Teaching nuclear holocaust, the basic thanatological topic

Abstract

The writer urges that nuclear weapons and nuclear war issues be taught at all levels by instructors of all specialties. As nuclear holocaust threatens to end human civilization if not human existence itself, no topic is more worthy of study in these days. Because the subject is multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary, every teacher has a stake in it. Because the subject is central to the human enterprise itself, every teacher has the responsibility to empower students to bring about necessary change.
