Imagine what it would be like to create a meaningful change so that the world can become a better place. What could you do to make that come true? What would the world look like if you were successful? Write a narrative involving a setting, real or imagined, that conveys your ideal world.

Answer and Explanation:

The world would be a better place if I could end racism, discrimination and inequality between people. It would be beneficial if we could transport ourselves to a utopian reality, where I could go from country to country, from city to city, convincing people that these practices are inhumane and that they project society as a whole. I would start doing this in the USA, as it was founded on the basis of equality, but fails to provide it.

A world without racism, inequality and discrimination would be a world where all people would have the same chances and abilities to win in life, would do whatever they wanted without receiving judgments or attacks and could thus have a full life and strive together to resolve others problems of the modern world.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
