It is easy to view the world as a horrible place when horrible events happen. With the Boston bombing that happened recently, many question why humanity makes the world such an undesirable place. The real question at hand should be how can humanity help the world become a better place to live. Every individual has the ability to offer something positive to the next generation.
The world I want to live in is a world that is less violent, discriminates less, and volunteers more. The phrase "violence never solves anything" has been said way more times than it has ever been practiced. When situations arise like the Boston bombing nothing positive came out of it. Only negative things came, such as people losing their lives and limbs. Too many innocent people have lost their lives in wars that weren't necessary. If there is ever an issue that I feel passionate about I will participate in peaceful protests instead of hurting somebody for no good reason.
In America, there aren't as many discrimination problems as in other parts of the world. However discrimination has a long way to go from being solved. Instead of being part of the problem, I will take steps to be part of the solution. If I hear something discriminatory I don't let it go and walk away, I try and calmly explain why it is discriminating and unfair. In the future I will be active in more political ways. I'll do what I can as an average citizen to help make this world less judgmental. Voting will be a big part of this.
Volunteering can help so many people all over the world. Donations can bring food to families in less fortunate countries. Volunteering time can help build structures for a community. If everyone volunteered for just one day, imagine how much better the world world be. I have done some community service, but I will do more in the future to help make this world a better place.
