Japanese Earthquake Debate

The opposition side has stated themselves that, “most people are refusing to believe the signs that indicate the end of the world.” This shows that for most people, the recent natural disasters such as the earthquakes and tsunamis in Japan are not an issue that is big enough to signal the world’s end. The Mayans have predicted that we will meet the end of the world in 2012, however they also worshiped the sun as their God.

What the world fears now is the leaking of a “man-made” nuclear plant. The Japanese government, in an attempt to keep the plant alive and save billions of dollars, have reacted too slowly to pour the ocean water onto the plant and this has led to the explosion and the leaking of three of the nuclear plants in Fukushima. The nuclear radiation has caused the community in the 100km radius of the region to evacuate the area. The radiation is severe and dangerous enough to contaminate individual’s genes for generations to come and mutation could possibly take over the nation. This disaster shows us that the human race blinded by greed cannot control what we have created. The opposition has also stated that the radiation will spread by “wind, refugees… and   would affect the world...
