In your opinion what is the biggest cause of bad things happening in the world? Is it greed? Religion? Racism? Pollution? Hunger? There are so many awful things happening in the world, what do you do to make it a better place to be?

if one minds his own business there would not be anything to worry......just doing one's job is important and keeping himself engaged ......this will solve most of the problems...

See I think that is part of the problem. Everyone is so busy minding their own business and looking after themselves that they are so narrow minded and do not see people who are so much worse off than themselves. Have you ever been through a time when everything seemed to be wrong? I have, and the fastest way to drag myself out of that situation was to find someone who was worse off than myself and help them. I could then find the joy in my own life.

I think that we do make 3 presuppotions: justice, equality, Freedom for all.

Freedom for all is something that should be a basic human right. I think the problem arises though when one persons view of freedom is different to anothers.

All of what you have stated and maybe more! It would be hard to choose which is the biggest. But for me, I make my world what I would like it to be in my own mind. My family and pets are my biggest priority, and the rest is just too hard for me to change. I don't have that kind of power!

In fact it is good idea to eliminate poverty from the World by educating people who are poor .....i agree this positive idea but i have a questoin.............. whom do u think will educate these people? ....is it the leader of these countries who only know how to deposit huge sum of money in abroad banks or it is UN agencies or it is the people themselves to educate themselves.........? in frank speach poverty is inherent with the people and their socities but untill and unless people act from grassroot level to stand against the uneven share of sources and power around the world poverty wont be eliminated.

I think it's just pure selfishness. If people were not selfish, the world would be a better place. Apart from that, I feel that if each of us were better people, and if we were better to others, the world would be a better place.

I think greed (money/power) may be one of the worst thing ever. Everyone keep trying to be the best among everybody and may go all out in order to have money..possibly to kill or hurt somebody. of course there may be other factors that caused it but i think that if money is not a problem, the world will be a better place to live in.
