It takes away peace, it is happening for a very long time for the past thousands of years, it is something that nobody will want, and that is war.
But, how has war evolved from the past to the present? The common thing in war is still violence and killing. It takes away many innocent lives.
In the past, people fight with swords, cannons and arrows. Those are the basic weapons for going to war. However as the technology improves gradually, from time to time, guns, rifles, and stronger and more effective weapons were introduced into war with more effective power and more accurate killing.
Now bombs were created. This is why there are cases of terrorisms in the world. Even before that, there is a very serious case that happened - to Japan in the World War II. The U.S. army dropped atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. They are extremely powerful and violence in war also hence increased. There is a lot of deaths and serious injuries by the radiation after the dropping of atomic bombs, unlike the past when there are fewer casualties in the war. Atomic bombs are made of chemicals. They are extremely dangerous and the consequences are unthinkable, because the evidence from the past stated that this had taken away many lives.
In conclusion, war has indeed evolved a lot from the past to present. Now with high technology and skilled force in the world and fierce competition, the swords, arrows are pushed aside and guns, rifles, rockets are being introduced.
I am Leon Ng from 2O2. I feel that this post is insufficient. You might want to consider the change in the purpose of the wars from past to present. Contrast the reasons why wars were fought in the past and present. Certainly, the reasons had changed over time. Indeed, it is true that the advancement of the technology has resulted in the creation of more dangerous weapons which cause more harmful effects. I think there is an assumption made when you stated that "unlike in the past when there were fewer casualties in the war". The number of casualties in the war in the past is significant too. In the past, people fought with bows and arrows etc and lives were not spared. Millions of soldiers died in the battlefield. Also, I believe you had a wrong understanding. Bombs were already created since in the past, except that the effects are not as devastating as today's. Bombs used today can inflict a lot of damage and cause deaths. Besides, bombs are not the reason why terrorism exists. Terrorism is defined as the use of violent action in order to achieve political and religious aims or to force a government to act and bombs are just merely a medium to destroy lives and properties to threaten the government. Nonetheless, I agree with most parts of this post and I hope you can keep this up. Thanks.
