WELCOME TO UNIFIERS' MOVEMENT

the Balanced Arguments to Global Issues.

From Today's Controversial Topic

Denuclearization (or Nuclear Disarmament) is an argument for the partial or complete dismantling of nuclear weapons. Specifically, for nuclear warheads such as the two nuclear bombs used by the American military to attack the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Following World War II, this has been a strongly advocated diplomatic approach between nations resulting in several international treaties. In recent years, more nations have developed nuclear programs making the development and management of nuclear stockpiles a critical part of international policies.

Doctoral students were asked to take "Pro", "Con", and "In Between" positions regarding the usefulness and harm of Denuclearization. (Full topic...)

Previous Topic Discussion

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), are any organisms whose DNA has been altered using biotechnology to introduce certain traits. In agriculture industry, GMO crops are engineered to resist pests and herbicides, improve shelf life, enhance nutritional value and enhance flavor. Developing these traits naturally would take several generations, but genetic modification fastens this process. Commonly grown GMO crops include cotton, corn and soybean Supporters argue that GMOs enable higher food production, which is essential for feeding a growing global population.

This book proposes a path toward unifying solutions to problems!
