The Most Potential Weapon: Nuclear Bomb

'We have genuflected before the god of science only to find that it has given us the atomic bomb, producing fears and anxieties that science can never mitigate.’ - Martin Luther King. 

Nuclear bomb is known as the most powerful weapon in the world. In 1945, they bombed Japan Hiroshima to make them surrender in World War II so that the world will be in peace. It impacted the whole city and about 200,000 people died at that time. However, North Korea created nuclear bombs in early 1980s and started to test some place including South Korea Seoul, Bikini Island and other places. Many people were in fear to know what the future will be with nuclear bomb. After North Korea told that they would test nuclear bomb again, many other countries had lots of disagreements and thought nuclear weapons should be abolished. Nuclear bombs are extremely harmful to people in the world by testing nuclear bomb in different country, causes international disagreements but many people tried to find solutions to make the world into peace.

By testing nuclear bomb in different places, nuclear bomb is extremely harmful to people in this world. North Korea didn’t even care about people in that place and kept on testing and many innocent people lost their lives. ‘I do not believe that civilization will be wiped out in a war fought with the atomic bomb. Perhaps two-thirds of the people of the earth will be killed.’-Albert Einstein. This quote from Albert Einstein regretted about 25 years of his life about finding atomic bomb and made the whole world into fear. Once people bomb the atomic bomb, it will kill more than half of the world’s population life. Many people predicted that if North Korea completes the whole nuclear bomb, it could wipe out the whole world. This could impact most of the people’s lives and many people are scared of the future about atomic nuclear bomb. "It's very important that we have an effective way to communicate with the public the seriousness of a nuclear accident," Nuclear Regulatory Commission spokesman Scott Burnell told Discovery News. Many accidents about nuclear bomb happened about more than 10 times in America and Russia and once in North Korea. In North Korea, there was accident once happened while they were transporting nuclear bomb into some other place. Luckily, it didn’t impact the whole city and no injuries were there but still in the future the more dangerous accident could happen. People can’t predict what dangerous thing might happen in the future. While testing, North Korea sometimes could fail and have bad dangerous accidents happen in someday if they still don't abolish the nuclear bomb.

North Korea made an international disagreement by telling the whole world that they will test the nuclear bomb soon. The conflict has risen up more and more about North Korea Nuclear Bomb test between countries. "North Korea is directly and recklessly challenging the international community. North Korea's behavior increases tensions and undermines stability in north-east Asia." - Barack Obama. America president Barack Obama was furious with North Korea about testing nuclear bomb. Many countries except for Iran who traded nuclear bomb each other with North Korea disagreed with the testing of nuclear bomb. Many people thought that if testing of nuclear bomb still goes on then peace and harmony will break into piece by piece. People are trying to stop even now and the disagreement of international still didn’t end up. ‘North Korea has not signed the CTBT, and tested nuclear weapons in 2006 and 2009.’ CTBT stands for Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty and many nations like Pakistan, Iran and India signed that they would stop testing nuclear bomb and will abolish. Unfortunately, North Korea ignored to sign and still tested their completion of nuclear bomb in 2012 May. Many nations got really furious but the threat of nuclear bomb from North Korea couldn’t stop them from banning. North Korea still threatens most of the nations with their nuclear bomb and people couldn’t stand up for.

Fortunately, many people are trying to solve solutions to abolish the nuclear bombs especially in North Korea. Since NWC ,a community made a campaign to abolish nuclear weapons many people started to join the campaign. “All states must intensify their efforts to outlaw nuclear weapons and achieve a world free of nuclear weapons.” A group called ICAN group joined the force of international secret meeting and started to have campaign. Many people who feared about nuclear bomb started to join the campaign and tried their best to abolish the nuclear bomb to prevent from being wiped out the whole world. This have been shown a great news that about 30 nations abolished the nuclear bomb but still North Korea hasn’t yet decided to abolish the nuclear bomb. However, it might impact them from making them abolish nuclear weapon soon in someday. “It’s a heartbreaking fact that our nation has been divided for more than 70 years. I will make painstaking efforts toward reunification.” - Kim Jong Un. After North Korea president Kim Jong Il died the next president was his son Kim Jong Un. Kim Jong Un made a first public speech and this impressed everyone in the world. Even Barack Obama thought if North and South Korea made reunification then they could abolish the nuclear bomb and the world will be in peace. Moreover, the terrible conflict will be over and the most dangerous weapon will never be used. After listening to Kim Jong Un’s speech many North Koreans cheered and hope that soon they could reunify with South Korea and abolish the Nuclear Bomb. (Video)

North Korea still didn’t ban the nuclear bomb yet and this was a big problem for people in the world. Many people lost their lives because of testing and conflict of international disagreements are still continuing. However, recently, many people are trying to ban the nuclear bomb and even claimed in media to make people to support them from abolishing the nuclear bomb. If you want to abolish the nuclear bomb: Support and join the community about banning nuclear bomb and hope that this solution could be success.

