Nuclear Division

By showing an update on a controversial issue, NBC was able to show that the world had changed in the way it viewed moral issues. The host explains that at the time, winning the war had gotten to people, and that the end justified the means. This eventually led to the bomb being dropped, with the public enthusiastically supporting this move by the government. But the host also explains that in 1995, 50 years later, attitudes were divided about dropping the bomb, which was the intended impact of the video. NBC chose to show this video to explain that attitudes towards morally correct things in the past change, and that this example is no different.
