Vanuatu (A)Brief Background of the Topic 1.)What is the historical background of this topic? Nuclear Proliferation is defined as the rapid spread or increase of nuclear weapons. Nuclear Proliferation has been a conflict worldwide for years. It all started during the Cold War, when the Soviet Union and the United States competed to obtain more nuclear weapons. As the Cold War continued, France, Britain, and China all began to develop their own nuclear technology. On July 1, 1968, the Treaty on the Non–Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons was signed and entered into force in 1970. Under this treaty, a total of 190 parties have agreed to help prevent the spread of nuclear weapons. A few years later, the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks non–proliferation act (SALT 1) was signed on May 26, 1972 and entered into force on October 3, 1972. After several years of struggle, the Cold War ended in December 1991. 2.)What nations are directly involved in this issue? The top "contributors" of nuclear proliferation include countries like the United States and Russia (formerly Soviet Union). These two countries were the first to obtain and test nuclear weapons. They are responsible for more than 93% of all operational nuclear warheads. United Kingdom, France, China, India, Pakistan, Israel, and North Korea all created nuclear arsenals to attain these weapons of mass destruction. The United States currently possesses approximately 7,650 warheads, Russia has ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 8. The Social and Cultural Life of Americans during the Cold War The threat of nuclear war in the 1950's was real and was one that was on the mind nearly every person in both the United States and the United Kingdom. After the end of the Second World War the world can be seen to be split into two sides, the East and the West, Communism and Democracy. After the Second World War the Soviet Union became paranoid with the West as well as the United States become paranoid of the Communist East, and after the Soviets had made their first nuclear bomb this created massive friction between the NATO alliance and the Soviet Union and the eastern bloc. Only after the soviet union had obtained the hydrogen bomb and began to stockpile nuclear warheads in the 1950's did the real fear of nuclear annihilation begin to... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This sense of paranoia that can also be accredited to the culture or nuclear preparedness. Families were advised to build fallout shelters and in schools children were told to duck and cover in the case of nuclear disaster. This sense that nuclear annihilation could happen at any moment was well established in American culture. However in Britain the fear on the bomb can be seen as lesser than that of the USA. As Peter Hennessy expresses in his book Having it so good, Britain in the fifties 'The wider, personal implications of the bomb perhaps burnt their way into the collective British psyche more slowly than might have been expected'3. Towards the beginning of the nuclear arms race, a lot of information was not disclosed to the public, such as the amount if casualties caused if the Soviet Union dropped bombs on Britain which was around 1,378,000 people, and the size of the bombs used was around 1.6 megatons of TNT. Although there were some civil defence films that tried to paint a picture of nuclear war none of them captured the threat of war and many films trivialised it as Spencer R.

The abolition of nuclear weapons was supported by former presidents, military officers, among others (Jurgen, Wolfgang, & Kalinowski., April, 2005). Due to increased public pressure, the NPT–recognized nuclear powers stopped their programs for nuclear testing. The Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) was finalized in 1996, but has not been implemented due to the lack of ratification by the necessary states. From that time onwards, the disarmament conference in Geneva has not had progress. However, there have been discussions about the reduction in production of materials for nuclear weapons. Since 1998, the disarmament conditions became worse.

Now that we can see, as nations, the underlying problem with nuclear weapons, what can we do to ensure this problem doesn't persist? There are many possibilities, but really only one solution.

In his own words, "Now in the thermonuclear age any misjudgements on either side about the intentions of the other could rain more devastation in several hours than has been wrought in all the wars of human history" (Kennedy). In October of 1962, nuclear missiles were discovered in Cuba, as supplied by Russia. This, following the April 1961 Bay of Pigs failed invasion, were a recipe for an apocalypse. Kennedy ordered the US Navy to quarantine Cuba, turning away any ships carrying missiles. "For some days a handful of men, operating largely in secret, held our destinies in their hands" (Alsop 2). Thankfully, the nuclear war of our nightmares never came, as Khrushchev ordered all Soviet missiles to be removed from Cuba. This event became known as the Cuban Missile Crisis. In 1961, Kennedy held a conference with Khrushchev about easing up on military threats against West Berlin, but nothing was solved and the Berlin Wall was built, not to fall till 1989.

