Phase 2 Blog 2

Technology
"Perhaps, when we remember wars, we should take off our clothes and paint ourselves blue and go on all fours all day long and grunt like pigs. That would surely be more appropriate than noble oratory and shows of flags and well-oiled guns." With the advancement of technology comes the advancement of weapons. War has a connection with technology, technology creates weapons and weapons creates war. The quote shows that humans are just like animals, humans aare like the royal not like animals so why do people fight?  To be human in this quote references that humans are power hungry and everyone jsut cares about killing eachother. This quote is relevent to our current society, alot of people in the United States wonders why are there soilders still in Iraq. Many Americans blame George Bush, in several newsports there were videos of innocent people getting killed. The advancements of weapons are scary and dangerous. People are described as animals and that people should just run around on all fours, from this quote I think that humans don't necessarily see the suffering caused by wars and weapons. The atomic bomb which Hoenikker created shows that humans dont really care about other peoples lives.
