National Handwriting Day: Varun

Our society is a creative one. The 21st century has brought many changes in our lives - a prominent one being our ability to work with others and depending on others. Many experts believe that the 20th century was one of the most productive centuries in human history, and that the 21st century will by far be the most productive and life-altering century in human history. Our society and planet is evolving quickly, but our attitudes - we as people - are not.


In this age of technology and advancement, terrorism is increasing and becoming more terrifying. In a century where we went from long-range weapons to bombs that could destroy the world we have forgotten the values of trust, friendship, and compassion. We are fighting against each other, not realizing that we are a race and that we act as one.

We have created a society in which everyone is becoming more materialistic. Actions are becoming more self-oriented. I am sure that if you looked back on the past at characters like Napoleon or Benito Mussolini you could see this, and this attitude is spreading at an alarming rate.

As you can see, the world is greatly troubled, but there is still hope. Hope will prevail for all eternity and it will wave us from destruction. We are now starting to realize our faults and we are starting to fix them on small scales. All we need is compassion, trust, and love. It is easier said than done, but if we have dedication, determination, and discipline towards the goal we will surely succeed.