The Greens can trace their origins to local party branches across Australia that have merged together to become Australia's the nationally recognised party Greens Party. The Nuclear Disarmament party and the Franklin River campaign bought the Greens onto the national stage and revealed the power of social movements in elevating the Greens into a political force. However, the ALP's failure to present themselves ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The ALP has taken a back seat to accommodating new social movements as it seeks to take whatever measures necessary to achieving government. In response, the Greens have used social movements as a platform for the party's campaigning. The dynamics of election campaigning has evolved in Australia and has seen the major parties produce less emphasis on traditional ideology (Katz and Mair 2009:762) in their attempts to winning elections by targeting swing electorates. Therefore, the Greens have emerged as a party of principle in the face of blurring distinctions between the two major parties who seek to freeze out the minor parties and maintain their electoral dominance. Minor parties have fallen victim to elements of Cartelization in Australian politics which aims to prevent any challenges to the dominance of the two major parties. Furthermore, the Greens have garnered support through the belief that the Liberals as well as the ALP have become "indifferent to the desires of ordinary citizens" as policies become part of 'the state than they are policies of any particular party or coalition' (Katz and Mair 2009:759). The Cartelization of Australian Politics justifies how divisions within the ALP have played a significant role in the origins of the Greens as voters seek to challenge the dominant two–party ...

For instance, Ehrhart begins to realize that the war was a huge mistake on the government's behalf. Ehrhart believed that the government shouldn't have taken part in the Vietnamese war due to the innocent deaths that developed over the years. Many of the soldiers, including Ehrhart, were traumatized by the killings during the war. Ehrhart often questions the events that take place during the war. For example, when Ehrhart witnessed innocent civilians being killed from both Korea and America. In war, Ehrhart, was taking part in some of the killings because of a "kill first and ask questions later" mentality. Reflecting on that mentality is what lead Ehrhart towards the notion...

The police didn't give a reasonable warning, but insisted on beating civilians to death because the police didn't agree with the anti–war members protest. For instance, Ehrhart describes that one woman was being beaten to death by a police officer and Ehrhart tackled the police officer to the ground (Ehrhart 166). A man had to help Ehrhart drag the woman to safety after the woman was saved from being beaten to death. Another event that showed the effects of the anti–war movement well after Ehrhart returned from the war was when Ehrhart was at another anti–war protest. Ehrhart was explaining to the public why he decided to go against the war. Ehrhart explained that he couldn't support something so pointless (Ehrhart 177). Ehrhart believed the government had made the people believe that they were trying to stop the vast spread of communism. Ehrhart believed that the government was lying and that President Nixon wanted to start and win another war (Ehrhart 169). Ehrhart often expressed his anti–war movement views to his crew mate, Roger. When talking to Roger, Ehrhart explains his theory on why he feels lied to by the government. Ehrhart explained to Roger that Vietnam is nothing but a way for the United States to express their dominance and control. For example Ehrhart says, "what we want is freedom to do business on our own terms and as much of the damned pie we can grab" (Ehrhart 181). ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The speech to help promote the peaceful use of the atom was conceived by pragmatism, dedicated to being used in realism, and promoted by the government using an ideal setting. At each stage of the speech and campaign many rhetorical purposes were used, some good, some bad, but both motivated by words and deeds. The speech that Eisenhower's administration developed had three parts. First, despite American protestations to the contrary, Eisenhower 's "Atoms for Peace" speech was, in fact, a carefully crafted piece of Cold War rhetoric. The speech was specifically designed to gain a psychological victory over the Soviet Union. It was part of the American peace offensive launched, in part, as a response to an ongoing Soviet peace offensive. Second, the speech creates one audience on the level of explicit argument, but a much different audience when the implicit arguments are examined. Specifically, the speech is directed to the world at large, particularly those nonaligned nations in the midst of industrialization. It is aimed at that amorphous animal called world opinion. Implicitly, it is addressed to the Soviet Union, partly as warning, partly as a challenge. Third, the language is intentionally structured to invite the world at large to understand "Atoms for Peace" as a step toward nuclear disarmament. In addition to the internal structure, the ...

