The New World

'All people are born equal and so have equal rights' - article 1 of the universal declaration of human rights. Yes, very little population of the world are and they are mostly the people who have a luxurious life with lots of money. However, the rest of the world had to suffer and are still suffering because of the ill-treatment. Equality means the state of being equal in rights and opportunities. If I had a chance to change the world, where people were valued and equally treated, wouldn't the world be a lot better than now? A world where no people have to worry about being mistreated, where equality is the priority.

First of all, everybody will get a voice. These days, it is hard to see a up-stander who fight against the wrong. It is because everybody else is most likely to be a bystander, who is apathetic to the situation and let the wrong be. Nobody will hear his voice, and although it is heard, it will not be so effective. But once everybody is equally valued, everybody else will listen to his voice and his opinions very carefully, with respect. People will not underestimate his opinion or ignore it for they know that the up-stander is no different than themselves, and there is no reason to fear of participating and standing up for their rights. As an example, the Egyptians' uprising again Hosni Mubarak, the present president of Egypt. People had reasons of protesting. One of their reasons, is because they had to be living poorly. 20 to 30 percent of the Egyptian population, was investigated to be below the poverty line. It was caused by the uneven development by the Egyptian government, where poor gets poorer and the rich gets richer. As the Egyptian citizens were happened to be in the same situation where they were all suffering with poverty, they all decided to stand against the Egyptian government. Plus, Hosni Mubarak was planning to inherit his position to his son later. And Egyptians couldn't be angered more - More civilian started to join the protest and the protest grew larger where it was out of control.

Additionally, people would not have to compete for power and control. I define the word 'power' as pride. All the fighting for power and control is because people want pride and be respected. But if each one gets same amount of respect and pride, there will be no need for the conflict. As I learned last year, there were many conflicts and fights between people for power and control during the middle age. One of the examples would be the archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket's story. Henry the Second, the king of England at the time, was in conflict with Thomas Becket, over the Church and its rights. Henry the Second wanted to have control over the Church for more power. After all, Thomas Becket disagreed with the idea and started to stand against the ruler. Soon the archbishop of Canterbury was accidentally murdered by the soldiers who misunderstood the king's order. In the New World, people wouldn't have to fight because everybody gets the same amount of respect. Nobody is bothered to take control and have power because all people are same. Everybody is never greedy and are happy about being fairly respected.

In other words, if people are evenly respected, treated and given opportunities, there will be no uprising or fights and conflicts as people can never be greedy. No one will ever have a reason to be greedy over pride or power because all people have the same amount of respect, pride and power in the New World.
