Democratic Europe (Demokratična evropa)

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

In 2040, I want to continue to live in a democratic society. I hope that after periods of crisis as it is now (covid-19 crisis, Russian invasion...), we will not witness a repetition of history, with reference to the arrival of any totalitarian systems in power. In order to avoid this, we need to maintain zero tolerance for such movements, namely, I believe that in some parts of Europe they are not excessively distant from such movements. That democracy should continue to be a practice and not just a pretext under which different interests of individual leaders hide. The autonomy of the media, the right to express opinions, the right of women to vote, all of which are the privilege that people have chosen in the past, is our duty not to take this for granted. However, my announcement remains optimistic, as I believe that my generation (young people) is much more aware of what our predecessors were. From this perspective, I believe that we will continue to live in a democratic society, where every citizen or member of a given community will have a say, the possibility of expressing satisfaction and dissatisfaction in symbiosis with autonomous media, which will act as a means of pursuing the interests of all and not just a handful of people in power. However, in order to achieve my announcement, it will be necessary to do what to do. The main thing is that young people are educated about the media, about politics and that they are actively participated in politics, as it is the guise of democracy which, according to my assessment, has not been used best in recent years, so there is some dissatisfaction for which we have been co-responsible by everyone who has not done anything to prevent the current situation from emerging.

Dark dark future
People no longer travel by plane, but by other, more personal means of transport. Water will be a problem, because its reserves have been exhausted, although devices have already been developed that extract water from the air, but it has deteriorated the air quality so much in big cities that people had to move away from them many years ago. New natural resources have been found in nature, which has eased people's food shortages. Many millions of people have died from new deadly epidemics that are developed in laboratories and are also developing in nature. Apartments have been built on the moon where people go on vacation. A few satellites are still searching for a permanently habitable planet. The thickness of the atmosphere has been improved, although it is really thin, many people also die from the cancers caused by it. Money has lost its value, new payment methods have been developed.

Healthy foods
The food gets cheaper and more qualitative. They stop adding unknown cemicals to food. They allow people who have farms or orchards to sell products off the field. There is a sugar quota… they add less sugar everywhere and ban some of the more unhealthy sugary things like sodas. The fitness centres are available to everyone and can be subscribed for as long as one wants and not binding people to them for half a year or more.

I think in 2040, technological advances will make medicine move forward. New techniques to diagnose diseases, AI technology to support doctors, or being the entity that treats. New types of therapies, drugs to increase the chance of a healthy convenient long life. Cancer will become a weaker opponent. Although the prognosis is not optimistic, there is hope that the number of health care workers will increase.

Utopia
I envision a world where common sense prevails, where there is respect for every living thing, for animals, plants and nature in general. Where everyone can satisfy basic needs. Where the word materialism no longer exists and money loses importance. I hope for a world where the word cancer is no longer scary
