Fear of nuclear attack was rampant in the 1950s and 1960s. Teachers taught their children to hide under desks, while others built bomb shelters in their back yards. The school photo is from 1952 in New Jersey, the bomb shelter from 1961 in California.

Deaths From War
• In the 1700s, wars were small.– Waged on fields of honor
• Today, no lives are spared in war.– Expensive, involves civilians– No longer “pageantry”
![Page 38: Social Problems: A Down-to-Earth Guide, 11e James M. Henslin Chapter 14 War, Terrorism, and the Balance of Power](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649ea25503460f94ba55da/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

The extent to which dehumanization can alienate us from ordinary human feelings is incredible. To measure the effects of compression and decompression, German doctors placed this inmate of a concentration camp in a pressure chamber. As the doctors manipulated the air pressure, they observed and photographed the man’s death.

Children often bear the scars of war. These children are fleeing flaming napalm that was intended to root out Viet Cong. The photo was taken in 1972 in Trang Bang, Vietnam.

The Military–Industrial Complex
• The Military as an Economic Force– Billions of dollars go to people who produce
armaments. • The Business of Death • A Glimmer of Hope
– Nuclear disarmament
![Page 42: Social Problems: A Down-to-Earth Guide, 11e James M. Henslin Chapter 14 War, Terrorism, and the Balance of Power](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649ea25503460f94ba55da/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

The Possibility of Accidental War
• Computer Failure• Human Error • Nuclear Accidents• Nuclear Sabotage • Nature• The Significance of Symbolic Interaction

Biological and Chemical Warfare
• Biological and Chemical Agents in War• The Treaty with a Giant Flaw • Continued Research and Production
![Page 46: Social Problems: A Down-to-Earth Guide, 11e James M. Henslin Chapter 14 War, Terrorism, and the Balance of Power](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649ea25503460f94ba55da/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
The human costs of war far outnumber the
soldiers who are killed and maimed. Shown
here is a victim of Agent Orange, a
defoliant used by U.S. troops in Vietnam to
clear the forests to disrupt the movement of
troops and supplies from the north. Birth
defects, especially the absence of vital
organs (brains, eyes, kidneys, and so on),
were a major factor in terminating the
massive use of chemical defoliants during
this war.
