Running Head: PROLIFERATION OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS                1
PROLIFERATION OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS                        7
OPINION EDITORIAL ON THE PROLIFERATION OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS
Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons
Nuclear energy has been one of the greatest discoveries of all times. However, the invention of nuclear weapons was fuelled by increased enmity and disbelief among the countries. As mentioned by Sidel and Levy (2007), post progress and developments in the field of uranium fission, countries feared that other nations would secretly strengthen their nuclear research and develop weapons to be used against each other in war. In my opinion, this only set the stage for the invention of the first nuclear weapon by the United States, followed by the Soviet Union’s discovery of the atom bomb.
This triggered off an ever-lasting competition amongst the nations in terms of developing nuclear ammunition. According to Perkovich (2017), until the year 1952, the only states to possess nuclear weapons were United States and Soviet Union. After the United States gave its nuclear weapons to the United Kingdom, other countries of France, China and South Africa started consolidating on their nuclear power. Cu
ently, as per statistics, there has been an average of 27000 nuclear entities across the globe with a huge explosive form (Pena-Lopez, 2015).
The concept of common good encompasses various situations to refer to actions or acts that have resulted in some desirable outcomes (CBCEW, 2001). These outcomes, as observed by Clark (2014), do not only pertain to individual and subsequently benefit a large number of people. In other words, common good co

For instance, as observed by Dunlop (2013), it could be said that education itself is a common good, as it does not limit its benefits to a particular student or class, but the entire school, college or university. Similarly, as noted by Jairath, Donley, Shelton, McMullen and Grandjean (2006), nurses may also be considered as agents of common good in the fields of nursing and healthcare. It has been suggested that common good of people both locally as well as globally serve to fuel the nurse’s passion for increased efficiency in the delivery of her duties (Australian Catholic Bishops, 2016).
Therefore, I recognised that nursing by itself is a noble profession, involving lots of perseverance, resilience and determination to
