Three Things I Would Change About the World
In today’s society there is so much that I want to change about the world but just don’t have the means or power to do so. So when asked what I would change about the world I had to think very hard about which ones I thought were the most important. The problems that I found were the most important were the one’s that had a rising effect in our society today. The problems that I would change about the world if I could are prejudice, the fear of war, and the pollution humans create on Earth. I will discuss these problems and some ways that we can start to make a step towards change for the better in our world.
When I started to think about things that needed to be changed

I think people need to become more aware of the damaging being done and the money that is being spent towards these horrible wars that only bring pain and sorrow. It is hard to make a change with war as it is something that everyday people can not control but there are a few simple things you can do to become involved. A major step is to become involved in today’s politics and be aware of who you are voting for. A way to help those being affected by war is to donate any money, old clothes, toys and perishable food to any major organization. Major organizations create safe spaces for children to go and help children get a start in going back to school. For more information on what you can do to help visit www.warchild.org.
Today the Earth and many of its contents, thanks in large part to humans, is deteriorating and it has been for quite a time now. It is overwhelmingly populated with both ignorant and lazy people. In return not much is being done to prevent this deterioration. Pollution caused by humans and their inventions cause a major dilemma. Automobile exhaust fumes and factory pollutants are only a couple of the impurities causing damaging affects to the ozone layer and atmosphere. We depend on the ozone to defend us from harmful UV rays. Finally, we have a major impact on the degeneration of natural resources. Millions of gallons of oil, coal, and other
“If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him... We need not wait to see what others do.” — Mahatma Gandhi
Honestly, before trying to point out mistakes in the world, point out your mistakes first. Don’t think you can change the world without changing the world first. Gandhi once said, “Be the change that you want to see in the world,” (Gandhi). Instead of trying to transform the world, alter the way you think. Differences between people are created when people feel superior than others, so stop thinking this and believe you’re all equal to everyone around you. Discriminating is the reason why history kept repeating itself and why people felt ashamed and humiliated. Most importantly, do not judge others. You have no idea what that persons been through and how he or she feels, don’t jump the gun before knowing all the facts. This way people feel safe in the world and feel pleasant about themselves since they have no
Poverty, disease, global warming, this is the year 2017, and the world we currently suffer in. Since the beginning of mankind, we have lived in a world of war and hate. Why have we never done anything to change the way we live? No matter where you go on this earth, there is disease and famine. We see it everywhere we go, even in my small hometown of Laurel Montana. As I have lived her for my whole life of 20 years, I have seen the town thrive and fall. People standing on the street corner begging for spare change, business’ closing their doors because they can no longer afford to be open. What difference can I make? A kid from a small town, in a state that has a small population, who will make the biggest difference this
So many people we know go to war in their lifetime. Men, women, fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, aunts, uncles, cousins, and even our friends. No matter what their title may to you, those soldiers risk their lives fighting in order to keep each and every one of our families safe at night. However, once their home from the war, who takes the time to evaluate and treat the soldiers on the horrifying things they witnessed, the tragedy of losing their brothers in combat, and the acts they had to endure just to keep themselves alive. Too many soldiers come home from war wounded in more than a physical way, yet it goes untreated in far too many cases. Issues such as substance abuse, psychological impairments (PTSD, anxiety, depression etc.), and
War can be defined as armed conflict between nations or states or even different groups within a nation or state. All these wars, approximately 14,000 in the past 5,000 years, take innocent civilians away from their family, home, what they know for months or even years at a time. Often times the conditions these individuals are living in while at war are far from the normal life they previously lived. Vets often see and have to do certain task that no human being should be required to do. Leaving behind a lot of mental repairing to do once back home. Once a war comes to an end, these civilians are thrown back into a culture they have been away from for months, even years with little to no direction on where to start to build their lives again.
The uncomfortable truths that people must confront when dealing with war is endless. War not only affects the troops that are fighting but it affects the people trying to make a living in that area. The popular war, World War Two caused the German industry to collapse, there were bombings and housing stocks decreased. The victims of war can be affected physically and mentally by all the tragedies they face, whether they be fighting in the war or just living through it. The truths that come with war can be unbearable and tragic to nations but they cannot be avoided. These uncomfortable truths that war brings about do not only affect the country but also the people themselves.
