Things I Want to Do to Change the World Around Me

An Inside Look to How One Teen Would Make Changes

If I could change the world, I would do a lot of things. Additionally, I would change the way a lot of things work too. For example, I would change laws; mostly gun laws so the murder rate go down. Then I would do something about the carjacking. There’s been a lot of people that been getting their cars taken.

Change in Police Departments

Furthermore, I would do more about police officers killing people because they are not supposed. Additionally, I would change some things about schools, like add more safety things like:

  • metal detectors.
  • security guards.
  • more teachers.
  • and additional books and computers.

After School Programs

Then there would be after school programs for the kids with sports programs too for the ones who want to be athletes. Plus I would have programs for kids to get help on their work they need help on.

I would have music and technology programs for kids too. Then, for the adults, I would make more jobs and opportunity’s. Thus, making it easier for them to find jobs and make money.

Help the Homeless

Furthermore, I would find a solution for homeless people. I would there to be less homeless people; I feel like the world would be better if it was like that.

Additionally, I like how everything is going electric. However, I don’t think I would make all things electric, like some cars. I feel like they should still be on gas; although, there are some nice e-vehicles. I like how they drive.

Adding Gyms

I would also have open gyms in neighborhoods and less courts outside. However, there would still have some. Personally, I don’t like playing basketball outside.

Change in Government

I would change how some things work in the government; like wars and letting people get away with things they are not supposed to be doing. Especially the police, they do a lot of things we don’t know about and they are hid from us. Furthermore, we don’t need to have racist people either because that causes a lot of problems especially between Black and white people.

Additionally, I would’ve stopped slavery sooner. Currently, a lot of people still feel unsafe to play outside and even some parents are afraid to let their kids go outside because of how much crime it is in the world now. A lot of kids are easily influenced; so it might be safer to keep some under their parents watch.

Entertainment Changes

I would change how some of the music is too because it can be a impact on kids. The music they listen to might make them act a certain way. The same thing with TV if you watch too much of something, it can be a impact on you in a way. Furthermore, the same thing can be said about video games or the food people eat.

I wouldn’t let them make fake food for people to buy from restaurants or stores. It makes some people sick and messes up people’s bodies. That should not be a thing. Fake food is going to always be bad.

Rescue Departments

Furthermore, I would make changes to the fire department and ambulances. I feel they be driving slow too sometimes. When I see them do that I think, “I would make hem be able to drive faster.” This goes for even the police officers because i feel like they don’t drive fast enough for emergency’s.

I wouldn’t have too many rules when it come to traveling. I feel like you should be able to move around the world, explore, and see things you don’t get to see at home. I feel you can learn different things doing that too.
