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.

Una città senza delinquenza e senza migranti
A city must be safe. To be safe it must be without migrants and without criminals. To do this requires certain penalties. Those who steal from Milan and Rome in the metro and on public transport should be arrested and sentenced. This is the only way to combat micro-crime. The future I have described refers to the safety and liveability of cities. I live in Turin and even the city of Turin begins to be unsafe in many areas.

Green energy and it's effect
Probably it will be very different - it is very likely that we will use way more electricity (for instance electric cars), but hopefully most of it will be produced by solar/wind energy without huge impact to CO2 emissions. And with less CO2 emissions I hope climate change will be less of an issue to the world.

I wish that humanity was truly considered equal by all and that racism, homophobia would disappear and that there would be greater respect for women and that bullying in all its forms would disappear so that people could live without fear of others and be recognized as different.

I wish for a peaceful world in 2040. The world is open to other people and religions. No war and no hunger, just a better world where people accept and respect each other. No hatred, no violence and no terror and attacks. No people who die in war or in an attack.
