I have not really witnessed any serious form of violence, but I have read and heard enough to be concerned. It seems as though nothing is being done to stop this. I know people who are in gangs only to protect themselves from some of the dangers on the street. Drugs are another problem that I have not encountered directly - yet. Some of my classmates have talked about smoking and even using illegal drugs.
Pollution affects everyone in the world today - and in the future.
Many people do recycle, but this is not enough to make up for the damage we've done. Fortunately, I do not live in a poverty stricken area. However, I see homeless people almost daily, begging for help. The world is not perfect now, but there are many advantages to living in this time. Technology is now bigger than ever.
