What is one thing in this world that you would change if you had the power to?

Question

I rid us all of the classifications we use to define our selfs and stereo type we us on others. Then you have no choice but to be yourself. What would you do?

Answer 1

I'd probably make it mandatory for everyone who wants to drive to pass a mandatory training class, one where you actually LEARN the proper and right way to drive.

I figured I'd come up with something realistic instead of ending hunger, etc. There are natural checks and balances in place to curb the world's population. While thats a noble enough cause, if we end famine and disease, the world's population would skyrocket exponentially and we would only be in a worse situation. It just shows that even the people with the best intentions don't think things through all the way.

Answer 2

I think abolishing pride would solve a host of evils. The pride that causes people to fight for the position of coolest, best, richest, most successful, most intelligent, most correct, etcetera.

The absence of pride would render meaningless things like "bling" and Lambourginis useless, and compel the buyers of those products to give money to charity...which would cure world hunger, fund disease research, and solve a ton of money-related problems. It would cure peer pressure and it's consequences (such as random sexual acts, drug use, drinking, drunk driving, stealing, etc.) It would cure racism, greed, religion-based fighting and hatred, etcetera, etcetera. The list is endless.

I think pride is the root of all evil, and a little humility would go a long way in this world.

Answer 3

I'd have to say equality but to the point where everyone was the same financially. Like a fresh start where no matter if u have Bill Gates bank acct. like every 100-150yrs. everyone starts back at the same amt. So no one would have to bust their butts harder than any other nor would there really be anyone born w/a silver spoon in their mouth anymore!

Answer 4

I would change socialized stereotypes and gender roles. I would change the government. I would make so that all people would have an opportunity to great health care, nobody would get turned down.

Stop 2 million children dying of hunger every year.

Take all the hate out of the peoples' hearts.

Answer 7

Edna! I'd turn her into a self destructing virus!

Religious extremism of all faiths. No need to come banging on my door, tell my I'm not saved, or blow up my plane.
