Weapons of mass destruction

Are the weapons of mass destruction destroying the world?



A weapon of mass destruction (WMD) is a weapon that can kill large numbers of humans (and other life forms) and cause great damage to man-made structures, natural structures, or the biosphere in general. These destroyed many cities and lot families in some places in the world, but they may not be the main problem in the handling of weapons that are affecting the masses. It is important to know that you can find different types of these arms: nuclear, chemical, and biological. All of these have singular effects and military applications are very different. The point is to analyze what is the reason for creating such different weapons and who are the losers and winners.

If you analyze many stories related to this topic, you can see that the main purpose for creating these weapons is the pursuit of world power, while in other cases it has been a debate whether companies make them in order to generate economic benefits. For example, the disasters of September 11th in 2001, where many people die in the United States. In this issue persons who studied this topic say that was the Americans to do this slaughter to manipulate the people feelings.

The problem here is what many countries sacrifice to obtain power or profits. There are people who now face the consequences of these weapons with lots of deformities in their bodies, with areas completely contaminated or worse people that long ago lost their lives without guilt in this trouble.

Thus, I agree with the high importance given to preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, but if I see the problem more closely, I know that not only these powerful weapons are destroying the world. People kill each other every day, the newspapers always give us information on murders, and violence has become a common theme in society. So my point is, are affecting more the powerful weapons created for mass destruction or weapons in many hands that every day will destroy lives. I think is the first one.
