Tuesday March 25th

I. Summary-
In Moscow agreements were made between the Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak and Russian President Vladimir Putin. With Egyptian plans he is going to build the first of 4 atomic power stations. Egypt is in co-operation with Atomic Energy Agency. Russia is happy to start this partnership with Egypt in nuclear energy. In China, India and Iran Russia already started to build nuclear. reactors there.

II.
A). This article relates to the AP theme of Impact of technology, economics, and demography on people and the environment because the technology of the nuclear station will effect both the environment and people in many ways.
B). The historical background to this issue is atomic bombs were once made in the cold war and it was very devastating because it hit both 2 cities in and they still have radiation problems in Japan.
C). The point of view from this article is from someone who is for these atomic power stations because they felt very highly of them because they would talk to them in a good way not disagreeing about what Russia and Egypt are going to do.
D). In this article you can see that this person is for the stations because in the article they are not disagreeing with anything they were saying how Egypt and Russia are now partners in this and are starting to build.
E). In this article you are missing a point of view from someone who does not agree with this situation and thinks its a bad idea or many someone from Japan that lived through the Cold War and remembered it with the atomic bombs.
F). I don't think that these atomic bomb stations are a good idea because the last time we had atomic bombs or anything of that source it did not go well and caused problems so I don't think we should start that again.

I do not agree with this article because it could start a big fights if one goes off even on accident. It would cause a lot of problems.

I also do not agree with the decision to add these atomic bomb stations because there is no good whatsoever that could come from them and they could only be a danger to the rest of the world. I hope that we can do something to make sure of our protection from these possible attack sources.
