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.

Férová a flexibilní práce 2040
In 2040, I would like working conditions to be fairer and more respectful of work-life balance. A four-day work week without wage cuts would become standard, as technology and automation would allow for greater efficiency. Workers would have stronger protection – even those on agreements or in alternative forms of work would have the same rights as paid leave or sick leave. Fair wages would ensure that no profession is undervalued, especially in the care and health sectors. A hybrid model of work would allow for more flexibility for people to choose between working from home and working in the office. Companies would also pay more attention to the psychological well-being of employees, offer psychological support and prevent burnout syndrome. In such a future, work would not only be a necessity, but also a meaningful part of life.

nature and mental health
the world shouldn’t be focusing on technology, nature should be given more attention, protecting our planet because we really ruined almost everything maybe there is no going back maybe the end is near so why shouldn’t we enjoy nature and natural things in the time thats left for us, also mental health and psychology should be more important

I would like to see in the future how the state is finally helping citizens in our Czech Republic and does not raise its salary and food every year. I would like the Czech government to finally help people, not just themselves, to get the same pay as ordinary people, to try what it's like to work for 30 thousand gross napal to feed the family-rent and themselves.

Un jour peut-être..
2040, I come to the end of my life. The years have passed since Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine. European leaders did not have enough guts to help this , country, they made too many concessions to a dictator. However, in 2019 during a trip, I found Russia, let’s say its magnificent monuments, its interpreters ready to do anything to satisfy me, in compliance of course with the dictatorial laws of that country. They were easy to see that we were being watched. Today, Ukraine has become a dismantled land, occupied by foreign armed forces to ensure its security. But, this masquerade will not hold back a new attack, of Putin, still at the head of the country, very old, but always virulent. President Trump, so-called united states, has made a pact. In France, for my part, we live in safety. My children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren may not know her for good, unless one day the leaders of all countries take charge, become adults, stop fighting over land and natural resources. Like the children's round, hold hands and finally offer them a better world, Where there is universal peace with respect for all and they finally protect nature.
