Is the World Changing For the Better? With the year 2012 quickly approaching, world terrorists being caught, and gas prices through the roof many people wonder is the progress good or bad. The world around us is constantly changing, with huge decisions being made almost every day. The many changes that the world is currently undergoing will have a mostly positive effect on the future. Though there are a few negative trends (terrorism, global warming, etc.), I am confident that the world is still moving forward. I believe that the world is changing for the better because of three observations. Our technology is always improving. Judging by the speed at which our communication (cell phones, computers, GPS systems) the rate of improvement will not slow down anytime soon. Technology is not only becoming more advanced, it is also becoming more affordable. Even in poverty stricken countries, nearly everyone has a cell phone nearby for emergencies. Governments around the world are also improving. Huge changes in the ways countries are run occur every day. Just in the past few years, many foreign countries have turned into modern countries. As more and more people want a world filled with democracy, the closer the world will get to being one ruled by the many, not the few. Finally, the world is becoming a better place because people of all types are starting to come together. The world is becoming a community, largely due to the increase in technology and changes in governing systems, and as this happens, differences will be set aside. Hopefully, as the many members of the many nations around the world come together, peace will ensue. As evidenced by improving technology, changing governments, and global togetherness, the world is changing for the better. Our grandchildren will have better lives than did anyone before them life will be more complex and simpler at the same time. At a day and age where you can simply type in an address in a GPS and be taken directly there the world has simply becoming a marvelous place.
