FINAL THOUGHTS ON HIROSHIMA

 Over the past three weeks, we have discussed the power and devastation of the atomic bombs dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima.  We have read first hand accounts of the death and destruction that goes along with the use of atomic weapons. 

 My question to you is: Do you think that atomic weapons should continued to be used? 

 Your assignment for this evening is to weigh the "pros" and "cons" of the use and possession of nuclear and atomic weapons in this day in age.  Are the any positives?  What would the world look like if there was nuclear war?  Reflect and Respond.  Also, use the Internet/Youtube to look at "DOOMSDAY" scenarios and tell me what you think.

SCHOOL HOLIDAY RESPITE PROGRAM

School vacations present special challenges to students with disabilities – and their families!  Busy parents, balancing jobs, their own personal lives along with the demands of their children are most in need of some down time; to take care of errands and themselves.  Parents and other caregivers need and deserve respite from the countless extra demands of caring for a child with special needs.

At Contemporary Guidance Services, Inc., we understand that this can be overwhelming! Our School Holidays Respite Program serves students with Developmental Disabilities, Intellectual Disabilities or Autism Spectrum Disorders who have challenging behaviors. CGS offers safe and structured social and recreational activities during scheduled holidays when the public schools are closed.  CGS also provides families with the peace of mind that comes from knowing that their son or daughter is developing skills that foster independence and confidence while enjoying a program supervised by experienced professionals. Door-to-door transportation, including pick-up and drop-off, is part of this program.      

Program Hours:

     Manhattan: 9:30AM-3:30PM

SCHOOL IS CLOSED FOR MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY-JANUARY 19TH

LOOKING AT THE DATA TABLE ON THE CASUALTIES OF THE BOMB

TABLE A: Estimates of Casualties (anyone killed or hurt in a war or disaster)
	Hiroshima	Nagasaki
Pre-raid population	255,000	195,000
Dead	66,000	39,000
Injured	69,000	25,000
Total Casualties	135,000	64,000

The relation of total casualties to distance from X, the center of damage and point directly under the air-burst explosion of the bomb, is of great importance in evaluating the casualty-producing effect of the bombs. This relationship for the total population of Nagasaki is shown in the table below, based on the first-obtained casualty figures of the District:

TABLE B: Relation of Total Casualties to Distance from X
Distance from X, feet	Killed	Injured	Missing	Total Casualties	Killed per square mile
0 - 1,640	7,505	960	1,127	9,592	24,7OO
1,640 - 3,300	3,688	1,478	1,799	6,965	4,040
3,300 - 4,900	8,678	17,137	3,597	29,412	5,710
4,900 - 6,550	221	11,958	28	12,207	125
6,550 - 9,850	112	9,460	17	9,589	20

No figure for total pre-raid population at these different distances were available. Such figures would be necessary in order to compute per cent mortality. A calculation made by the British Mission to Japan and based on a preliminary analysis of the study of the Joint Medical-Atomic Bomb Investigating Commission gives the following calculated values for per cent mortality at increasing distances from X:

TABLE C: Percent Mortality (those dead)  at Various Distances
Distance from X, in feet	Percent Mortality (death rate)
0 - 1000	93.0%
1000 - 2000	92.0
2000 - 3000	86.0
3000 - 4000	69.0
4000 - 5000	49.0
5000 - 6000	31.5
6000 - 7000	12.5
7000 - 8000	1.3
8000 - 9000	0.5
9000 - 10,000	0.0

NAME_________________________________  DATE___________________________________

OPTION 1: ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS;   OPTION 2: ANSWER FIRST 3 QUESTIONS: OPTION 2: 1 QUESTION

From Table A, which city had a larger pre-raid population? _________________________________

Which city had the most dead? _____________________________How many?_________________

Which city had the most injured?___________________________ How many?_________________

From Table B, which distance from X had the most deaths?_________________________________

    Which distance from X had the second most deaths?_____________________________________

     Which distance from X had the most casualties?________________________________________

     Which distance from X had the most killed per square mile?______________________________

From Table C, if X is where the bomb dropped, what per cent mortality was within 1-1000 feet? __________________________

1000 feet equals how many yards?____________________________(3 feet = 1 yard)

WHAT CONCLUSION CAN YOU MAKE ABOUT THE DISTANCE FROM THE BOMB BLAST POINT AND HOW HURT A PERSON WOULD BE?_(hint: look at Table B)_________________
