ESSAY QUESTION: "Nuclear weapons are potentially more devastating than any other weapon in human history. We must stop pointing the nuclear gun at our own heads. The best way to lower the threat of nuclear war is for the nuclear capable nations, including the U.S., to lead by example and dismantle their own nuclear arsenals."
Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the position stated above. Support your viewpoint using reasons and examples from your own experience, observations, or reading.

YOUR RESPONSE: The issue of nuclear weapons is a controversial one. On the one hand, some argue to lower the threat of nuclear war is to dismantle the nuclear arsenal in all all countries. On the other hand, some argue that nuclear weapons are necessary to lower the threat of nuclear war. However, In the final analysis I believe that all the countries should dismantle their nuclear arsenal to lower the threat of nuclear war.

The chief reason for my belief is that nuclear weapons have devastating effects, not only in the area where the missile was dropped but also in the whole country. For example, nuclear missile dropped in Japan had effects for so many years and it took several years for japan to recover from the effects of missile. Moreover, If a nuclear war happens now it will have a larger effect as many countries now possess nuclear weapons than compared to 1940's.

Another reason for my belief is that by dismantling nuclear arsenal and not creating any more nuclear weapons, the funds provided to create nuclear weapons can be distributed to the welfare of people.

Some might argue that some terrorist groups may still possess nuclear missiles and dismantling all nuclear arsenal will make the terrorist organizations stronger. Yet, the terrorist organizations get the missiles only with the help of some countries. If all the nations possessing nuclear weapons dismantle their missiles and publish the details in public, there will be no help given to terrorist.

In sum, I concur that to dismantle nuclear arsenal is the best way to lower the threat of nuclear war.
