Everyone has their own perspective about atomic energy and it's use. Some agree and some disagree.

Most disagree with the use of atomic energy:
  • Environmentalist say that it's radiation and use causes pollution and is horrible for the environment. 
  • Japan's government has stated that they will never use nuclear weapons ever again
  • Victims of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings are against it and only wish for peace 
  • Some outsiders believe that nuclear war is wrong and kills many civilians 

But others agree with the use of atomic energy:
  • Almost all countries possess nuclear power, use it as an energy source and for warfare
  • Many countries decided to use atomic energy such as   Bangladesh, Egypt, Jordan, Nigeria, Poland, Turkey and Vietnam
  • Some outsiders say that nuclear war is a good thing as it ended World War II and led to Independence

It is important for us to promote the safe use of nuclear technologies, when we use nuclear power we put our health and environment at risk of radiation and a variety of health problems.
 
Nuclear war is a huge problem as it affects citizens and the entire world, lives are threatened and massive devastation occurs, with the threats North Korea sends to America there's signs that war maybe coming. 

Some countries also spend too much money on nuclear weapons, focusing too much on military instead of other situations such as education, health care, vital services etc...

Objectives:
1. Grassroots activism: Overthrow people in government who are trying to abuse their use of nuclear weapons, do not support companies that help benefit atomic energy or benefit from it
2. Prepare for any nuclear attacks
3. Create a sense of urgency among the people, educate about atomic energy/nuclear warfare

Results:
1. Country will lose funding for nuclear warfare which will in turn help mankind and prevent the dangers of atomic energy from happening
2. In any case for nuclear attacks, you will be ready, will protect you from radiation and any other detrimental health risks from radiation
3. People will be motivated to prevent their government from spending on nuclear warfare, people will know to be prepared for nuclear attacks which will cause less deaths/fatalities, etc.]]> 2017-10-30 02:13:37 UTC https://padlet.com/594360/drm791crrg37/wish/201574279 Stability and Change 594360 https://padlet.com/594360/drm791crrg37/wish/201574342 When should we change things or try to keep them the same?
We should be more prepared for nuclear wars, with urgency we should take it more seriously. Currently scientist are learning and trying to discover more about atomic energy, and should continue to do so, as we humans need to know more about it to find a solution to get rid of nuclear energy. We need to find a solution before it's too late, before this turns into a bigger problem than it already is, for our health and future generations.

Atomic energy has only bad results to our world and health.

Nuclear war causes mayhem and kills civilians, the aftermath is not only devastating but the recovery is costly. Radiation also spreads around the affected areas causing many mutations and diseases, which can take years to die out. 

It also causes many economic problems for countries, with many countries spending their money on nuclear energy (which isn't cheap) rather than using it for the better.  

And a big problem with nuclear energy is that is causes huge environmental and health issues. Nuclear waste cannot be recycled and can last for over 25,000 years, it can also give of radiation which is high threat to organisms as it can cause health problems like cancer and birth defects and even death.

The right thing for us to do is to educate and know why atomic energy is bad, because of all the harmful affects it has on the world. Nuclear war harms every and is wrong. Scientist should continue their research for a safer way of disposing nuclear waste and further discover more about atomic energy. Along with more countries embracing renewable energy sources rather than using nuclear, as it can be a positive investment, safer and over all better.
