I think this is a good question because everyone always talks about how messed up the world is. So let's take that and focus on solutions. So if you could truly make a difference, what would you do and how would you do it?

filled the world with love, smile to everyone you see on the streets, it may sound crazy but you can help them to see positive things in the world, lets care for each other, no matter what race and colors or language we are using, we live in the same world.

that is definately a good start and I would have to agree with you on that one. If we really work together the world would be such a better place and i'm sure many agree with me there. that's just something for us all to think aboujt. I believe it starts with the children. If we can't all love eachother at least do the right thing and teach the children of the world to love one another and I believe that would make a huge impact on repairing the problems we are facing today. What do you think?

OK, You said you would help to your best efforts but you never specified what those efforts are. You should be a little more specific in your answers. Not only will it give you more money and a better rating but it will also make the discussion more interesting. I'm sure this is something that you thought about before, but i don't think you put much thought into this response. You should take on a role of leadership. I personally believe that we just can't sit around and wait for people to do things. I feel that we have to go out and make things happen. If everyone showed this type of dedication with a positive focus then i believe that would make the world a better place

if i could make the world a better place, i will start by recycling my own wastes. like plastic bags, plastic cups (from fast food places), newspapers and all. it's not one big thing. but it's the most possible thing i could contribute as a start!

Wow that's a good idea. I really feel that that would make the world a better place. You are obviously a good thinker. It takes people to think to make the world a better place because if you don't think about it, you won't even know where to begin. now that is definately something to think about.

1.Contribute to peace, culture and education. 2.Encourage the protection of nature and the environment. 3.Safeguard fundamental human rights and eliminate discrimination. 4.Respect cultural diversity and promote cultural exchange. By everyday dialog with whoever I come in contact with, and by attending community activities for World peace. Just a few things we could do.

Those are really good principles. However do you truly believe that world peace is possible?

That is definately the key and a very important thing. infact it may be all that is needed. A little positivity goes a long way and now that it has been stated I personally challenge everyone to be positive in all they do. If more people did this the world would be a much better place. At least that's what I believe. A lot of people have no idea how far a little positivity could go in this world. Especially when it is the negativity that is bringing it down. So I truly believe that the stregnth is in being positive. Thanks a lot for that that was an interesting outlook. I'm pretty sure that you have a lot to offer the world.

You know, this might sound really twee and cheesy, but I think we can all make the world a better place through the small things we do. Not many of us are going to be in positions to make huge, giant changes to the world, but we can change our world... the people we interact with, the place we live in... we can make this a better place every day through being positive, through looking beyond ourselves to help others, and doing what we can in our own communities. I think that's the only way the whole world can change, by individuals playin their part in their own worlds.
