These days, there are several unacceptable outrages happening almost in every part of the world, not only man hurts animals but also man fights with their own kinds. In fact, people in the past too, practiced some activities that cause a massacre like when Adolf Hitler killed the Jewish in a gas chamber and so on. Somehow, man seems to be less ethical and more selfish possibly due to the changes in society such as, new technologies along with new live styles. In this new society, the most important things are money and fame, in order to get those two, some people do not hesitate to go against morality as we can see nowadays like human trafficking, violence on animals and nuclear weapon.
First of all, in many Asian countries, some people are the victims of human trafficking for many aspects. In addition, we usually see this kind of thing from the news, children are sent overseas to be beggars or servants and some women have to work as maids outside their own countries. Sadly, these people have to face a tragic life, some women are sold to be prostitutes and children are being abused in many ways. It's not that all of them agree to do so, they have no choice but to make money for feeding the whole family. Human trafficking is obviously illegal but that is not the point. What really matters is that transporting human like this is all wrong for selling people like some kind of goods.
Second, there are some animals that face the risk of extinction because of man. Many people say that people in the past are cruel and savage. But aren't we just the same as them now? Man kills or hurts pitiful animals in order to get their invaluable body parts like elephant ivory, shark fin and tiger skin. For the case of shark, people cut the fin off and, let the shark back to the sea and becomes food for other sharks. In some countries like Korea and China, dog meat consumption is acceptable. However, the process of getting the meat is really horrible for example, about 50 dogs are squeezed in a small cage on the way to the market and some are ill and unable to breathe and also when they reach the market, dogs are to be hanged or boiled alive. That is a cruel thing to treat these little ones who deserve to live with care.
Finally, in the past, many wars occur and cause a lot of death but in these days, human seeks for more power and more wealth with whatever they can do even their action will kill millions of people. As the technology and science develop, the creation of nuclear weapon becomes a threat for many countries because of destructive power as we can see from the incident at Hiroshima, Japan. Today, the country like North Korea still use nuclear weapon to threaten other countries. Not only that one atomic bomb can destroy the whole island or country but also cause a long term disease like cancer due to radioactive materials. In Japan, there was an accident at the nuclear plant and radiation spreads everywhere, Japanese people who live nearby is inevitably exposed to radiation and get themselves contaminated day by day. Even the nuclear plant is a big energy source, it is actually a weapon to kill people, not instantly but gradually.
