Essays on Nagasaki

Introduction

One of the largest and most controversial topics pertaining to nationwide and homeland security is the issue concerning nuclear weapons. Being one of the most deadly and effective war tactic known to man, nuclear arsenals have the potential to wipe out a major part, if not all, of humankind and as such they pose a major threat to countries and societies at large. It is interesting—and quite alarming—to note that even though people are majorly aware of the destruction that nuclear weapons have, most of the major countries keep a nuclear arsenal for potential use in military ...

Generally, Free Thought can be attributed to almost all developments and advancements in the world. Ranging from innovations and technological developments to religion and political changes, free thought seems to be the main driver of change. Free thought requires that free thinkers hold their positions regarding truth based on empiricism, logic, and reason. This implies that a free thinker should not be influenced by such things as tradition, authority or revelation. Free thought has developed a society of civilized people and advanced technology leading to the end of ineffective and bureaucratic regimes and religions that brought about differences within ...

The Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings represent the only incidences that nuclear bombs were ever used in the history of humanity. The devastation, death, and destruction that followed resulted to the surrendering of Japan and thus brought the Second World War to an end. Over the years that followed, the magnitude of the impacts of the nuclear bombs resulted in the debate regarding the justification, or lack thereof regarding the bombing of Japan by the United States. Essentially, the United States had no justification in dropping the bombs in Japan. To a great deal, the justification for the bombing of ...

The documentary film White Light/Black Rain: The Destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was produced and directed by Steven Okazaki in 2007. This film is full of drama, because it shows personal stories of the people that survived the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This film is of great importance for understanding the events that took place at the end of the World War II, because it explains the motives of the USA to use the mass destruction weapons and more importantly it shows the devastating consequences of the atomic bombings. Thousands of people were immediately killed, but even ...

I humbly appreciate this opportunity to address this congregation at the 10th Annual Environmental Protection Agency’s meeting [Acknowledge any VIP in the audience]. Warfare is a great deterrent to the attainment of sustainable development. How can the future generation meet their need if the needs of the present generation are not assured? [Pause for a few seconds]. Each time war breaks out between nations, the negative impacts are leveled on the natural resources and consequently, on the environment. [Refer to slide for the main triggers of these wars]. It is interesting to note that war has been an ...

History

The Atomic Bomb Did the US Chose To Drop the Atomic Bomb on Japan Before 1939, it was the acknowledged conviction of researchers that it was hypothetically conceivable to discharge nuclear vitality. In any case, nobody knew any viable strategy, for preventing the use of the bombs. By the 1942, however, people realized that the Germans were researching exhaustively to figure out how to incorporate nuclear vitality to alternate motors of war that they were to use to progress the war against other countries in the world. Nevertheless, the Germans fizzled. The people should be appreciative the Germans were ...

On the 6th of August, 1945, the Enola Gay, a US B-29 bomber released an atomic bomb on the metropolis of Hiroshima and another unnecessary one in Nagasaki on August 9, 1945. The incident resulted in the instantaneous death of 80,000 individuals in Hiroshima, and 40,000 more in Nagasaki after they were vaporized, and more than 100,000 continued to die because of burns resulting from the radiation. The Allied Powers had initially pressured Japan to surrender and had warned that failure to surrender would lead to mass destruction. However, the Allied Powers did not mention the ...

Nuclear Weapons

Development of the nuclear weapon was a phenomenal step for science, but one of the worst inventions in human history. As a weapon that is so deadly it can wipe out entire large populated cities at once, the world lives in concern of all the nations of the world who have nuclear weapons in their possession. It was the United States that developed this bomb and first used them in World War II by dropping them on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. After the use of these weapons by the U.S. other nations began testing them as well, such ...

Already in 1937, the US government was dissatisfied with the actions of the Japanese in Manchuria, as well as with the policy of Germany and Italy.

