The Bikinians and Nuclear Savage Movie Reflection
Watching the movie documentation was very overwhelming to see. I wouldn’t imagine how it feels like if I was in there shoes by being kicked out of my own island by the outsiders, the United States. In 1946, one hundred sixty seven inhabitants of Bikini Atoll were evacuated from their own island and forced to settle to the neighboring islands. The United States were intended to use Bikini Atoll as their nuclear testing ground. In the film, it is very heartbroken for me to watch seeing Bikinians packed with their belongings while boarding the ship going to the place that uncertain to them.
I agree on social change, especially if the change is for the best of all humankind. However, I disagree if that change will only …show more content…

Though, this compensation should be fair enough from all the troubles that United State cost just to show the world how powerful and strong they are. United States never lose anything but the Bikinians. Bikinians put up with all the damages that United States did for their island. Bikinians endures lots of pain up to these days. The nuclear testing had stopped, but the effects of it still exist today.
The effects of nuclear blast are also experiencing by the new generation of Bikinians. The people suffered from terminal diseases, miscarriages, and birth defects yet United States ignored it all. Up to this day, the United States haven’t realized the mistake that they did in Bikini Atoll. They still haven’t taken any full responsibility to pay the damages that they once cost. I know that money cannot fix everything. Money couldn’t bring back the lost tradition and culture. Money couldn’t bring back the lives of many people that died from and after the horrific

    During WWII there were many deaths and terrible battles but the worst of all of them was America dropping the Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This tactic of bombing a city was the wrong decision by America, it was completely barbaric and was an act of total war something no country should ever use. The main issues with this decision was that it wasn’t an attack on a military base like Pearl Harbor but it was an attack on a populated city and Japan was prepared to surrender because they knew America and the Allied Powers would win the war. The main argument others have is that the Atomic bomb saved lives by creating a fast end to the war so it wouldn’t be strung out resulting in more deaths on both sides but Japan was prepared to surrender

    Violence might be the Answer It has been precisely seventy-five years since the incident at Pearl Harbor. Japan dropped bombs on the naval base when Marine corporal E.C. Nightingale was aboard a ship. He recounts, “The explosion rips the ship’s sides open like a tin can starting a fire that engulfs the entire ship. Within minutes she sinks to the bottom taking 1,300 lives with her” (EyeWitness to History). The attack only lasted an hour, but the families of 2,340 military personnel and 48 civilians (NPS) were changed forever.

    Many innocent people who were citizens of the United States were unjustly taken away from their lives and put into internment camps for reasons that were illogical. Today, Japanese Internment is viewed as immoral due to America’s improved mindset. Americans have learned that discrimination is unacceptable and that large decisions having to do with the lives of thousands of people must be thought out thoroughly and rationally. Although 1941 was a year of fear and panic, the circumstances should have been overviewed assiduously by America. If each dire situation was thought out like this, occurrences like Japanese Internment would not repeat itself in American or global

    I believe the US only cared about the amount of loss of their soldiers and didn't think about how many innocent lives they were going to kill in Japan. These people shouldn't have to pay the price because their military didn't want to surrender instead the US should've targeted military bases. Studies have shown radiation penetrated deeply into the human body which causes body cells to be injured resulting in cell death or inhibited cell division. The radiation caused many more deaths and created problems to those who lived. After the attack many suffered loss of hair, anemia, bleeding, and loss of white cells.

    In addition, when an atomic bomb explodes, it leaves a long lasting radiation area behind. All bombs previous to this only caused damage when they were exploded. So, though the people of Japan were technically given a warning, many people did not have a voice and were therefore not responsible for the unnecessary and horrific deaths caused by the atomic

    Furthermore, the United States should do more to compensate the families of those impacted by internment because the recompense provided initially was minimal and should be considered an affront to the memory of the victims. Prior to World War II, the 127,000 Japanese-Americans along America’s west coast (Japanese American Relocation and Internment Camps) were considered just another immigrant group coming to America searching for a better life. However, with the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, this perception soon saw a drastic change. The attack on the US Naval base on December 7th, 1941 left many casualties in its wake.
