"The essence of the beautiful is unity in variety." - W. Somerset Maugham It's not a secret that our world is far from being perfect. But both now and always there are people who want to make it better. Some of them expresses this through the arts, someone tries to take actions. Bit by bit people have changed their mind about world's arrangement, but the main problems still remain. Our community should be ashamed of social differentiation, poverty, and illiteracy, because this is what divides us. However, there are people who unify our world and try to erase these differences. They are kind and responsible, respectful and hard-working. They are well-educated and speak many languages, because knowledge of many languages won't give you much, if you have nothing to say. They are honest and open-minded. They are Global Citizens. It is undeniable that solving all world problems will take decades or even hundreds years. The generations will interchange for this time.

    Which is good because this means more and more people will start to understand what's happening in today's world. For example, Climate change, it now seems to be at least partially human-induced, meaning we as humans have the ability to make some sort of difference.

I believe we as human beings of this earth should learn and use as many possible resources available to us, to protect what we want to coexist with for the long

  • The Pros And Cons Of Citizenism

    811 Words  | 2 Pages

    The only group of people that have ever felt a sense of belonging in the modernized United States are Caucasian people. Why? It’s not that they owned the land, or rightfully claimed it. No, it’s because their ancestors have used influence and power to take what they greedily lusted for. To make their stolen country succeed, they forcibly enlisted several slaves, and used the people they invited, to keep their iron fist credible. If the people could not rely on the government to feel protected, entitled, and successful, then they would combine forces to seek other forms of management. Similar to the formation of the Americas, and the Civil War, when the South’s protection (the possession of slaves to promote their economic success) was threatened.
