weapons of mass destruction


According to the dictionary the weapon is defined as an instrument or device for use in attack or defense in combat, fighting, or war, as a sword, rifle, or cannon. The weapons of mass destruction which can kill a large number of humans are known as the most dangerous of this kind. These arms can cause damage in buildings, mountains or any place near to the detonation. There are different types of them which use chemical products or sophisticated technology. They are divided in 5 different areas depending on their materials. For example, the materials or results can be: chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear.
These weapons can be used for distinct interests in which not always are to protect a country. The most common use is on military which the main idea or purpose is the national defense. Unfortunately at the same time the criminal use exists. The illegal apply is known as terrorism and in some investigations appear the exact definition of weapons for terrorism use. The Federal Bureau of Investigation definition is:
• Any explosive or incendiary device.
• Any weapon designed to cause death or serious injuries.
• Any weapon designed to release radiation or radioactivity in a dangerous level.

In all the different countries, which weapons of mass destruction exist, are certain rules that needs to be followed. There are some conventions and contracts that control the use of the arms in the case of military employment. Those groups are managed by a council or a court who explains the rights and obligations of each member. The countries with nuclear weapons are People's Republic of China, France, India, Pakistan, Russia, United Kingdom, North Korea and United States of America who was the only country that used a nuclear weapon; the other seven countries just tested them.

The proliferation is the most concerning idea because that will disturb our security and peace. In some countries is easier to get materials to build a weapon for clandestine use. In the other hand the produce of the arms is increasing because there are more technology and facilities to make them. Nowadays is disturbing how easy a child can get information to create bomb. And the society doesn’t realize the danger of this. With all the information that we can find on the media why we can’t stop the production or increase of this weapons.

The government of each country is the responsible for the result and consequences of their own creation. It’s no necessary defend a nation with weapons and killing innocent people with their explosions or missiles. It’s important to create a new thought in every person and make a change for our own benefit. What will happen to us in 7 or 10 years if we continue accepting these armaments? It’s better to be seen as a phenomenon for help the world now than be part of the problem and bear the same or maybe a worst situation in the future.
