Perfect World?

By any means, the world we live in isn't perfect.
But let's imaging for a second what it would be like if it was.

Of course, the number one thing would be no war, right?
No genocide, mass murdering, violence in general.
That's one of the typical things people would like to be different.
Of course, realistically, that could probably never happen.
It's human nature to fight. We are animals, after all.
But that doesn't mean we can't prevent some of it.
The first step to a utopia would be to overcome the violence of human nature.
Yes, it does make a good story to have violence.
Let's keep it in the stories. Only in the stories.
But eliminate the stories that have senseless violence that encourages a violent nature.
eliminate the war and kill-all-people video games.
Instead, we should limit violence in media only to instructive things.
Stories where violence brings tragedy, showing us how horrible it is.
If everyone knew how it hurts others,
and everyone worked to stop it,
then maybe this world could become much nicer.

Another thing that needs eliminating is disease.
Actually, we may be able to completely eliminate it someday.
Currently, many diseases can be prevented with shots and such.
New medicines and cures are found every day.
Eventually, we will have the technology to wipe out almost all diseases,
or at least cure them within a day,
including things like cancer and STDs.
I'm sure that by 2100 this idealism will occur.

What else?
Ah, right.
An ideal world will have better schools.
I love school, but I do think it needs changing.
School will last a maximum of five hours.
the only outside of school schoolwork will be projects.
That way, we're not stuck with overloads of work.
Also, there won't be as many mandatory classes:
You'll instead be allowed to focus on the area of study you enjoy in high school.
That way, you will learn a lot more, and have fun learning it.
Wouldn't that be great?

Yeah, a perfect world...
Of course, there are many other things I'd want in mine.
But I think that in any world, there are pluses and minuses.
So, if it can be good for everyone, despite little discomforts,
than that is truly the ideal world.

  3. No war is a genuine concern, yet some things are just not tolerable. How would we stop genocide without war? I do believe there's certain humans that cannot live among us in peace. Now it would be wrong to out right say, those people need their lives to be ended. Yet, how would such people ever be stopped if they weren't? If we shove them in a cell for the rest of their human lives, is that not another form of torture? In fact, two wrongs don't make a right and you can't really end someone for ending someone else. These people won't stop their actions, and it is in my own thoughts that I don't believe we know the proper way to settle such disputes. Disease does need to end. However, it almost seems like a punishment for some people falling ill for doing wrong deeds.

  4. You forgot to mention that free ice cream and muffins for all would help make this a perfect world. And everyone would have stuffed animals as best friends. Everyone would be happy. =)

  5. Oh my goodness I totally agree with your ideas about the perfect school! It sounds so nice. Only 5 hours that would be like heaven. oh and I love doing projects. Ones that you can be creative with. And your idea to have no mandatory classes would be like heaven. Some of the classes I'm taking have nothing to do with what I want to be. And.. they take up space that I could be taking a class doing something I enjoy. It would be so awesome if it was really like that.