Changing or getting rid of something in the world is a strong power, you have to be wise on what you choose. If you could change three things in the world what would you change? Getting rid of tea, winter, and change the use of cell phones would make my world better.
There are so many ways that we can change the world we are living in today. I think I would want to change the world by putting a stop on drugs, alcohol, and smoking and making this a serious thing. People have told me that some kind of drugs are good for you and I tell them “that is for the dogs none of that is true” and all I have to say about this is not one drug on this earth is going to help breathe when you wake up the next morning. The reasons people drink is for their own entertainment I have heard about how so many people have drunk to get something off of their mind. Not to be offensive but that is something that hurts other people and hurts you also.” Promising this is the best thing I will ever do” I will never drink any alcohol for the rest of my living days. Every time I turn on the news all I hear about is how people drinking and driving. We all know for sure they can put a ban on items like this but I don’t see it happening any time soon. When I turn on the news to see how people have got diseases from putting a cigarette in their mouth. How would you make a change in world?
In regards to solving these issues, it all begins with me. Perhaps a single person cannot change the entirety of a nation alone, but he or she may lead to an inspiration and motivation for others. As a result, I must bear my own responsibility, and hope that I can be a model to others. I hope that I am able to inspire others to take part in the monumentally important tasks which will affect not only myself but also the world during our time and during our posterity’s
Mahatma Gandhi, the civil rights leader, once said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Ever since the 1900’s, people and the world’s problems have increased since. We’ve gone from wars to assassinations, natural disasters to racism, and from more wars to even more racism. And that’s just in America. Even now, problems still exist, and continue to increase throughout the years. Many people are trying to stop some issues, however not enough people care. Due to worrying about their own safety and social status, rather than helping others that are in the midst of danger and even death. There are many changes needed in this world, but I have two matters I’d like to specifically address.
More than six billion individuals live on planet Earth. As the populace develops, we are taking increasingly land to live and utilizing a greater amount of the world's characteristic assets. Numerous human exercises likewise create POLLUTION, which is harming the Earth's surroundings.
Though people are uneducated about the problems we have at hand and even some still seem to not care when informed, I still hold out hope. There are people who care, and those people will make a difference because every small difference leads to a bigger difference. “Attitudes are also changing… the thousands of protests against chemical plants and waste incinerators show the extent of concern about the environmental health.” (320-321, When a Billion Chinese Jump). I hold out hope that we can change the global environmental problems we faced and make a difference. Though this won’t be easy to change it won’t be impossible.
If I could change the world I would change a few things in my life like cancer, chores, and give myself a few million dollars. I could help a lot of people if I got rid of cancer. I would also help myself if I got rid of chores. Finally, give myself a few million dollars. There is a lot of devastation in the world and here are a few things I would change to help make it
Your day has been great so far. You went on vacation, you found a dollar bill on the floor, you ate your favorite dish, nothing can be better than this. As soon as you walk on the boardwalk you are hoping to see big waves and fish in the sea, instead, you see dead fish and some animals floating in the water next to old car tires, trash, and fertilizer. Now you feel terrible and want to go home. Pollution is devastating. The reason why I researched this topic is that I do not want my family nor my planet to get sick. Pollution can be stopped very easily, it’s just that people “don’t know” how to stop or they just don’t care, which is a serious problem. I want people to see that pollution is mainly caused by humans, and also for them to see that it is a horrible thing that is happening. Some kids litter because they see their parents and their whole family doing it. When I was researching this topic, I noticed that I needed to find out more information, so I asked questions to myself. When did pollution get so bad? How many animals have gone extinct because of pollution? How many people die each year because of pollution? How much does everyone on the planet pollute each year? What is the best way to stop pollution? Can just one person make a difference? After a lot of research, I found out lots of ways that we can stop pollution, so it is possible to end it. Or at least improve the air.
A photograph of Earth reveals a great deal, but it does not convey the complexity of our environment. Our environment (a term that comes from the French environner, “to surround”) is more than water, land, and air; it is the sum total of our surroundings. It includes all of the biotic factors, or living things, with which we interact. It also includes the abiotic factors, or nonliving things, with which we interact. Our environment includes the continents, oceans, clouds, and ice caps you can see in the photo of Earth from space, as well as the animals, plants, forests, and farms that comprise the landscapes around us. In a more inclusive sense, it also encompasses our built
