Social Significance
The people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki suffered socially as well. While during the war there hadn't been much time for social gatherings, after the war everything was in shambles. The bombing destroyed lives, extinguishing many lives and causing others to get injured. Others, years later, have gotten cancer.

All the people on Earth are faced with the potential threat of nuclear annihiliation. From the fifties through the eighties during the tension wrought Cold War years, people were taught various means of protection in the case of a bombing.
The lives of survivors, such as those above, were forever changed.
