In 2002 it was revealed that Iran had been conducting nuclear experiments in secret facilities where it was found to be enriching uranium and producing heavy water, both associated with the production of nuclear weapons. Soon after this was revealed Iran stopped it’s secret nuclear research, however in 2006 it restarted it’s enrichment processes which peaked in 2010 at which point it was producing 20% enriched fuel. This alarmed the members of the UN security council who had previously instructed Iran to stop it’s enrichment processes, as it mean Iran could potentially have weapons grade uranium within a year.

By the time of the Industrial Revolution, people used water energy, heat energy and nuclear power. Using nuclear power has spread to most countries in the world because scientists are looking at it as a real renewable source for energy. Nuclear power is the power that is produced by controlling the reaction of separating the element such as Uranium. However, when it was used to make weapons such as nuclear bombs some of its negative effects appeared after the Second World War. Also when the Chernobyl Reactor accident happened, the reactor was destroyed and a cloud of radiation spread to a huge area in Europe.
When opened fully by Lilly in the last few scenes, we see that whatever was in the box is nuclear and has the power to cause a lot of damage. We don’t really see the full extent of the damage caused but when released it really would have added to the “paranoia” surrounding nuclear weapons and it creates a sense of fear, horror for not only the characters but the viewer too.
On September 9, 1945, Admiral William F. Halsey, commander of the Third Fleet, was publicly quoted as stating that the atomic bomb was used because the scientists had a “toy and they wanted to try it out…” He further stated that “the first atomic bomb was an unnecessary experiment” and that it was“a mistake to ever drop it.” By all the evidence and information we have above, it shows us that to end the WWII is not really the reason for U.S. to drop that bombs on Japan. The evidence above had also said Japan already was prepared and ready to surrender. The bombs are totally unnecessary. Those evidence make dropped bombs be not
The majority of the social media users are non-scientists. However, one key issue of communicating scientific concepts to the public is that they are usually delivered in the form too professional for the public to understand and enjoy. Therefore, communicating sciences to these audiences requires a strategy that is clear and easy to understand. To raise the public’s awareness and interests, scientists and research enterprises could communicate scientific findings in a theorem-proof fashion to convince the audiences in the very beginning that researches presented in the media are important, valid and relevant to them. Audiences may be across a diverse range of ages, genders and even cultures.
One of the most common, but not always the most obvious ways that the minds of people are manipulated is through propaganda techniques. Despite the fact that some may think they know all the facts regarding propaganda, the majority of what people see is only the tip of the iceberg. In an essay written by Donna Woolfolk Cross, propaganda is defined as a means of persuasion. According to Cross’s essay, “propaganda pervades our daily lives, helping to shape our attitudes on a thousand subjects” (“Propaganda: How Not to Be Bamboozled” 209). Often time propaganda is in almost every aspect of our lives.
It has also endangered the humanity and international peace through creating weapons, bombs and other destructive machines. Thee weapon have already destroyed many counties around the world. This paper tries to point out this issue in order to allow people know more facts about the advantages and disadvantages of technology in the modern life. It is worthy noted that many scientists
The main purpose of technology was to make our life more comfortable, secure and happy, but we diverge from the purpose and made such things which have more harm than benefits. It is the technology which made guns, bullets and especially nuclear weapons like atomic bombs and missiles. On August 1945, during the final stage of Second World War America dropped two atomic bombs, first on Hiroshima on August 6, other on Nagasaki on August 9. It was the first time in warfare history someone use nuclear weapons which killed at least 129000 people (Wald). The mobile phones computers and all the electronic devices are the examples of technology.
