oh well today is learning symposium and we presented three times. it was quite tiring but it was fun, relaxing and there were ppl playing our games. HAHA. but den the video on the hiroshima really really affected me a lot. it was very very heartwreching to like see what happened immediately after the bomb was dropped in hiroshima. when the mother could not save her own child...and just watch him burn to death, and yet he was still calling for her...calling for her to help...oh man it was really not a nice feeling...

and yea the question on whether the bomb should be dropped...well in a way at that point of time the US thinks that they are saving life because once the bombs are dropped, the japanese would stop whatever they are doing and surrender. but why two? well i think it is cuz of the lack of response from the Japanese after Hiroshima was bombed, thus they bombed Nagasaki, because they wanted to really frighten the Japanese and really make them realise that it is time to stop. and they will do this is cuz of the killings and treatments the japanese gave to the Asians, like the Chinese in Nanking and also the people in other Asian countries. well learning history is gd cuz you are able to evaluate things.
and well in the view of the Japanese, maybe the bomb should not be dropped and the US have no right to use these bombs because the Japanese wanted to surrender at that point of time. However is it really true? Because even after the first bomb is dropped, the Japanese actually hesitated if they really wanted to surrender anot. but i guess i won't blame them for it because they had worked so hard to like protect their pride, protect their country and it is intend very difficult to ask them to just stop doing and give up...if it were me i would feel that it is very difficult too....

den my part of the presentation was on minamata disease. i dun think i will ever forgt this part...the cruel actions of the Chisso Factory and the seirous consequences that was caused. this illness is realy very scary and haiz...the victims are really really very very innocent, more innocent than the people who were bombed (because they actually supported the militants). because the only wrong thing they did was to like to eat fish. i mean what is wrong with liking to eat fish? so why should they be punished. and i think it is a very good thing that they citizens in minamata did not forgt that they harm and killed many sea creatures too. and from what i rmb, the mercury is not under the land that they made...as in it is under the land of the memorial. it is really creepy and i really cannot imagine such a thing would happen...yet it happened.

oh wells life still goes on...i shall continue reading my bk.. haha
