Diagnostic Exam: An atomic bomb in Japan

“The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty, and all forms of human life” said John F. Kennedy. Nowadays, with high technology inventions, human beings can change the world almost as they want. However, those inventions bring not only benefits, but also negative effects. An atomic bomb is one of the most influent inventions of human kind that not only affects human society but also the environment for generations.
T first, the research of atomic bomb was more like an experiment for study than trying to create a massive effect weapon. After testing in non-civilian areas, the U.S decided to use this bomb against Japan in World War II two times. These attacks showed the huge killing effect of the atomic bombs. The two bombs killed almost all human beings in two cities, especially Hiroshima. The most negative effect that atomic bomb is that soldiers are not the only type of people it kills. When an atomic bomb is dropped, every single life is taken, not only the adults but also the children, babies, eldest, sick and disables people. Furthermore, those people who are far away from the bomb dropping point may get genetic diseases which can affect their children for generations. Today, more than fifty years from the disasters in Hiroshima, Japanese people are still affected by that curse.
However, human society was not the only one who had to suffer from that invention; the environment and all species live in it were also affected. All the plant and animal in the area were killed right after the bomb was dropped. Flying high in the sky or digging deeply to the ground did not bring animals much chances. The bomb poisoned the air, the water and the ground so that there was no escape for any species in the area. The Japanese people have been rebuilding the environment for many years but everything is like the old time yet.
In conclusion, by looking at the example of the disasters in Japan, we can easily realize how dangerous an atomic bomb could be. With the development of technologies day by day, it is becoming more and more effective. As life goes on, there are more advanced technologies. However, new technologies or inventions should make our world better instead of destroying it.