This may have been one of the reasons for the anti–war movement because the distraught faces of the innocent children brought a feeling of guilt to the American people. However this source is biased and may have been used as propaganda to try and persuade the American people that taking part in the war would result in the loss of many innocent lives. Source C is by Richard Hamer, an American journalist, writing in 1970 about the widespread opposition to the American presence in Vietnam. This is a primary source which explores the difficulties of fighting guerrillas. 'Should you kill of them or none of them?' This suggests the American soldiers weren't killing the people they wanted to. The source is very negative towards U.S involvement in Vietnam and suggests reasons for the anti–war movement.

Mutually Assured Destruction: in Theory and Practice By definition Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) is a doctrine of military strategy in which full–scale use of nuclear weapons by both sides would effectively result in the destruction of both side. It is not a complicated concept. An elementary school child could understand that the two biggest kids in the class don't openly brawl because both would suffer unacceptable damage as well as put third parties in the danger of the crossfire. The concept of MAD is not the complicated part; it is everything else that pertains to it that has baffled policy makers and theorists for generations.

Credited with first use of the phrase "assured destruction", McNamara did much to outline the dilemma that both the United States and the United Soviet Socialist Republic faced. Secretary McNamara proved to be highly influential on the Cold War, such as the Kennedy Administration actions on the Bay of Pigs Operation, (although it ended up backfired on the Administration). He was also a member of the Executive Committee of the National Security Counsel that advised President Kennedy on the Cuban Missile Crisis. He is famous for his Athens and Ann Arbor speeches in Greece and Michigan respectfully, which suggested picking military targets rather than cities, as well as "indivisibility of control" which stressed a united nuclear deterrent against the communist forces. The idea of a change in targets was however dropped when it was realized how difficult it would be to make it an effective strategy. 9 Central to the employment of mutually assured destruction as a military doctrine is a belief that neither side would attack for it would ensure its own death.

The first period of significant feminist activity was the first wave of feminism around 1850–1900, primarily focusing on women's suffrage. It was not until the 1960s that second wave of feminism came to be. This wave of feminism achieved visibility for women in Canada and played a significant role in the liberation of women while contributing to other causes.

Women worked tirelessly to challenge misogyny in education. The formation of 'women's studies' introduced women to disciplines like language, philosophy, psychology, and history and opened doors for female STEM majors (Encyclopedia). Women campaigned for educational reforms throughout education careers, and demanded changes in curricula and teaching forces to ensure that women were getting the same education as men. Some changes include home economics and survival courses not being gendered courses and the same curriculum for physical education classes. These changes in the education system made sexism in the new generations less common, a significant change from the previous generation. Women also demanded to be equal in men within the work environment. Domestic labour remained their responsibility in society, and if women are working they would be given incredibly lower wages than their male counterparts and little to no benefits. In 1951, women and men were able to get equal pay, yet there were no significant changes to the wage gap. Over the years women "condemned the gendered pay gap"(Encyclopedia) as well as other issues such as separation and divorce rights, discrimination in labour codes and restriction on married women. During a divorce, women were not entitled to an equal share of property until 1980, where the "legislation recognized an equal division of property upon separation or divorce" (Heritage). According to UFCW Canada, it was not until 1971 that women in the military were able to keep their jobs when they got married, as the changes to the labour code prohibits sex discrimination.

