I also feel as if there is a lot of talk about how to end worldly issues in terms of poverty or in third world countries, and while there are people and organizations working to end these issues such a great percentage of the world is turning a blind eye to them. ]]> 2018-08-23 16:03:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ashley_szymski/h028l3zh0ba4/wish/274910561 https://padlet.com/ashley_szymski/h028l3zh0ba4/wish/274910563 Most people aren't very accepting of the difference they may see in people.

However, at the moment one of the most pressing things-in my opinion- is gun control. The amount of shooting that happen in the United States, especially in schools, is unacceptable. After every shooting they always say "Our thoughts and prayers are with you" and then after awhile everyone forgets about it and we just wait for it to happen again. We need stricter laws on guns and background checks done before you can get guns.]]> 2018-08-23 16:03:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ashley_szymski/h028l3zh0ba4/wish/274910567 erinpoh0680 https://padlet.com/ashley_szymski/h028l3zh0ba4/wish/274910570 I think that there is a lot of judgement that goes on in the world today.  I would change it so that people are able to do what they wish/ love without being judged.  ]]> 2018-08-23 16:03:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ashley_szymski/h028l3zh0ba4/wish/274910570 sofiamay1283 https://padlet.com/ashley_szymski/h028l3zh0ba4/wish/274910597 We shouldn't eat animals, I would like everyone to be vegan.

These people, especially teenagers, have failed to be able to create real relationships with other humans causing them to become too dependent on the virtual world, including virtual friends. All of this ignoring of our surroundings, is causing people to underestimate the damage that they are causing to the environment and how our resources are become more even more limited which will cause us all to suffer in the near future. ]]> 2018-08-23 16:03:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ashley_szymski/h028l3zh0ba4/wish/274910619 https://padlet.com/ashley_szymski/h028l3zh0ba4/wish/274910698 If I could change one thing about society, it would be the discrimination of races.

It is becoming more and more popular among the LGBTQ+ community and among other minorities as well. 
One thing I'd want to be different is the still impoverished regions elsewhere in the world.

Although it is arguable that the positive aspects and opportunities that technology offers to people all around the world, I think that there are many negative affects that technology has upon the developing mind. One example of this would be the way that very young children are beginning to spend a large amount of time in front of a screen. This is replacing the human connections and relationships that are integral into the development of children throughout their lives. Furthermore, for students nowadays, it is easier to simply Google a topic or worksheet for answers than to try and search through a textbook to find out the answers. This can potentially harm the learning process of students who may rely heavily upon the internet for solutions. ]]> 2018-08-23 16:04:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ashley_szymski/h028l3zh0ba4/wish/274911226 https://padlet.com/ashley_szymski/h028l3zh0ba4/wish/274911359 2018-08-23 16:05:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ashley_szymski/h028l3zh0ba4/wish/274911359 angelalan2820 https://padlet.com/ashley_szymski/h028l3zh0ba4/wish/274911373 We can't have different opinions somebody always has to be right]]> 2018-08-23 16:05:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ashley_szymski/h028l3zh0ba4/wish/274911373 mohitsha5821 https://padlet.com/ashley_szymski/h028l3zh0ba4/wish/274911420 Nothing is wrong with the world, it is one's mindset that is wrong. No, the world is not perfect, but it is what you make of it. If you think that there is something wrong with the world, then you will be able to find a million faults in our world. If you think the world is beautiful the way it is, then you will feel that nothing is wrong with the world. Also, I understand that sometimes life can be hard, but that is no excuse to blame the world.
