Nuclear Weapons Persuasive Speech by Charles Okoi https://padlet.com/charles_okoi/j20p3zbmrl41 Made by Charles Okoi en-us 2018-03-08 17:03:00 UTC 2018-03-08 17:31:59 UTC hello@padlet.com Did you know the Nukes we have today are over 3,000 times more powerful than the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki! charles_okoi https://padlet.com/charles_okoi/j20p3zbmrl41/wish/239780068 Nukes killing masses of people, making us hostile towards each other, and not being good for the environment are  one of the many reasons that I believe that nuclear weapons should be banned.]]> 2018-03-08 17:07:55 UTC https://padlet.com/charles_okoi/j20p3zbmrl41/wish/239780068 Point #1 Nuclear weapons could kill masses of people. charles_okoi https://padlet.com/charles_okoi/j20p3zbmrl41/wish/239785640 For instance Look at the casualties of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. atomicarchive.com says that Hiroshima had a total casualty of 135,000 people and Nagasaki had a total casualty of 64,000 people.]]> 2018-03-08 17:16:48 UTC https://padlet.com/charles_okoi/j20p3zbmrl41/wish/239785640 Point #2 Nuclear weapons aren’t good for the environment. charles_okoi https://padlet.com/charles_okoi/j20p3zbmrl41/wish/239787108 Also when nuclear bombs explode they leave lots of radiation which can alter DNA, and cause cancer to us, and animals. http://education.seattlepi.com says A detonated nuclear bomb produces a fireball, shockwaves and intense radiation. A mushroom cloud forms from vaporized debris and disperses radioactive particles that fall to earth contaminating air, soil, water and the food supply. When carried by wind currents, fallout can cause far-reaching environmental damage.]]> 2018-03-08 17:19:10 UTC https://padlet.com/charles_okoi/j20p3zbmrl41/wish/239787108 Point #3 Nuclear weapons will make us hostile towards each other and ruin our relationships. charles_okoi https://padlet.com/charles_okoi/j20p3zbmrl41/wish/239790207 Plus the more nukes we know other people has the more we will be cautiousof each other like during the Cold War or the Cuban Missile Crisis. http://www.icanw.org says so long as any country has these weapons, others will want them, and the world will be in a precarious state.]]> 2018-03-08 17:23:53 UTC https://padlet.com/charles_okoi/j20p3zbmrl41/wish/239790207 Some may say nuclear weapons could only be used as self-defence or nuclear weapons could only be used to end wars quickly. charles_okoi https://padlet.com/charles_okoi/j20p3zbmrl41/wish/239793764 Well for the first one although that is true corrupt people could use this as an excuse to use nukes or start a war like if we got threatened like how North Korea is us. And if this is true then we might jump to conclusions and not think about civilians or causlitiles, or about negotiating peace before we end it all
