‘What were the other options to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Why were these options not pursued? Looking at this article, it is evident that the author takes a social lens. The author addresses the question of alternatives because the atomic bombings of that time have continued to remain the most controversial decisions in the history of planet earth. The fact that the bombings caused lots of death, the author looks at the various consequences of the bombings from a social perspective. How were the people affected psychologically, economically, politically, physically and otherwise? It is also clear from this article that the bombings on Japan compared to other nuclear technology bombings were founded on the social world and not political world. The bombings were very complex and revolved around a variety of social issues in a bid to end the Second World War. ‘there were so many other available options for scientists including clarifying an unconditional surrender terms, waiting for soviet entry, invasion of Japan and a continued naval blocking and withholding of necessary suppliers. This article takes a social lens because in as much as there were so many practical alternatives available, they only settled for what would cost human lives and the number of deaths and casualties is what the author uses to form a robust debate.

The secondary source article that I read was “Atomic bomb injuries among survivors in Hiroshima.” I chose this because I knew about the development of the atomic bomb but not so much about the effects on human life. This article had a very scientific lense and was very clear in their documentation of injuries in regards to distance of the center of the explosion. There was no focus whatsoever about the people themselves, the government, or the economy of the cities, merely that the people affected were another marker to be tallied on their analysis.
“A recent semiannual report of the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission (4) states that “1,009 individuals surviving under 1,000 meters and 9,191 between 999 and 1,499 meters were located during the Japanese national census in 1950.”
“The data were based on histories and interviews obtained by physicians of the Joint Army-Navy Commission which investigated the medical effects of the atomic bombs in Japan within a few months after the explosions.”
