Future wars?

As we all know, our world is FAR from perfect. Every day we face the possibility of entering a new war. for example 9/11. We had all thought it would have been another september day, but disaster struck and the next thing we knew, the goverment declared war and began sending U.S troops to fight in the middle east.

From a recent article i have read,  (http://vanrcook.tripod.com/nextwar.htm) the four countries America and close ally; Israel is possible to go to war with are; Venezuela, Syria, Iran, and North Korea. The reasoning for the possible war out-break is tension between the political systems and natural resources such as oil.

It is said that venezuelan president Hugo chavez has made plenty of remarks towards U.S presidents, especially George W. Bush. calling "el diablo". To back up his smart remarks; Chavez is trying to make undeveloped nations rise against the U.S. At the time, if venezuela was to attack the U.s, our defense is low because of the number of troops occupied in the Iraq and Afghanistan.

The way we can hopefully save ourselves from any war out breaks is to create treaties to make everyone happy. though it will most likely never happend because of the different beliefs throught the world, i feel like its our only shot.

The benefits of working together . #3

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mhHx1wMN2g

-Everyone has heard the words; "Two hands are better than one". This expression shows the benefits of  people working together to get something done. The future depends on the people who are living in the world now. Depending on the desicions people make today will affect the world tomorrow.

- In life theres plenty of things that people have no control over, like cancer, other illnesses and things such as natural disasters. though i concede that many things cannot be completely stopped, i believe if society comes together we have a better chance to put an end to these horrific experiences we'll all most likely have to face in our lives at one time or another. Theres ways we can all help, whether that way is to help clean up a neighborhood after a natural disaster, or walk a few miles to help raise millions of dollars to find cures for illnesses, It'll help.

If a majority of society comes together it'll make a major difference, that difference may not come today or tomorrow but one day in the future, the world may be a better place.

#2 Enviorment in the Future

Humans are the primary source of causing global warming.  The three main ways a person can contribute to the growing issue are; 1.) driving a car. 2.) Cutting down trees and plants, when cutting down trees they release the carbon they have ammaculated over the years they've been alive. 3.) eating and consuming supermarket meat; to feed these animals, besides the massive machinery used in the process to transport and feed the animals, 18% of global green house gasses come from the livestocks digestive system.

-- If humanity decides to keep treating the earth this way, the future may be uncertain and dangerous. some of the hazards may include; increased flooding for coastal areas, increased droughts in dry places, displacement of coastal populations as the sea level rises and increased famine due to the loss of freshwater as snow and glaciers become scarce.

The way humanity can slow down global warming is to cut down on what we are used to and stop relying on things that harm our atmosphere. For example; if possible take a bike to work, it not only helps save the earth, but benefits your health. Another way that we've all heard over and over is to recycle. If everyone recycles there is less need to create new which saves the worlds raw materials.
  * Fun fact; one issuse of the NY times on a sunday may use up to 300 acres of trees.

Post 1


At first glance, you can tell this photo is futuristic with its large canopy parking lot for flying cars. I chose this image because this is hopefully what the basic beach resort of the future will look like someday. Though i concede this resort if far into the future or may be totally wrong to as what the future actually holds, i believe the artist gave their opinion of what they want the future to look like. Within the vivid detail of the artwork you can see the artist had taken much time and thought to express his opinions. In the photo you can see the artist did not only concentrate on one type of futuristic transportation but he made three. (flying cars, jetboat/space ship, and an advanced helicopter) In society today, we have things like the artist had drawn, but his drawings are ADVANCED.  I believe this picture was created to show how the humanity will continue to advance to fit our needs desires.