The bombs' effects from the blast, extreme heat, and radiation left an estimated 140,000 people dead. The bombs created a temporary resolution that lead to another conflict.

During the first minute of the explosion many injuries where caused by the instantaneous penetrating radiation from the nuclear explosion (3). Other casualties came from burning fires that had ignited throughout the cities from the tremendous heat of the blast (3). The pressure of the blast waves created flying debris, collapsed buildings, and forcibly hurled people to their death (3). Undoubtedly those who survived the initial effects of the blast were very lucky. The amount of deaths caused by the blast itself was incomparable to the number of lives lost to the other effects after the initial explosion ("Summary of Damages and Injuries" 3). The inferno created by the bomb wasn't from the explosion itself, but the after effects of fires, collapsed buildings, and flying debris (3). "In Hiroshima fires sprang up simultaneously all over the wide flat central area of the city;" these fires combined to form immense fire storms which continued to destroy anything that had not already been destroyed by the blast. Buildings that had encountered considerable structure damage collapsed and continued to take even more lives (13).

One can demolish a whole city, potentially killing millions, and exposed the natural environment and lives of future generations through its long–term catastrophic effects. According to the UNODA– United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs (2011), "Although nuclear weapons have only been used twice in warfare– in the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945–about 22,000 reportedly remains in our world today and there have been over 2,000 nuclear tests conducted to date." Nuclear weapons have been viewed as a threat to peace by world leaders. There have been debates of whether to let Iran and North Korea acquire nuclear weapons, leaders all around the world along with Liberals believe that it is a threat to peace and should limit the spread whereas neo realist have another belief that nuclear weapon can make the world a peaceful place. Because states would fear to attack each other. For example the Cuban missile crisis in 1962 and cold war– there were only threats and war did not happen because of nuclear deterrence. The Cuban missile crisis has frequently been portrayed as the only time where the world stood in the point of nuclear war between the superpowers. This is an example of how nuclear weapons were used to threaten the rival.

Why President Reagan had a good relationship with President Chun, and what incidents make this relationship stronger? в†’ President Reagan had basic ideas about the danger of appeasement and the evils of communism. He regarded South Korea as a stalwart ally and a valiant symbol of resistance to communism. Therefore, Reagan ignored President Chun's record of antidemocratic activities (p.113). In Reagan's view, Chun resembled former President Park in terms of his strong political leadership, anti–Communist commitment, and emphasis on economic advancement. Also, Reagan administration was satisfied with the consolidation of a stable situation under President Chun (p.116). In addition, two accidents strengthen the Reagan administration's support to South Korea. First, on October 9, 1983, North Korean attack in the Martyrs' Mausoleum of Rangoon, Burma, killed 17 South Koreans and four Burmese. Even though President Chun saved his life, South Korea lost many high ranking officials (p.119).

  • 37. Nuclear Weapon Production Of Nuclear Weapons Essay Nuclear Weapon Production Apocalypse Hunter Honeycutt Western Kentucky University Glasgow Nuclear Weapon Production Apocalypse If the production of nuclear weaponry is not diminished, it will cause the end of everything. With the production of nuclear weapons increasing, it will only be a matter of time until a nuclear war breaks out. When a nuclear weapon is used, it has three killing modes. The first would be the impact, when the bomb first hits. The second would be the shockwave that extends outward a good deal. Thirdly, the radiation effect would kill several more after that. How does a nuclear weapon work you might ask? Well there are two ways a nuclear weapon can work. One is nuclear fission and the other is nuclear fusion. In nuclear fission, the nucleus of an atom is split in two by a neutron. To do this, isotopes will need to be present such as uranium (uranium–235, uranium–233) or plutonium (plutonium–239) (Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament). An isotope is the same element but with different numbers. Nuclear fusion is kind of how the sun works. According to Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, two small atoms are fused together to create one large atoms. This typically requires hydrogen or hydrogen isotopes (deuterium, tritium), to form a larger one (helium isotopes) (Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament).
