Whats your opinion about the world?
375533
A rapidly changing environment, mostly due to the effects of globalisation. Society (particuarly in the western world) is controlled by fear, a very powerful propaganda tool. We work too hard, we don't get paid enough and we aren't given enough time to enjoy the things we earn money for. Life is dominated by work, work for most people centres around a driving force to exceed targets on the previous year, to increase profit margin and generally to appease the great Gods "The Shareholders".\n\nAll in all, not the society I would have chosen to be born into.\n\nNot that it's all bad, just that I'm a synic.

The world can be a better place if we could all just recognize that everyone has more similarities than they do differences. If we could put a face and feelings to the people we tend to hate. If we could try to understand where people are coming from and why they feel the way they do before we judge them. The world would be a better place if we realized that every single person on earth has come to view things exactly as they do as a result of both their past experience and what they have been taught. Rather than persecute them for those views, we could offer them new experiences or teachings on which to base their views of the future.

Yes,  We as Americans should be very concerned about world opinion.  My girlfriend went on a vacation to Australia not long after we met.  She noticed a little hostility from some of the people from other countries that were in their group.  These ultra conservative "cowboy" extremest are giving us a very bad image around the world.  I stumbled across a website for a German band .........  I think it was Ram-stein but I'm not sure.  I was shocked and appalled at all the anti U.S. statements. \n      I once got into a discussion at a bar with a girl from Czechoslovakia she told me that Americans in general were uninformed and often deceived by our media.   We are the most powerful country in the world right now our problems are the worlds problems and visa verse.  We as Americans have a responsibility to know whats going on in the world (not just what FOX news tells us) and act accordingly.

i don't think so. I think what makes the world an intresting place is our different views. Without variety everything would be boring and stale

This is like asking, "Is the glass half full or half empty?"\n\nIf you are an optimist, the world is mostly good.

In my personal opinion:\n\n#1 : Human Rights - even though the world has the Universal Declaration on Human Rights which was ratified by the UN and members of the UN are supposed to uphold these, it seems these basic human rights are continually violated\n\n#2 : Poverty - it's such a shame that in our world today, with all our great technology and know-how, that we still cannot seem to find a way to bridge the large gap between extreme poverty in parts of the world and the extreme rich in other parts (and sometimes the two coexist in the same nation!)\n\n#3 : Energy - our world today uses a lot of energy, unfortunately we haven't invested as much money and time to develop the technologies to advance the ways in which we produce energy (although we are steadily changing). I'll admit that when I learned how a car operates I was very surprised and disappointed...I realized that with all our advancing computer technology, etc, that the car is just one of the many machines that still operates in an early industrial style fashion. Sure we have lots of great gadgets inside the car and the designs have changed, but it still works and runs off of very late 19th century ideas. We should invest more time, money, and technology to advancing this and how we produce energy. It has began, but it is moving slower than the demand. \n\n#4 : Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendered, & Intersexed Rights - being gay myself I actually consider these human rights, but since some folks seperate these I thought I'd add them seperately for those that do. I once read "a nation is judged not by how well it takes care of its majority, but in how well it defends, protects, and cares for all its minorities." Most people forget about the basic humanity that is involved when talking about 'rights', especially when talking about gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgendered, and intersexed people. Somehow those asking for the 'rights' aren't seen as 'people' or even 'human' sometimes and it's ashame that we forget the humanity of this group of people.\n\n#5 : Health & Education - I think it is fundamental that we should not only educate people...especially educate people about their health...but that our world today should be able to provide very good health care for its population...but we can't expect better health for the world's population when we can't even take care of simple things like human rights (which require us to actually see the humanity in everyone), poverty (which again it's easy to dismiss if you fail to see the humanity of the people in it), and energy issues (because most of the great improvements in health care and schools come from technology..technology that takes energy to function and operate, let alone the facilities, vehicles, etc will need energy, too).  \n\nThat's my top 5 of the most pressing issues of concern! Get these things going and the world population would probably be much more content (and since we'd be honoring and recognizing each other's humanity then diplomacy might actually work better, too). There is an old saying I was told once about why in ancient times many societies invested so much in health, education, justice systems, and entertainment...because that makes people happy and happy people don't riot, don't overthrow their governments, don't rebel. I think modern governments should try to remember that (corporations are now starting to take notice of this...as has been reported many times recently about these corporations having health clubs, schools, daycares, entertainment centers, medical facilities, etc all built into or within their business complex..and they have happier employees who then show up for work and have fewer absenses and less turnover...and even greater profits).

A fact is that the world is round (it can be proved). An opinion is the world is flat (a statement that can be proved wrong).