The Change of World Full of Brightness

According to BBC News, approximately 3.5 - 7.5 million people died due to the violence every year in the world. Most of the victims are about 15~29 years olds who got serious injuries or even killed because of the violence. Rio de janeiro, the huge city and is known as the most violent place in Brazil where many children who are abducted and taking risks by working for people and to do gang such as stealing. A person who started to change her favela is Mayra. (Brazil Violence) ‘Mayra’s fight goes on, as life in the favela’s remains extremely dangerous and the local facilities are poor.’ Her success of winning against violence saved more than 1000 children’s lives in Brazil. Mayra,  who is only a teenager lives in a violent environment in Brazil. When there was civil war between the drug cartel and the police, she regained control and tried to help other children in favela by stopping violence and demanded every child have rights.


Mayra’s favela was like living in a civil war between the drug cartels and the police, but Mayra didn’t want to be scared of going outside and helped put a stop to the violence. In fact, Rio is the city that is the most violent place in Brazil. Many people couldn’t live peacefully and was afraid of the gunfire happening. ‘Peace should be for everyone and we all should work for it.’ and violence affected lots of people who were innocent. ‘The violence rose to such extreme levels that, when Mayra was eleven years old, the neighbourhood was cut off and became virtually inaccessible to medical and teaching staff.’ (Children Peace Prize) Many lawless and heavily armed crime lords came to her neighborhood and had lots of violence going on between drug cartel and police. However, Mayra decided to help people who are risking their lives to be against the drug cartel and people who are injured because of the fighting. Because the war occurred so often, that people were afraid to go outside. Mayra stopped the conflict to make her favela become peaceful. Before, Mayra tried to stop the violence, it rose higher and higher that even people who are not related into this violence got hurt and even killed. Mayra made community by herself and she tries everything to have her rights. She fight for everything and declared to everyone. Fortunately, the police gave up and everyone now have their own rights. ‘She mobilized children to participate in a community march against violence.’ (Kids Rights)Mayra added a quote and tried to risk her life to stop the violence for people.  ‘Do something instead of nothing.’ (Video) At the age of 15, Mayra organized the community and made every single people to participate in the community to stop the violence. Furthermore, police was patrolling around the school so Mayra tried everything to make police to stop patrolling. Her confident had succeeded to make violence shortened. Mayra tries her best to stop the violence. She even organized the whole community to stop the violence. She is really selfless and think about other peoples’ feelings and injury. To sum up, because of Mayra a teenager’s courageousness, the violence had been shortened and her town started to become peaceful.


Mayra also declared that every children has rights to education and health care, so she organised a community that allowed children to go to school. For instance, Mayra sympathizes for someone who takes risks who aren’t able to be educated or taken care of some guardians.  “Everybody has a part to play in improving human rights, in particular the rights of children as the future generation. We can and must stand up for these children, whose rights are being violated and whose lives are at risk.” In fact, Mayra’s favela had violence so much that every health centers, schools closed down. As a result, children didn’t have rights to be educated or to be healthy. On the other hand, Mayra demanded to government about her own rights even other children’s. Mayra is courageous upstander who demands basic human rights likes education and security for poor children. Her pride is extremely strong and she even thinks rights are not given to certain people but given to everyone in this world. ‘I believe peace is not privilege.’ I have a dream.’ Mayra has a dream to stand for. She feels bad when she see someone who takes risks like children who are injured. She thinks peace is for everyone and children who are unable to educated, she demanded that all children should be educated.  Mayra tries her effort to make every children to be educated and gave hopes to others who are in risk.


Whenever, violence happened every time in favela, Mayra stops the violence to make her town to be peaceful. Furthermore, she helps children who were forced to do something and made them have their own rights. By confidently stopping violence and risking her life, she had succeeded to stop police patrolling around the school and opened the school again which was closed due to the violence. Children now could be educated and go to school like normal kids do. Because she never gave up and tries everything she can, she won against the violence. She made her town to become peaceful and the violence in her town, so she recieved Children Peace Prize in 2008. Mayra’s determination and courageous helped children. Furthermore,  Mayra is an upstander who stopped the violence and demanded children’s rights bravely.

Where I am From

Where I am From

I am from a park,

Where bicycles going fast, slow and even fall down.

I am from a building,
with tall students walking inside,
studying hard without any smiles on their faces.

I am from my apartment,
on the corner
with darkness growing and growing.
I am from TV show
full of cartoons and animation
dancing around and singing
almost screaming like hyper.

I am from enemies
hitting, frowning and gossiping
competing who is the best

Also being jealous each other.
I am from teachers
hitting me with thick bamboo stick

Always making my hand red like blood.

I am from developed things

Full of new computers, phones

Listening to MP3 in touch.

I am from street market

Opening every Thursday

Lots of discounts, crowded,

And the smell of Kimbab, Steamboat floating around everywhere.

In my drawer,

Pictures messed up

Taken when in a trip for Scout

Enjoying, joking and laughing

At each other.
