If you had a one time chance to change one thing about this world we live in, what would it be? and why? It could be aaannything you wish;)
I would want to change the living standards of the poor and rich and have them be equal, making everyone wealthy!=) This would be almost impossible but I still hope for this someday, and i really wish we could stop poverty sooner. I know there will still be a difference in social classes, there will always be rich and poor, but we can definietly eliminate poverty someday.

I would take away the greed. Stop making it always me me. Its not a dog eat dog world, its not every man for himself. Some people need help, and usually the people that really need help are ignored. People just say oh its not my problem. If everyone looked out for whoever they could, the world would be a better place. And I mean personally help. Not giving some money to some large "feed the hungry" corporation. You know where you're money goes when you give to those programs? The pockets of the people that run those programs.

I see your very personal point. I too feel it should be this way and less selfishness, greed, hate etc. Everyone is in this together so we should all work as one. I don't think it will ever happen though because some people will always choose not to help and choose not to volunteer or do work etc. Those would be the greedy people. So greed would be another chracteristic that could be good to take away from this world.

If I could change one thing about this world, I would like to let every child in the world receive good education from elementary school to university. In my opinion, a well-educated man is more likely to improve his or her life. They could accept new ideas and communicate with others well. I anticipate that in such world the poverty rate would decline and there would be fewer wars.

Education is extremely important in today's world. There is definietly a need for more open minded people. As you said an educated man will most likely improve their standard of living as well as contribute a lot to the world or the community. I think it would eliminate poverty as everyone would be fit to work, hopefully there would be enough for everyone. Fewer wars might occur if we were only a bit smart so i totally agree with you=)

very honest of you!=p hehe, it would be nice to live in a world with only happy people and especially honest ones. I think there are too many lies in this world and its really sad to see how much people hide from their loved ones or how much governments etc hide from their people.

I would make it not high tech. Were we don't destroy the natural ways of life. I would wish to have more green pastures.

Interesting, if no technology was found do you think there would only be nature and natural thing on this earth util now? More green would be amazing! especially to prevent all these unbelivable environmental issues we have from happening.

I would get rid of hatred and bigotry. If you got rid of these attitudinal issues, it would have far reaching effects- less crime, more community, more willingness to help others, and so on.