In the history of the modern world, perhaps the most controversial military decision on record is that of the United States bombing the cities of Japan’s Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The question asked by many revolves around the factors that propelled the American government into using the atomic bombs as the Second World War concluded. To that end, an analysis of the events that led to the August 6 dropping of the first nuclear bomb on Hiroshima in 1945 provides multiple possible explanations. Apparently, a single theory cannot give proper responses on the matter and any ideas that hint ...

Though Japanese attack on American naval base in Pearl Harbor was surprise, there was a set of factors, which could potentially lead to a war between the United States and Japan earlier or later. Both sides had a clear understanding of the processes, therefore each of the nations was preparing to the possible escalation. Propensity towards armed conflict increased significantly after Japanese overrun to Manchuria (a part of Chinese territory) in 1931. During the following years Japan kept on with expansion to China, which led to start of full-scale war between Japan and China (also referred to as Second ...

In the middle of the 20th century, after the World War II, all countries were highly disturbed and scared of a new war which could appear. United States, being a powerful country, the influence and power of which helped to end the WWII, were a kind of an enemy for the other countries, who lost at the war. After World War II United States and its enemies and Soviet Union were in the state of a Cold War. According to John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum “Soldiers of the Soviet Union and the United States did not do ...

Question 1: Rivalries

Mao Zedong, Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping were all leaders in the Chinese government and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Prior to 1949 everyone generally followed Mao’s lead in setting policy. But Liu and Deng began to resist Mao’s ideas and power following the establishment of the People’s Republic of China. Whereas Mao believed that the CCP and government should remain focused on revolutionary agitation, public mobilization, collectivization and leadership appeal to advance the country; Liu and Deng believed that the country’s focus should be less on the personality of the leaders and revolution and ...

Genocides start because of the conflict between people of same race or religion attempting to displace the different race or religion. Conflicting interests between individuals from different race or religion can result to genocides. In the 20th century, over 250 million people have lost their lives due to genocides. Millions of people are left at risk of the exposure due to increased incidences of mass violence. Data and knowledge that indicates the long-term mental health effects that come with the exposure to the genocide remains scattered. Genocides have led to mass violence and displacement of people since it stirs ...

Godzilla is the monstrous dinosaur awakened from his deep slumber in the depths of the sea and started raising havoc in Tokyo, Japan.

Father John Siemes was a Jesuit priest who was living in the Novitiate of the Society of Jesus at Nagatsuka, Japan during the bombing of Hiroshima on August 6, 1943. Amidst the destruction and confusion that the detonation caused the Hiroshima populace, the detonation did not greatly affect a community of Jesuit fathers in a nearby parish. Practically, all the present members in the community, among them Fr. John Siemes, were unscathed. The building that housed the community remained upright despite the fact that the shelling destroyed all the buildings within the vicinity of the city. Fr. Siemes who was aged ...

The argument presented in the “Petition to the president of the United States” is quite successfully crafted and factual. Given the extensive destructive nature and long-term effects of atomic bombs, the president should have practiced extreme restraint in authorizing the usage of atomic bombs. Why would someone use a weapon whose radiation effects are bound to genetically affect successive generations of any survivors? What authority would someone have as to deliberately taint the genes of an entire generation? It is plain inhumane to use atomic bombs on any animal or plant let alone a human being. Scores should always be settled ...

The Second World War is the largest in the history of humanity war unleashed by Nazi Germany, Italy and militaristic Japan. During the war, there were involved 61 countries with a population of 1.7 billion people. Military operations were conducted in 40 states, as well as at marine and ocean theaters. World War II was the most bloody and brutal military conflict in human history and the only one in which the nuclear weapons were used. The dates of the start and end of the war are among the most significant for the entire civilized world (Rees, 2008). ...

Explosives are a rather young industry. Despite the stereotype of it being primarily used for military purposes, it has come to be applied in a variety of fields. It stand to reason that explosives have given belligerent parties a strategic advantage on the battlefield, yet their application is well documented in areas other than the military industrial complex. It is quite difficult to envision the peaceful demolition of decrepit structures that are up for destruction due to the degrading state of the framework. The extractive industry is dependent on explosives inasmuch as mineworkers need their way cleared or portions of rock splintered. ...

