Post #8-Research Paper Topic #2
My more recent topic is if low-yield nuclear weapons should be banned or not. A ban on low-yield nuclear weapons would draw a stark contrast on nuclear weapon yield versus conventional weapon yields and would hopefully prevent nuclear escalation. However, this treaty would be impossible to enforce with such countries like Iran, Pakistan, China, and especially North Korea. These countries have repeatedly lost their trust of Western nations through blatant disobedience or undercover operations that threaten the stability of global relations. I currently do not have a thesis for this topic because I am unsure of what I should write about. I find that I dislike this topic too much for me to have adequate motivation to pursue such a topic.
My previous topic on the ethics of using nuclear weapon fallout-enhancers had very scant research online, and so the marginal cost of attempting such a research project (the risk of a low grade) outweighed any marginal benefit. Hence I switched topics.
I propose to switch my topic to the reasons behind the varying degrees of stability of the isotopes of super-heavy elements, but I fear that this topic lacks arguments. This topic has the advantages of that I would be doing it for more than a grade because it is one of my primary interests. I would refer again and again to a paper on this topic, instead of having the paper be a symbol of bad memories and me never looking at it again. Do any of you think that the reasons behind the varying stability of the isotopes of super-heavy elements is a good research topic?
