man_made disaster is more harmful than natural disater,why?

Question

i am going to attend a debate and my topic is man made disaster is more harmful than natural disaster ,can you give me some advice about this topic?thank you

Answer 1

It's not that Man made disaster is more harmful than those natural disasters.Both are equally harmful!.
Man-made hazards are threats having an element of human intent, negligence, error or involving a failure of a system. Man-made disasters are a result of inadequately managed man-made hazards.

A natural disaster is the consequence of when a natural hazard (e.g. volcanic eruption, earthquake, landslide) becomes a physical event and interacts with human activities. Human vulnerability, caused by the lack of planning or lack of appropriate emergency management, leads to financial, structural, and human losses. The resulting loss depends on the capacity of the population to support or resist the disaster, their resilience. This understanding is concentrated in the formulation: "disasters occur when hazards meet vulnerability". A natural hazard will hence never result in a natural disaster in areas without vulnerability, e.g. strong earthquakes in uninhabited areas. The term natural has consequently been disputed because the events simply are not hazards or disasters without human involvement. The degree of potential loss can also depend on the nature of the hazard itself, ranging from a single lightning strike, which threatens a very small area, to impact events, which have the potential to end civilization. For lists of natural disasters, see the list of disasters or the list of deadliest natural disasters.

Answer 2

This is a poor choice of topic. Have you already forgotten the tsunami in the Indian Ocean? Condemn man-made disasters if you wish (and they are worthy of condemnation), but don't put yourself in a position of entering a debate with a premise so easily disproved.

Answer 3

Hmm..They could both wipe out the entire earth. Nuclear war or asteroid. But man made disasters are preventable so we can hopefully work to take care of our planet and learn to love others more.

Answer 4

I would recommend that you change your topic, unless you are planning to use Hiroshima as your example of a man-made disaster.

Mother Nature has proven herself to be meaner and more vendictive than mankind.

Answer 5

Man made nuclear weapons. Think of how that devastated Japan's people, land, and atmosphere.