Introduction

There are a number of people who believe that nuclear weapons should exist because they are necessary for the safety and maintaining peace in the world. A number of people, on the other hand, believe that nuclear weapons can only destroy the humanity. They are a threat to the world and they should be abolished in order to make a peaceful world. This research paper aims to propose a discussion on nuclear weapons and examines why nuclear weapons ...

Nuclear weapons and safety of the world is one of much debated issues. Different people have different opinions on nuclear weapons. Some argue that nuclear weapons are responsible for mass murders and they are absolutely irrelevant in a civilized world. Several others, on the other hand, argue that nuclear weapons are necessary for the safety of the world. The difference of opinion among people on the issue of nuclear weapons is not new and exists since the making of atom bombs. Even this difference of opinion existed among scientists who invented atom bombs. Scientists used to believe that atom bombs ...

In the succeeding months, an estimated 100,000 died a slow and extremely painful death resulting from radiation exposure ( ...

Gojira is a science fiction movie based on Japanese culture that was produced and directed by Toho and Ishirō Honda respectively (Tsutsui and Michiko 25). With the help of special effects specialist Eiji Tsuburaya, the director, and the producer of this film were able to exemplify the themes and consequently the main objective of this film (Johnston et. Al 12). Apparently, issues that are epitomized in the film predominantly resonate with the subjects related to the post-war experiences the Japanese people underwent particularly after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In addition, this film makes apparent the role of America ...

The time period surrounding the years of World War Two are widely recognized as one of the most violent periods in human history. 1939 to 1945 have been marred as a global conflict that involved most of the world.

Soon after this attack, another major city of Japan was attacked. It was basically the idea of General Leslie Groves, General Farrel and Admiral Purnell to launch two atomic bombs on Japan; the first bomb would demonstrate power and the second would tell the Japanese ...

Obedience to authority goes a long way and has been met with little rebellion or questions. That is how strong Obedience of authority is and even if the act is inhumane or dehumanising, obedience to authority ensures that a majority of people will still carry on with the inhumane act as long as authority orders it. Obedience genuinely refers to the orders that people partake and listen to before carrying them out on a particular assignment. Authority figures are people who give such orders and are seen as people who will either punish or reward, for the orders that are either rebelled ...

Perhaps the most notable effect of World War II is the formation of the United Nations, a body that reins over most of today’s world issues. Initially, the term United Nations was used in 1942 as the World War II raged on. In the month of January 1942, representatives from about 26 nations that were at war gathered in Washington and signed the Atlantic Charter and pledged that their governments would fight together against the Axis. However, major leaders of the Allies nations proposed an international organization that would be based on the equality of all nations with their ...

In the wake of the second world war and with the entry into what would come to be known as the “nuclear age”, the world knew that nothing would be the same in the second half of the 20th century. Arguably, nobody felt the dawn of the nuclear age greater than Japan following the devastation and chaos caused by the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. First-hand accounts of the bombings were frightening; people screaming, fleeing, desperate to find cover, while a blinding light and a sudden blazing heat suddenly filled the air, followed swiftly by an ominous roar, a steady rumble would follow, ...

INTERNATIONAL LAW

In an article titled, ‘The Decision to Use the Atomic Bomb,’ Henry L. Stimson, tries to justify why he and his team of scientists felt the need to drop the atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Stimson, the then Secretary of War, in a race to beat Germany, used the atomic bomb over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. From Stimson’s view, while the use of the bomb was effective in bringing an end to the war, and also justified the huge sum of money and time spent on the ‘Manhattan’ project, it just couldn’t justify using it over ...

The Cold War, started in the year 1947 up until 1991. It is very well documented in books, documentaries, movies and in many other forms.

Out of all these inventions and explorations, atomic bomb was one that had greater impact on the world. The impact of nuclear bomb was strategic, political, economic, social and moral. The first of these events and so far the only instance when the nuclear bomb was experimented took place in the middle of Second World War over Hiroshima and Nagasaki (Langley, 88). It occurred when the atrocities and offensives of Japanese troops and fighters grew beyond the bearable threshold and ...

In James Morrow’s novella Shambling Towards Hiroshima, a man is hired by the US government to put on a rubber monster suit and put on a demonstration in which he destroys a small city, in order to completely end World War II. As his main character says of his intentions for the beast, “I hope to make this magnificent lizard as famous a symbol for the abolition of nuclear weapons as Smokey the Bear has become for the prevention of forest fires” (Morrow 162). This scenario is an obvious homage to the Godzilla films from Japan’s Toho Company in the 1950s – a distinct ...

The Pacific War in History and Memory

Nuclear bombings The atomic bombings of 6th and 9th August 1945 at Hiroshima and Nagasaki remain among the most significant historical events of all time. The event is of special significance to Japan being the only nation that has ever experienced the effects of nuclear destruction in war. As stated by Dower, “The cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are a symbol of the tragic absurdity that war can bring to a nation.” Although Hiroshima’s physical location is in Japan, its experience of the atomic bomb has been transformed into a transnational and international incident that is discussed by all nations. ...

Introduction

The morning of August 6, 1945 an American B-29 bomber «Enola Gay» (crew commander - Colonel Paul Tibbets) dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima atomic bomb («Little Boy»). Three days later, the atomic bomb («Fat Man") was dropped on Nagasaki. Estimates of human losses from attacks are hampered by three factors: the low reliability of the statements in this difficult time for Japan, a large number of victims who died months or years later after bombing, and periodic desire to exaggerate or minimize the loss depending on Japan’s political intentions. It is estimated that 140,000 people ...

Nuclear arms reduction is one of the most important and imperative agenda that agencies like UNO (United Nations Organization) and IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) vie for. Modern and developed countries like UK and US have realized the potential dangers of a nuclear-armed world and have been quite explicit and vociferous in their efforts towards nuclear arms reduction. Nuclear arms reduction as a phenomenon has traversed and travelled a long journey of almost half a decade with partial success. Though a nuclear war is not an imminent danger to the world now, it cannot be ruled out. The main aim of ‘nuclear arms free’ ...

Socio-Political Impact of Nuclear Power

The debate on the usability and safety of nuclear power has returned back to the limelight due to the on-going issue in Japan's Fukushima Nuclear Plant, and the growing number of nations trying to accumulate nuclear power for their national interest.

It is undeniable that today, the United States remains as the most powerful nation in the globe, followed by its allies and partners. Its sway in the international community, as well in regional conflicts is unparalleled due to its capacity to support its words with action. Many would believe that despite the power the US now amasses, the US was once similar with other nations who did not actively sought an active role in the international sphere. The Americans did not see the need for them to influence other conflicts that threatened the balance of power, as well as ...

Towards the end of World War 2, activities in the pacific theater intensified. The Japanese forces were trying all means to counter the strong American forces. However, their efforts went down the drain because the period between January 1944 and August 1945 spelled their doom. The Allied forces hatched a war-ending strategy dubbed operation Olympic. Their aim was to invade Japan, raid their ships and coastal regions and increase aerial attacks on Japanese territories. China was used as the bas for the allied forces where they launched long-range bombers from June 1944. The might of the U.S air force was ...

Total war was the product of modern, industrial society and the tremendous advances in science and technology that were applied to the development of new weapons like the machine gun, the submarine, poison gas, the airplane and the atomic bomb. To be sure, warfare had always been brutal and atrocities were commonplace long before the invention of modern weapons, but in the world wars of the 20th Centuries, all of the industrial, scientific and economic power of advanced societies were applied to warfare, while the distinctions between civilians and soldiers disappeared as cities were carpet bombed out of existence. ...

The war between Japan and USA was not any ordinary war like any other which was mainly based on power and leadership. According to Dower, this conflict was fueled to the heights of the unforgettable Atomic bombing by the US on Japan by o9ther factors other than power and show of military might. The reason said to be behind this is racial discrimination. The difference in race is between the Americans who believe to be whites and Japanese who are believed to be apes and primitive creatures. This racial difference which appeared to exist even before the First World ...
